The chicken house should be cleaned up always, and the empty chicken house also need cleaned . After the chickens are transferred out, in order to provide a safe environment for the future chicken flocks and surrounding chicken flocks, the house must be empty for at least 20 days. Management of key links such as cleaning, rinsing and disinfection.

Clean the material tower, feed storage room and trough to avoid waste of feed, and clear the chicken manure from the chicken house to ensure the chicken manure treatment in the chicken house. Chicken manure outside the chicken house. First clean it in a bag, clean it, rinse the road with clean water, and finally spray disinfection.

Clean the drinking water system, power supply system, cages and other equipment and facilities; protect the electrical equipment control switches in the house. When arranging the house, try not to remove the facilities and items from the house. It should be arranged, washed and disinfected in the house. If the facility or item must be removed, strict cleaning and disinfection should be carried out before removal to prevent contamination of other areas.

The poultry cage equipment can be washed 2 to 3 days after the house is finished. In the process of rinsing, according to the principle of first, then, after, after, after and after, to ensure the rinsing effect and work efficiency, at the same time, it can also save costs. After rinsing and finishing, check the working effect. If the rinsing is unqualified, it should be re-rinsed immediately. And check again.

After the house is washed clean, the water pipes of each floor should be adjusted to the appropriate height, and all the equipment in the house (including feeding, ventilation, scraping, lighting, drinking water, temperature supply, etc.) should be thoroughly overhauled, all preparations Do it.

The inside and outside of the egg cage are neat and tidy. It is necessary to ensure that there are no oil on each sliding surface, screw, rack, gear box, oil hole, etc., no oil leakage or air leakage in all parts, and chips, debris and dirt around the equipment. Clean and clean; tools, accessories, workpieces (products) should be placed neatly, pipes and lines should be organized; lubricated and oiled or oil changed on time, continuous oil, no dry friction, normal oil pressure, bright oil mark, smooth oil passage, oil The quality meets the requirements, the oil gun, oil cup and linoleum are clean; the safety operation rules are observed, the equipment is not overloaded, the safety protection device of the equipment is complete and reliable, and the unsafe factors are eliminated in time.

The daily maintenance of the egg cage is the basic work of equipment maintenance, and must be institutionalized and standardized. For the regular maintenance of equipment, work quotas and material consumption quotas shall be established, and assessment shall be carried out according to the quota. The regular maintenance work of equipment shall be included in the assessment content of the workshop contract responsibility system. Regular inspection of equipment is a planned preventive inspection. In addition to the human senses, the inspection methods must also have certain inspection tools and instruments. The inspections are carried out according to regular inspection cards. Regular inspections are also called periodic inspections. The mechanical equipment should also be checked for accuracy to determine the degree of accuracy of the equipment.

Layer chicken cages maintenance should be carried out in accordance with maintenance procedures. Equipment maintenance procedures are requirements and regulations for routine maintenance of equipment. Persistence in equipment maintenance procedures can extend equipment life and ensure a safe and comfortable working environment. Its main content should include:

1. The equipment should be neat, clean, sturdy, lubricated, anti-corrosive, safe, etc., the working content, working methods, tools and materials used, standards and precautions;

2. The parts, methods and standards for daily inspection and maintenance and regular inspection;

3. Check and assess the content and methods of operating workers to maintain equipment.

The summer weather is hot, and the egg production rate will drop, especially after entering the sky, so the farmers need to do the following management to ensure the egg production rate of the laying hens in summer.

Feeding management points

1. Pay attention to the weather forecast, pay attention to the high temperature and high humidity weather, especially after the rain, the higher humidity will cause the wet curtain to cool down and increase the heat stress.

2. Reduce the density of chicken battery cage feeding. Appropriately reduce the number of replenishment, timely eliminate residual, weak, sick chicks, expand the group as early as possible, reduce the stocking density.
 
3. Adjust the feeding time. After 2-4 hours of feeding, the heat production increases, so high temperature weather avoids feeding during high temperature period, and feeding time avoids high temperature period, preferably before 8 am and after 5 pm. Pay attention to the mildew and deterioration of the feed to prevent poisoning or intestinal diseases, daily cleansing and limiting light once.

4. Strengthen night ventilation and cool down. Conducive to the chickens to dissipate the heat during the day, increase feed intake.

5. Adjust the waterline in time to ensure sufficient clean drinking water. In high temperature weather, the chickens need a large amount of water to ensure that the chickens have sufficient water, and the lower drinking water temperature can lower the body temperature.

6. Timely supplement electrolytes and vitamins. The flock has a large amount of respiration, and at the same time, it has a large amount of drinking water, which is easy to cause imbalance of the acid-base balance. At this time, the electrolyte should be replenished in time; at the same time, the compound vitamin is supplemented to improve the body's ability to resist heat stress.

7. Reduce the stocking density. Laying hens are particularly afraid of heat. In summer, people should reduce the stocking density of chickens in time according to the rising temperature. The density of flocks should be based on ambient temperature, humidity and the type of house. In the hot summer, reducing the stocking density can effectively reduce the small ambient temperature in the house, which is of great significance in production practice. When captive laying hens enter the summer, it is advisable to raise 5 per square meter; after entering the volts, it can be reduced to 4 per square meter.

The above points are the advantages of raising chickens in poultry battery cages described by the author. Generally, the breeding quantity is less than 1,000. It is best for farmers to use flat or free-range breeding. This breeding method is the most cost-effective and can quickly return to cost. If the breeding volume is more than 3,000 or more, then the author recommends the use of layer chicken cages, which is convenient and labor-saving.

Farmers who raise layer hens in poultry chicken cages all want to allow chickens to lay more eggs, but some of them have low egg production rates due to some reasons. Today we will discuss the reasons.

First of all, there are two reasons for the lack of egg production rate: feed and management. Farmers need to check whether the feed formula is nutritionally balanced, and check whether the temperature and humidity of the poultry house are in line with the growth conditions of laying hens.

Farmers also need to reflect on the rapid change of feed after the peak egg production period. This will cause the chicken to have a greater stress response and affect the chicken's feed intake. As a result, the nutrients obtained by the chickens are reduced and the egg production rate is reduced.

The other reason is that the noisy environment of the chicken house causes the flock to be agitated. For example, loud noises can easily frighten chickens. Or suddenly change the breeding environment, etc. In response to the above problems, farmers should strengthen the management of the chicken house breeding environment and solve the problems in time.

Farmers need to consider whether the chicken house has sufficient light. Because light has a greater impact on stimulating the physiological functions of the gonads and laying eggs. Some chicken farmers only use natural light instead of lighting, so that the light is below 16 hours. Some have supplemented the light, but the light bulb is too small or the degree is too small. Although there are 15W light bulbs, they are not cleaned in time and are covered by dust, etc. And the light is not enough, which adversely affects the egg production rate.

The above is the summary of the reasons why laying hens lay fewer eggs. I hope that all farmers who raise layer hens can use the battery cages for layer hens to summarize the above experience to better raise chickens.
