How to do a good job in the management of chicken coops in autumn

After the chicken has passed the hot summer. Physical fitness has declined. After autumn. The weather gradually became cooler. It is necessary to gradually increase the feed intake and egg production of the laying hens. At this time, strengthening feeding management is conducive to the recovery of laying hens. Improve the economic benefits of breeding laying hens.

 

In order to ensure higher egg production performance and better benefits for layer cages, the following measures need to be taken.

 

Adjust the flock. In autumn, old chickens begin to change feathers, and new chickens begin to lay eggs. This is a good season to adjust the flock. Farmers can adjust and appraise the chickens in a planned way. Leave chickens with good production performance, strong system and normal egg production.

 

Reduce the impact of climate change and add light. Farmers must ensure that the microclimate in the chicken coop does not change too much. Reduce the temperature difference between day and night. After the fall, the time of natural light is gradually shortened. During laying hens, light should be supplemented moderately. The most suitable temperature for laying hens is 13-24°C. The relative humidity is 50% to 75%. Too high and too low will reduce the egg production rate of the chicken.

 

Do a good job in autumn epidemic prevention. In early autumn, there is a lot of rain and humidity, the weather is sultry, and the house is humid. Chickens are prone to respiratory and intestinal infectious diseases. Therefore, strengthening sanitation and epidemic prevention is another important link to ensure high and stable production of laying hens

Strengthen ventilation.

 Open doors and windows during the day, increase ventilation, and properly ventilate at night to reduce temperature and humidity, which is conducive to the heat dissipation of the chicken body, reduces the water content in the chicken manure, and reduces the conditions for chicken manure digestion in the chicken house: Frequent cleaning, food troughs, water troughs and other utensils should be disinfected regularly to reduce the incidence of chicken diseases.

 Vaccine prevention

 Combined with autumn prevention, vaccinate chickens and get rid of internal parasites (especially roundworms and tapeworms). During the deworming of chickens, the feces of the chickens should be removed in time and accumulated and fermented to kill the eggs.

 Observe frequently

 Pay attention to the chicken's spirit, feeding, movement, defecation, etc., and isolate and treat sick chickens in time to prevent spread.

 

In order to better manage chicken flocks, farmers can purchase automatic chicken farming equipment to achieve intensive chicken breeding. Better management of chicken coops.
