Learning these four points allows you to buy high-quality poultry layer cages
Poultry farmers are now developing rapidly, and poultry layer cages have also been widely recognized by poultry farmers. The use of modern chicken cages for poultry breeding requires not only scientific breeding methods, but also the ability to purchase poultry farming equipment.
First of all, the material of the cage must be judged. If farmers want to make chickens have a suitable living environment, they must first ensure the strength and toughness of the cages. The cages can be restored when they are deformed when they are held by hands. This cage is suitable for the life of the chickens and will not be caused by the cage. It is hard and causes pectoral bursitis in chickens.
Second, ask the poultry farmer what preservative method is used for the chicken cage mesh. Then observe whether the surface of the chicken coop is smooth and whether the gloss is good. Generally, the surface of the cage made by hot-dip galvanizing process is relatively smooth and will not cause scratches to the chickens, and the gloss of the cage is also good, and it looks beautiful and generous. The most important thing is that the battery layer cages processed by hot-dip galvanizing are corrosion resistant, will not rust, and have a long service life.
The third chicken cage chassis setting skills. Since laying hens will lay eggs during the breeding process, farmers should pay attention to the wire spacing of the cage and the inclined surface of the chassis when purchasing cages. In order to ensure that the eggs can roll out smoothly without cracking, it is generally The wire distance is about 1.5 cm, and the slope of the chassis is 7-8 degrees.
The most important thing is to choose a regular poultry cage manufacturer. The most important point is that when purchasing cages, farmers must go to a regular large manufacturer to purchase, because the process of production equipment of large manufacturers is strictly inspected, and the price of products directly sold by the manufacturer will be higher than the price of the equipment in the hands of the agent. Low. This not only guarantees the quality of the purchased products, but also saves a lot of purchase funds.
Reasons for low laying rate of laying hens
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.
Secrets of raising chicken management in winter
In the process of raising chickens, in addition to selecting reliable poultry equipment manufacturers. Experts believe that strengthening winter management is an important part of increasing egg production rate. Now let's talk about the management of chicken raising in winter.
In winter, the temperature is low, and the chicken consumes a lot of heat, so it is necessary to eat more feed. When the room temperature is lower than -5 °C, the chickens gather in a group, do not like activities, walk slowly, and the laying hens will also stop production. Below -10 ° C, the cockscomb will freeze. Other feeding and management conditions remain unchanged. If the room temperature can be raised to about 10 °C, the egg production rate can be increased. However, the room temperature is too high, and when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is very different, it is easy to cause a cold when the chicken is placed outside.
Therefore, the most suitable temperature in the room should be controlled at about 5 °C, so that the drinking water does not freeze, the chicken can disperse the activity, and the normal egg production is maintained. The method of heat preservation mainly makes the house tight, and there is no place for ventilation. It can also be densely fed and a windproof fence on the outside of the house and the playground. Thus, when the outdoor temperature is not lower than -30 ° C, the night temperature in the house can be maintained at 2 ° C - 3 ° C, 5 ° C - 7 ° C during the day, without burning fire for temperature. In areas where temperature is required, a fire wall can be built in the house to balance the temperature.
In winter, it is also important to keep the air fresh inside the house. Otherwise, due to lack of oxygen, it will affect the metabolism of the chicken and the egg production rate will decrease. Therefore, the vent should be opened frequently during the day. When the sun is sunny and the climate is warm, you can open the small window and then open the big window for ventilation. If the outdoor temperature is around 0 °C, the chicken can also be released from the house.
In winter, it is mainly based on house feeding, it is easy to accumulate manure, and the humidity in the house is high, which affects the health of the flock and the quality of the eggs. In order to keep the ground dry, a small amount of lime can be smeared when changing the grass.
In winter, not only should you pay attention to adequate nutrition, but also with a high-calorie grain feed. Long winter nights can increase the amount of feed when feeding the last pellets.
Drinking water should be kept warm, especially if you drink warm water in the morning to promote warming and promote exercise. In order to make the chickens exercise more, you can often feed the pellets in the sports field, or hang cabbage, radish, etc., so that the chickens can eat freely and run more. Conditional can be installed in the house to increase the light, one to warm, and the other to stimulate activities to promote egg production. Generally, the time between artificial lighting and daylighting is not less than 13 hours - 14 hours. Every other week, one-thousandth of potassium permanganate water is supplied in the morning, which can prevent chicken stomach and cornea from being ulcerated, and improve the rate of love and hatching.
How to Manage Laying Hens Near egg Production Peak?
For chicken farmers, the peak period of egg production will always be encountered at some stage of the year. Under normal circumstances, laying hens begin their pre-production period from the age of 16 weeks, and enter the peak of laying eggs at the age of 25 weeks. Whether the feeding and management status during the peak period of laying hens meets the requirements of chicken growth and egg production will have a great influence on the egg production during the entire production period. Therefore, for chicken farmers, it is very important to manage the layer chickens during production.
It is advisable to complete the laying of the laying hens before the age of 18 weeks in order to make the chickens familiar with the environment as soon as possible. In order to adapt to the increase of chicken body weight, growth of the reproductive system and the demand for calcium, the laying hens can be fed at the age of 18 weeks and the culmination at the age of 20 weeks. The most suitable temperature for laying hens is 13°C～23°C. In winter, it is better to keep above 10°C. In summer, it is better to keep below 30°C. Maintain indoor air circulation and prevent various noises. Keep the environment and feeding, drinking, lighting and other stability.
The main points of the environmental temperature control of the battery layer hen cages
The right temperature of the chicken house can exert greater production potential for chickens. The quality of environmental control directly affects the success of breeding. Therefore, temperature control is an important factor in feeding. The following chicken breeding equipment manufacturers explain the main points of chicken house temperature control.
In the environmental control of the layer hen chicken house, the layer chicken can obtain a higher survival rate, weight gain speed and feed remuneration in the above-mentioned suitable temperature environment. Whether the specific temperature of each brooding is appropriate or not is determined by the dynamic performance of the chicks:
When the temperature is appropriate, the chicks are evenly distributed indoors, lively, with smooth feathers, and close to the body surface. They are relatively quiet during sleep and scramble to eat.
When the temperature is too low, the chicks will show low temperature performance. The chicks will be crowded near the heat source or in a certain corner, their feathers will be fluffy, the spirit will be wilted, and they will make continuous calls. This way for a long time, it is easy to cause the chicks to catch a cold or be crushed to death. It must be heated immediately and the crowded chicks must be dispersed.
When the temperature is too high, the chicks stay away from the heat source, spread their wings and lie down, panting, and rush to drink water. There is often no water in the drinking fountain, but the fluff is wet. Over time, the physique of the chicks will be weakened, growth will be hindered, and even heat death will be caused. When the temperature is too high, the temperature should be gradually lowered, but be aware that a sudden drop in temperature can cause a cold.
Therefore, attention must be paid to the temperature control of the chicken house during the entire feeding period of the laying hens. A thermometer can be placed in an appropriate place in the house for observation, and certain measures can be taken to cool down or adjust the temperature. In the hot season, when the temperature in the chicken house is high, you can open the doors, windows and vents, turn on the fan or exhaust fan, increase the ventilation in the house, and lower the temperature in the house. When necessary, cold water can be sprayed on the ground or sprayed on the roof to cool down.
The use of poultry battery layer hen cages to raise chickens requires more attention to the living environment of the chickens in the hen house. Provide a suitable temperature environment for the chickens so that they can grow healthier.
Maintenance and maintenance of automatic layer breeding equipment
If a breeding farm wants to be industrialized, large-scale breeding is inseparable from automatic layer breeding machinery and equipment. Automatic layer breeding machinery and equipment are good assistants to assist layer farmers in the breeding work. Nowadays, the chicken breeding equipment is very good. Mechanical automation can be applied for a long time. This requires farms to carry out timely maintenance and maintenance of machinery and equipment, so as to ensure that all machinery and equipment can be maintained for the long-term normal work of the farm. The working efficiency of the chicken farm is the maintenance and maintenance of the following automatic layer breeding machinery and equipment.
The key of automatic layer breeding machinery and equipment includes: automatic manure cleaning machine, automatic feeding machine, automatic egg picking machine, each of which will describe the key points of maintenance of machinery and equipment.
1. Automatic manure cleaning machine: After the farm has applied the manure cleaning machine for a period of time, the manure removal belt will increase and increase the slack. Maintenance of rolling bearings and rubber sticks. Rolling bearings should be added with unsalted butter on time. The glue sticks should be kept tight and not loose. In addition, many farms have a roll-up of manure removal opportunities. Farms will remove manure belts in passive rolling. The position of the barrel can be leveled.
2. Automatic feeder: When the feeder is in use, the farm must pay attention to the fact that no items can be placed on the feeder, otherwise it will cause the motor to withstand too much force and burn the motor. The application of the feeder Make sure that the transmission chain and gears have a certain level of lubrication, otherwise the lack of lubrication will destroy the equipment. The farm should pay attention to regular maintenance. The feeder is mainly produced by skin to transport concentrated feed, so the farm should be maintained regularly Is the transmission belt intact? Is the level of tightness moderate? The control cabinet of the feeder will have a lot of dust due to dust caused by the concentrate. In the long term, it will cause short-circuit failure of the internal power circuit. The farm should carry out the removal on time.
3. Fully automatic egg picker: When the farm uses an automatic egg picker, it is necessary to pay attention to the detailed learning and training of the appropriate operation steps of the machine equipment. If the wrong operation is very easy to cause damage to the machine and equipment, use the egg picker After that, you must pay attention to frequent disinfection and sterilization, because some chicken excrement, feather dusters and other items containing pathogens are inevitably left in the whole process of application of machinery and equipment. If you have been using a machine that carries pathogens and does not often clean up If the equipment is available, the quality of the eggs will be reduced.
How to make chicken feed not wasted?
Chickens in chicken poultry farming equipment have different nutrients in different stages of growth, so the amount of feed they feed must be accurately controlled. Scientific feed feeding measures can also reduce the cost of raising chickens and maximize the profit of raising chickens.
Poultry farming, according to the different growth stages of chickens, taking accurate feeding control measures is an important part of raising chickens. It is well known that 80% of the cost of poultry farming is the cost of feed, no waste, precise control can be used for poultry farming. The benefits are maximized. The breeds commonly raised by chicken farmers are laying hens and broilers. Today we will control the feeding of these two kinds of chickens.
Feeding of laying hens:
Egg-type chicks need about 15 kg of concentrate in the 5 months of growth. After they become real laying hens, they must accurately control the amount of feed. According to the laying level and laying period of laying hens, The specific feed amount is controlled in stages, 40% of which is green feed, and the rest is divided according to the situation.
Broiler feeding:
Compared with the laying hens, the meat-type chickens are the chickens themselves, and the laying of the chickens is the deputy. In the growth stage of the carnivorous chickens, the concentrate needs about 18 kg, and the subsequent feeding ingredients are mostly protein and feed ingredients. The feed is centered, others are second, and reasonable arrangements, there is no specific amount here, as long as one purpose, the chicken can not eat.
In the process of growing the chicken, there are also restrictions on feeding, that is, inhibiting the growth and development of the chicken, delaying the maturity of the chicken, thereby controlling the chicken's egg production, body weight, egg weight and other data, so as to maximize the benefits. Use full-price compound feed to improve feed absorption and utilization. The nutrient composition of the diet is not comprehensive, and it is undoubtedly the biggest and less noticeable waste to increase the feed intake. The scientific formula must be used to formulate the feed according to the physiological characteristics and growth and development of the chicken.
Feed crushing should not be too fine. Too fine feed is neither suitable for feeding nor dust, resulting in waste of feed. Improve the trough to prevent feed waste. Provide a well-structured trough according to the age of the chicken. Try not to let the chicken enter the trough, and at the same time, let the chicken out of the trough. Improve the feeding method and feed less. The amount of feed should not exceed one third of the depth of the trough. Both the chickens are full and there is no leftover in the tank.
Pay attention to save. Prevent the mold from becoming mildewed, pests, rain and direct sunlight. Timely elimination of low-yielding chickens, discontinued chickens and older chickens in poultry farming cage equipment.
Attention Chicken Farming Points in Summer
- Do not mix the feed water with porridge-like chicken. Thinners tend to dilute the digestive juices and reduce the activity of various digestive enzymes, resulting in incomplete feed digestion, poor nutrient absorption, and even indigestion, which greatly reduces feed utilization. Chickens are also prone to fat deposits because of their thinner skin, and their subcutaneous fat is too thick to cater to consumer preferences.
- Try to use a free drinking fountain, or plastic cover drinking fountains, such as the use of plastic cover drinking fountains best hanging up, to the chicken can drink water is appropriate to ensure that the chicken has sufficient clean drinking water.
- When the weather is hot, it can be fed in the morning and in the evening and it can improve the feed intake of chickens. Wet material can be used at noon, and the ratio of material to water is suitable for 1:0.5-2. The degree of opening is better. Generally, feeding dry materials in the morning and feeding wet materials at noon can stimulate chickens to eat more food.
- When your chickens run into high temperature, you can add glucose and vitamin C to your drinking water, which can increase the energy lost due to lack of feed intake. It can also enhance the chicken's physique and anti-stress ability. It also has certain auxiliary treatment effects on high fever.

Breeding equipment manufacturers share prevention and control measures for laying hens
There are more and more farmers raising hens, and they are all using battery cage for chickens and breeding equipment to raise chickens. How should the hens prevent the stress reaction in the chicken cage and Poultry Rearing Equipment? Here are some suggestions.
1. Farmers should start from the growth characteristics of laying hens to provide a good, quiet and comfortable growing environment for the laying hens. The control of temperature and humidity, as well as the management of ventilation should be scientific and reasonable, avoiding the sheds caused by poor ventilation. Moisture and air pollution, etc., to avoid the stress of environmental failure.
2. Farmers must ensure that the stability of feeding during the whole breeding process, such as laying water, feeding, disinfection and other environments, must be in order, time is regular, farmers should pay attention to not being able to break water, lack of materials .
3. During the breeding process, the farmers should control the environment of the chicken house, such as fixing the time of the switch lights, cooling the work in the summer, keeping warm in the winter, and preventing the adverse effects of high and low temperature on the laying hens. In the autumn when the temperature changes greatly, timely prevention and control measures should be taken. In the rainy season, work to prevent storms is also needed.
4. In the farm where the laying hens are raised, the farmers should be careful not to yell and scream, and pay attention to the chicken houses not to be built in noisy places.
5. The feed ingredients required for different growth stages of laying hens are different. Therefore, the farmers must change the feed at a fixed stage, and there must be a transitional stage in the process of replacing the feed, so as to ensure the smooth adaptation of the chicken.
Tell you why you choose an automated layer cage from six aspects
With the development of the breeding industry, automatic layer chicken cages are now essential chicken breeding equipment for farmers. What are the benefits of using chicken cages to raise chickens? Let's discuss it today.
1.High degree of automation. Active feeding, drinking water, cleaning manure, wet curtain device. The use of this type of equipment to centrally manage the chicken coop can greatly improve the efficiency of breeding.
2.Conducive to the epidemic prevention work. Because the automatic manure removal systemmakes the chickens inaccessible to manure. This will make the chicken grow stronger. It also provides a clean and warm development space for chickens.
3.Save breeding feed. The use of stacked layer cages can greatly reduce the breeding feed. Because chickens grow in cages, their activity is reduced. The chicken's body consumes less energy, which leads to less feed waste.
4.The chicken coop is stable and durable. Hot-dip galvanizing technology is now used in automated breeding equipment. Make the equipment use longer, and it is also resistant to corrosion and oxidation. The service life can reach 15-20 years.
5.Save time. Because of the high degree of automation of modern chicken farming equipment, it is more conducive for farmers to manage the chicken coop and save time for other tasks.
