Many broiler farm cage manufacturers believe that the main task in the rearing period is to cultivate healthy, well-balanced chickens with a body weight that conforms to the normal growth curve to ensure timely production. Therefore, in production, we must pay full attention to the dietary coordination of growing chickens. The content of crude protein in the diet should be appropriately reduced, which can be gradually reduced from 18% to 19% during the brooding period to 16% to 15%.

At the same time, reduce the energy concentration in the diet. When compounding diets, low-energy feeds such as rice bran and wheat bran can be used to replace part of high-energy feeds such as corn to help exercise the stomach and intestines, improve the digestion of the feed, and make the growing chickens have a good body condition. Pay attention to supplementing vitamins and minerals. The content of calcium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, etc. and the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the diet should be appropriate.

During the rearing period, the feed should be changed at least twice at the age of 6-7 weeks and at the age of 16-18 weeks. There must be a transitional period for each refueling. It is not possible to change all suddenly, so that the chicken has a process of adaptation. Especially from the brooding period to the rearing period, the replacement of feed is a great turning point. The nutrient content of feed, such as crude protein content, has dropped from 18% to 19% to 15% to 16%. Changes in feed ingredients can easily change the palatability of chickens and reduce feed intake. If they are not managed well, chickens are prone to disease.

Therefore, the following methods can be adopted for feed transition. From the first 1 to 2 days of the 7th week of age, 2/3 of the breeding period feed and 1/3 of the breeding period feed are mixed and fed. For 5-7 days, use 1/3 of the brooding period feed and 2/3 of the rearing period feed to be mixed and fed. From the 8th week of age, they are completely fed with feed during the growing period.

The first kind of feed change method is relatively detailed, and it is often used when the composition of the chicks and feed species changes greatly. The third refueling method is relatively crude, and experienced farmers and broiler cage manufacturers believe that it is generally used when the composition of adult chickens and feed species changes little. The second refueling method lies between the two and has a wide range of applications.

The above are the precautions when using broiler cages to raise chickens. I hope that the above content will be useful for novice farmers.

Until now, the chicken industry is still deeply loved by farmers. There are more and more farmers using modern equipment to raise chickens, so let's take a look at its characteristics.

• Reduce manpower and reduce breeding costs. Use automatic layer cages to raise chickens. All equipment can work automatically. In this way, the farmers can save labor costs. The use of mechanized equipment increases labor productivity and reduces labor costs.

• The automatic egg collection system can collect eggs efficiently. Its use will not only reduce the breakage rate of eggs, but also reduce labor costs.

• It is easy to manage and reduce the risk of breeding. The use of automatic chicken farming equipment can ensure the environment of the chicken house. For example: automatic manure removal system regularly cleans manure. The chicken manure is cleaned out in time to provide a good environment for the growth of chickens.

• Conducive to disease prevention work. The use of modern equipment for breeding reduces the mobile contact of staff in the chicken coop, which is conducive to the prevention and control of chicken diseases.

In the process of raising chickens in automated layer cages, the comprehensiveness of feed nutrients is the basis for improving the high yield of layer hens. Sometimes the egg shell becomes thin and easy to break, and the color varies from light to dark. It means that the laying hens are lacking in calcium.

The first layer lacks calcium content in the feed. Farmers should know that calcium is an essential nutrient substance for laying hens to grow and lay eggs. It should be adjusted according to the growth of the laying hens and the laying situation. Therefore, farmers should pay attention to calcium supplementation for laying hens.

The nutrients of calcium and phosphorus in the feed are not balanced. Farmers should pay attention to whether the nutrients in the breeding are balanced. Too much phosphorus will affect the absorption of calcium. Calcium and phosphorus affect the strength of the eggshell.

Long-term cage breeding and lack of light: Most farmers now use the method of raising chickens in layer cages to raise layer hens. Most of the chicken houses are closed, so the layer chickens cannot get effective light. Farmers need to purchase lighting equipment for artificial lighting. But if the farmers do not perform the proper order, it will affect the absorption of calcium in the laying hens. At the same time, when the supplemented concentrate calcium is less, there will be a lack of calcium.

The above are the several reasons why layer cage manufacturers have summarized the calcium deficiency of layers for farmers. I hope that the above description can bring some help to farmers.

The most important thing in laying hens is the egg production rate. 60 years ago, the social demand for eggs increased rapidly, and the high mortality of free-range chickens and chickens could not meet the needs of the society. So the trend of using battery chicken cages for laying hens to breed chicken began.

With the advancement of technology, automatic chicken raising equipment is now very popular. Modern chicken cage systems in use today are clean, automated and efficient. Modern sheds include automatic feeding, drinking, climate control maintained at 23°C, ventilation, lighting, and manure and egg collection. This efficient system allows farmers to optimize conditions for bird health and produce eggs at relatively low cost.

In addition, the use of laying hen cages allows chickens to be well protected, not only to avoid the invasion of animals, but also to avoid the invasion of pathogens.

The length of the battery chicken cages is generally 1,800 square centimeters to 11,000 square centimeters. Chickens can move freely, drink water and eat in this space. Because the trough is next to the iron mesh of the chicken cage. And there are two drinking nipples in a chicken cage, which can supply sufficient water for chickens at any time.

Layer cages are sometimes referred to as battery hen cages. Because parallel rows in poultry cages using automated chicken equipment look a bit like rows of batteries within a battery. Over the years, caged egg farming has attracted the approval of most poultry farmers. The hens are well cared for in the chicken coop, and can achieve free drinking water, eating, and a good living environment brought by the automated manure removal system and automated environmental control system.

The technology of raising chickens in modern poultry cages is very mature. Its convenience is also recognized by many poultry farmers. If you are also interested or want to know more about automated chicken raising equipment, please follow me.
