Layer Chicken Farms - Poultry Farming Strategies of Layers and Broilers

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.

Why Chicken immune failure

When we raise chickens in poultry farming equipment, it is common to vaccinate chickens to prevent disease, but sometimes it is still vaccinated. Why is this?

The first is that immunization is unscientific. The time of inoculation is not appropriate. Therefore, there is an inaccurate possibility of immune effect.

The second is that no antibody detection is performed. If the flock is in a special period, it is prone to immune failure without antibody testing.

The third is that the dose used for the vaccine is not accurate. It is not good for chickens to use large doses of vaccines.and is to cause adverse reactions after inoculation.

 

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.

About the layer battery cage feeding mode

Under the development of breeding automation, the layer battery cage breeding mode has been widely recognized by the majority of layer farms. This breeding method has a small area and high space utilization. The layered cleaning of chicken manure can not only improve the utilization rate of chicken manure, but also It also reduces the degree of environmental pollution. At the same time, labor intensity is reduced and productivity is improved. Although stacked cages have many advantages, the premise is to know how to use them and how to manage them.

 

 

 

Due to the inconvenience of layer battery cages, it is inconvenient to catch the chickens. The laying time for laying hens can be appropriately extended. Vaccines that require immunity, such as Newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, avian influenza, and egg drop syndrome, should be completely immunized before being basketed. over. When the egg production rate reaches 5%, the prenatal feed should be replaced with peak feed. The refueling will take one week for the transition. At this time, the feed should maintain high quality and stable nutritional content, and do not change the finished feed and raw materials at will.

 

 

In addition to the conventional power system, a generator that matches the chicken farm must be required and can be automatically switched. To ensure uniform light in the house, light bulbs can be installed on a staggered level or row of lights can be used. In order to ensure the service life of the equipment, lubricate the transmission parts such as the transmission sprocket and gears of the transmission box once a month when in use. Clean the surface of the egg roller and fecal roller in time. Clean up the impurities in the soft and broken egg collection tray in time. The ventilation system should be adjusted appropriately for side wall ventilation and roof ventilation according to the different seasons. Always keep the lighting bulb clean to prevent affecting the light intensity.

Daily maintenance of layer cages

The inside and outside of the layer cages should be clean and tidy. Ensure that all sliding surfaces, lead screws, racks, gear boxes, oil holes, etc. are free from oil, oil and air leakage at all parts, and chips, debris, and dirt around the equipment Clean up; tools, accessories, workpieces (products) should be placed neatly, pipes and lines should be organized; good lubrication, add oil or change oil on time, keep oiling, no dry friction, oil pressure is normal, oil mark is bright, oil path is unobstructed, oily The quality meets the requirements, the grease gun, the grease cup, and the linoleum are clean; follow the safe operation regulations, do not overload the equipment, and the equipment safety protection device is complete and reliable, and the unsafe factors are eliminated in time.

The daily maintenance of layer battery cages 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 should be established and assessed according to the quotas. The regular maintenance of equipment should be included in the assessment content of the workshop contract responsibility system. Periodic inspection of equipment is a planned preventive inspection. In addition to human senses, there must be certain inspection tools and instruments, which are carried out according to the periodic inspection card. Regular inspections are also called periodic inspections. The accuracy of the mechanical equipment should also be checked to determine the degree of actual accuracy of the equipment.

 

 

The maintenance of the poultry battery hen cages should be carried out in accordance with the maintenance procedures. Equipment maintenance procedures are requirements and regulations for the daily maintenance of equipment. Adhering to the equipment maintenance procedures can extend the service life of the equipment and ensure a safe and comfortable working environment. Its main content should include:

  1. The equipment should be neat, clean, firm, lubricated, anti-corrosive, safe, etc. The operation content, operation method, tools and materials used, reached standards and precautions;
  2. The parts, methods and standards for daily inspection, maintenance and regular inspection;
  3. Check and evaluate the content and methods of the degree of equipment maintenance by the operators.

 

Farmers are in the daily process of raising chickens. There are some broken eggs caused by careless management. Eggs are affected by the health of the chicken, and the hardness of the eggshell will also vary due to the health and quality of the chicken flock. Here are some methods for farmers to prevent egg breakage.

 

After laying hens begin to lay eggs, they increase with age. The surface of the egg will also increase. The strength of the eggshell is reduced. Therefore, the older the laying age, the higher the breakage rate. In laying hen cages, the higher the egg breakage rate of standing or squatting laying hens is lower. Laying hens lying prone or squatting have lower egg breakage rates.

 

Laying hens lack the light required to absorb calcium at night, and the eggshells formed are thinner. Therefore, the breakage rate of eggs laid in the afternoon is lower than that of eggs laid in the morning. The health of the chicken also affects the quality of the eggs. Many diseases have an impact on the quality of eggshells. Such as infectious bronchitis, etc. will make the egg structure abnormal, irregular shape, and increase the egg breakage rate.

 

 

Among the nutrition, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D have a greater impact on the quality of eggshells. Under normal circumstances, the amount of calcium required in the diet of laying hens should be 2.7-3.75%. This is 3-4 times larger than the 0.9% calcium requirement of non-laying hens. The phosphorus requirement of the laying hen's diet should be 0.5%. Vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Such as in the absence of vitamin D. Even if the laying hens are fed rich calcium and phosphorus, they will produce soft-shelled eggs.

 

Environmental changes and the temperature of the chicken house have a greater impact on the eggshell. The higher the shelf temperature, the more broken the eggs. In summer, the eggshells of eggs laid by chickens are usually about 5% thinner than eggs in other seasons. This is mainly because high temperature will reduce the feed intake of chickens, and the intake of calcium will be reduced accordingly. In addition, in a high-temperature environment, if the relative humidity is high, the heat dissipation of the chicken is not good, and the egg will be damaged even more.

 

Farmers can purchase automated chicken raising equipment. It contains an automatic egg collection system. The chicken coop has a slightly inclined angle. After the laying hen lays the egg. The eggs roll along the conveyor belt. This reduces the egg breakage rate.
