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.

  •  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.

With the advancement of economic development technology, people no longer use the traditional way of raising chickens. The use of laying hens to raise chickens can improve work efficiency and reduce labor intensity. What problems need to be regulated by laying chickens with poultry cages for sale ?

First. Disinfection is an effective method to ensure the hygiene and safety of chicken houses. Correct and reasonable disinfection can kill the pathogenic microorganisms in the chicken house in time, but many farmers do not pay attention to disinfection or disinfect according to the formal operation procedures. As a result, disinfection has no effect, and the house has poor sanitary conditions and increased disease.

Second, immunization is an effective method to prevent infectious diseases of chicken flocks. However, the vaccine operation of many farmers is not standardized, which will lead to the failure of flock immunity, which not only increases the cost, but also has not achieved good results.

Third, when raising chickens, there will be many chicken farms around the chicken house. Sometimes they will go to other chicken houses to see each other, but this is not good. Going to other chicken houses is not safe, so it will The bacteria are brought to their own chicken house to bring disease to the chicken.

Fourth, because the weather changes in the four seasons are relatively large, we must do a good job of preventive measures for weather changes, but now many farmers do not take active preventive measures when encountering sudden changes in weather or other stress factors, causing chickens to become sick. If the weather is cold, warm measures should be taken; if the weather gets hot, take measures to reduce the temperature and pay attention to ventilation.

Fifth. Save the chicken feed to avoid mold. If the chicken eats, it will be sick. At the same time, it should also be noted that the chicken feed should not be replaced at will, so as to prevent the chicken from adapting and causing the chicken to become sick.

Now most farms have widely used layer battery cages to raise chickens, and automatic chicken raising equipment has become an indispensable chicken raising equipment for the majority of chicken farmers. In recent years, the market demand for laying hens has not expanded. In order to improve breeding efficiency, Raising chickens in layer cages has become a trend, so what are the advantages of raising chickens in layer cages?

 

 

  1. High level of automation: automatic feeding, drinking water, cleaning manure, wet curtain cooling, centralized management, automatic control, saving energy, reducing artificial feeding costs, greatly improving the breeding efficiency of farmers.
  2. Poultry prevention is good and effective prevention: the chicken does not touch the feces, which can make the chicken grow more vigorously and provide a clean and warm growth environment for the chicken, and the slaughter time is much earlier.
  3. Save the space and improve the stocking density: the cage density is more than 3 times higher than that of the flat stocking density.
  4. Frugal breeding feed: egg hencages can save a lot of breeding feed. Chickens are kept in cages, so the amount of exercise is reduced, the energy consumption is low, and the waste of feed is reduced. The materials indicate that cage breeding can effectively save more than 25% of breeding costs.
  5. Consolidation and durability: The complete set of caged chicken equipment uses hot-dip galvanizing technology, which is corrosion-resistant and aging-resistant, and its service life can be as long as 15-20 years.

       6.Time saving: It is convenient for breeding users to manage chickens and save more time to deal with other things.

Suggestions for building a chicken house

The chicken house has two types: open house (common house) and closed house.

The common form of open house is that there are walls on all sides, large windows on the south wall and small windows on the north wall. All or most of these houses are naturally ventilated and naturally lit, and the temperature and humidity in the house vary substantially with the seasons. Ventilation and lighting equipment is often required in this type of house to supplement the lack of ventilation and lighting under natural conditions.

Closed house is also known as a windowless house. The roof of the chicken house is well insulated from the four walls, and there is no window on all sides. The interior environment is adjusted by manual or instrument control. Artificial ventilation and light are used in the house to control the temperature, humidity and air composition of the house by changing the amount of ventilation.

So what are the structural requirements of the various parts of the house?

The foundation should be deep and strong. The floor of the chicken house should be 20~30 cm higher than the outside, moisture-proof, flat, easy to clean and disinfect.

The material with good thermal insulation effect is selected, and the heat insulation performance is good, which can protect poultry farming equipment.

Roof: In addition to the single-sloping roof of the chicken house with a small span, the double-slope type is generally used.

Prevent chicken from stress response


Chickens are also avoided stress reactions occur in Poultry Equipment for Sale. There are many reasons for the stress response of laying hens. Poor management in all aspects may cause stress. Stress seriously affects the healthy growth and laying of laying hens. Affect the economic benefits of the farmers, so in the process of breeding, farmers must pay more attention to avoid the stress response of the flock

There are many reasons for the stress response of laying hens. If the nutrients are not balanced in the feeds that are usually fed, the mildew of the feed will affect the feeding and absorption functions of the broilers and then physiologically appear to have a stress response. In addition, if the temperature of the house is too high or too low, or the ventilation is unscientific, the drinking water in the external environment such as noise will also cause stress. So how do you prevent a stress reaction?

1, Firstly, from the growth characteristics of laying hens, provide a good, quiet and comfortable growing environment for the laying hens, control of temperature and humidity, and management of ventilation should be scientific and reasonable, avoiding the humidity in the chicken house caused by poor ventilation. And air pollution, etc., to avoid the stress of environmental failure.

2, to ensure the stability of feeding throughout the breeding process, such as laying water, feeding, disinfection and other environments, must be in order, time is regular, farmers must pay attention to must not be cut off, lack of material.

3, In the breeding process, it is necessary to control the environment of the chicken house, such as fixing the time of the switch light, doing the cooling work in the summer, and keeping warm in the winter to prevent the adverse effects of high and low temperature on the laying hen. 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 certain stage. There must be a transitional stage in the process of changing the feed, so as to ensure the smooth adaptation of the broilers.
