The use of chicken cages to raise chickens is a popular chicken raising method in the chicken industry. The chicken cages are raised in a multi-layer cage. The breeding density is large and the number is large. It is very popular among farmers, using chicken cages to raise chickens, and which are Need to pay attention to the chickens to pay attention to the matter, only pay attention to all aspects of feeding points, scientific and reasonable breeding can be able to raise the higher yield of the chickens, the following authors to tell the majority of farmers to use the chicken battery cages in spring Chicken's precautions.

1. Humidity

Relative humidity is preferably 60% to 70%. Higher humidity is beneficial to the survival and reproduction of microorganisms. If accompanied by low temperature, it will increase the risk of low temperature. When the humidity is low, the chicken house is dry, which is easy to induce respiratory diseases of the chicken. Especially when the chicken is in a dry environment for a long time, it may cause dehydration and weakness. Therefore, we must pay attention to the adjustment of the humidity of the house. In winter, the litter is relatively dry and should be sprinkled or spray disinfected frequently.

2. Temperature

The suitable temperature for laying hens is about 20 °C, and the minimum should not be lower than 13 °C. If the temperature inside the house is not up to the required temperature and the temperature difference is too large, it is necessary to manually increase the temperature and keep it as relatively stable as possible.
 
3. Harmful gas

The most harmful gas to chickens is ammonia, which stimulates the sensory organs of chickens, induces respiratory diseases, and reduces feed efficiency. When you enter the house, you can smell the smell of ammonia, indicating that the ammonia in the house has already exceeded the standard. Chicken houses that are warmed by coal stoves should be protected against carbon monoxide poisoning. When the harmful gas is excessive, take appropriate measures immediately, such as increasing the ventilation volume and changing the litter, so as to reduce and eliminate the harm to chickens.

4. Ventilation

When the air in the morning is relatively dirty, if it is necessary to increase the ventilation, it should be gradually increased. It is best to carry out at a high temperature at noon. It is better to use a shorter ventilation time and multiple passes. If the chicken is found to be disease-free, snoring and breathing, the dust in the house is full and the odor is very strong, indicating that the air in the house is extremely dirty, and ventilation should be strengthened immediately. However, to prevent thieves, it is common to install elbow-type ventilation on the leeward wall to prevent the chickens from being directly exposed to the wind.

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.

First of all, chicken can obtain higher economic benefits. Self-made feeds: At present, the prices of commercial compound feeds produced by the feed processing sector are relatively high. Farmers may purchase full set of chicken In order to reduce costs, it is best for farmers and chicken farmers to feed their own chicken. Use local produce or self-cultivated food and other agricultural and sideline products for food preparation and try to be as comprehensive as possible.

Secondly, purchase of finished feed and then re-preparation: In order to spend less to feed, you can buy a lower price of compound feed. However, due to its poor quality, in order to ensure the nutritional needs of chicken, you can add some homemade soybean cake, cottonseed cake, peanut cake and so on. You can also purchase more fish meal, blood meal, bone meal, amino acid, and other additives, and feed it evenly with the feed.

Thirdly, as the season changes, the feed intake of chickens will also change. In summer and autumn, where the temperature is higher, the feed intake of the chicken is reduced, and the protein feed and amino acid content of the diet should be appropriately increased. When the winter chickens are in season, the food intake will increase, the protein feed and amino acids in the diet should be reduced appropriately, and the amount of roughage should be increased appropriately to save costs.

With the increasing number of large-scale chicken farms, it is more contradictory for chicken farms to choose automated poultry cages for equipment, and they do not know how to choose. The following poultry equipment manufacturers will introduce to you how to make decisions on the selection of equipment for your reference

A Type Layer Cages

The laying hen equipment is a type A chicken coop. You can choose to install two types of manure cleaning: scraper cleaning and belt cleaning. It is a relatively early use of laying hen breeding equipment. If your coop can hold 5000-30000 birds. A-type battery layer cages are very suitable.

Advantage:

1. The cost is low, and the breeding density is higher than that of flat breeding.
2. The open area of each layer of chicken coop is large, even if it is an open chicken house, the ventilation effect is good.
3. Reasonable design, easy to operate,
4. Easy maintenance and long service life.
5. The easy-to-open spring-loaded door makes it easy to observe and move the pullets.

Shortcoming:

1. The area is relatively large, and the space utilization rate is low compared with the H-type chicken cages;
2. The labor intensity of workers is high;
3. The chicken manure on the upper tierof the chicken cage will fall to the chickens on the lower tier, which is not conducive to the health of the chickens and the integrity of the feathers.

H Type Poultry Cages

Chicken cages are tiered on top of each other like buildings. This kind of equipment was developed later, due to the increasing shortage of land resources, less and less land can be used for breeding. Therefore, more and more customers increase the stocking density, just to save land, and the degree of intensification is getting higher and higher.

Advantage: 

1. Vertically battery chicken cages save more floor space, increase the number of feeding, reduce labor and management costs, and ultimately bring considerable profits to chicken farmers.
2. There is a manure removal belt at the bottom of each cage, which is clean and hygienic, allowing the chickens to grow healthily and less pollution to the environment.
3. Small footprint, high space utilization, easy to achieve intensive and large-scale breeding;
4. Sliding cage door, the opening is convenient and large, and it is easier to catch chickens.

Shortcoming:

1. It adopts closed type and automatic temperature control, otherwise it is difficult to control the temperature inside the chicken house.
2. There are at least tens of thousands of chickens in a chicken house, and the risk factor is relatively high.

Based on the above situation, I believe everyone knows how to choose. The chicken farmer still choose the equipment that suits them according to their total amount of laying hens and investment.
