Poultry farming has become a popular poultry farming project in recent years. Developing poultry farming requires steps such as building a chicken house, buy battery cage system, and purchasing chickens. Money is needed everywhere, so today we will talk about how to save money.

1. Feeding should be appropriate. According to statistics, when feed is added to 1/3 of the trough, the waste rate is at least 2%. Many poultry farmers want to let their chickens eat more feed, so they put the feed in 2/3 of the trough. The waste rate of this feed is as high as 12%.
2. Prompt beak trimming. The chicks are beaked at 6-9 days of age to prevent picky eating and hooking and throwing of feed when feeding, so as to reduce feed waste. Improve brooding rate, good group life, easy to manage.
3. Buy battery cage for poultry. Now poultry cages are used in various countries. It can improve the efficiency of poultry breeding and save space. And the purchase of high-quality poultry farming equipment can be used for 20 years. Friends who want to use a battery cage can choose an experienced chicken cage manufacturers to buy it.
4. The feed ratio is reasonable and the nutrients are balanced. Chickens cannot absorb nutrients from the feed indefinitely. If the feed mix is unreasonable, too much nutrition can only be wasted; if the feed is too coarse, the feed of different particle sizes will be quickly excreted after being eaten by the chickens. cause waste. Therefore, the full-stage feed should be used reasonably, such as self-compounding, which should be formulated in strict accordance with the standard.
5. The temperature of the chicken house should be suitable. When the temperature is too low in winter, chickens need to increase the heat by increasing the feed intake, and the feed loss is about 10%, which will cause waste. Therefore, it is also very important to be warm in winter and cool in summer.
6. Scientifically store feed. Especially in summer and autumn, the feed is susceptible to moisture and mold or deterioration due to increased fat oxidation, reducing the value of the feed and causing waste. Therefore, the storage of feed should be protected from light, ventilation, moisture, and insects, and feed as little as possible in the rainy season.

In the breeding process, if there is a death of laying hens, it is undoubtedly the most sad and worrying for farmers. Therefore, in order to prevent this situation from occurring as little as possible, farmers should strengthen the daily management of the chicken cages.

Use layer battery cages to raise chickens. The layer cage has a modern system and lives in the home cage. Farmers can pay attention to the status of the chickens, and if they find sick chickens, they can take immediate treatment.

Farmers should formulate reasonable immunization procedures. Timely immunization is one of the most important ways to prevent chickens from getting sick. The time of vaccination should also be determined based on the health of the flock.

Use automated chicken farming equipment to manage the chicken house. Farmers can use the automatic manure removal system to clean the chicken manure out of the chicken house on time. This will create a clean living environment for the chickens and reduce their illnesses.

In short, the use of automatic poultry chicken farming systems can not only help reduce the mortality of chickens, but also create a good chicken house environment for chickens to promote healthy growth of chickens. The automated poultry farming subsystem mainly includes chicken cages, automated manure removal systems, automated drinking water systems, automated egg collection systems, automatic feeding systems, and automatic ventilation systems. They assist in cooperation, just to make it easier for farmers to raise chickens.

The high temperature in summer will affect the laying rate of laying hens to varying degrees. Here are some practical methods to ensure the high yield and stable production of laying hens raised in automatic chicken battery cage density through the summer.

Implement strict sanitation and disinfection measures

Summer spray disinfection can not only kill germs and purify the air in the house, but also lower the temperature of the house. It should be carried out at 10 am and 3 pm, but attention should be paid to the spray speed and the height should be appropriate. The spray diameter should be moderate. The disinfectant used must be efficient, non-toxic and side-effects, strong adhesion, and low irritating odor. So as not to induce respiratory diseases in chickens. Cause unnecessary losses.

Protect the chicken's own cooling and heatstroke prevention behavior

In order to adapt to hot weather conditions. Chickens often have some instinctive behaviors. If you open your mouth to breathe in order to dissipate heat, spread your wings. Increasing the contact area between the epidermis and the air and facilitating conduction and heat dissipation are all instinctive responses of chickens to adapt to high temperatures. Should be protected.

Use automatic ventilation system

When the temperature exceeds 30°C. The ceiling fan can be turned on to cool down the open type chicken house, and the closed type chicken house can adopt the longitudinal ventilation method to cool down. That is, an energy air outlet is set at the front door of the chicken house, and an exhaust outlet is set at the back door. A certain number of high-power exhaust fans are reasonably and evenly set up according to the size of the chicken house, and the west side windows are closed when the wind is active to prevent hot air from being injected. After the fan is turned on, the discharge of dirty air in the house and the injection of outdoor fresh air can be accelerated, effectively reducing the temperature of the house.

Light is one of the necessary environmental conditions for laying hens. The intensity, time and color of light are very important for chicken activities, metabolism, growth and productivity, especially for laying hens raised in layer battery cage equipment. Reasonable control of light can improve the production capacity of laying hens and the economic benefits of farmers.

1. The effect of light on laying hens

Light stimulates the hypothalamus directly through the skull or light through the nerve pathway of the nerve lobe. After the hypothalamus is stimulated, it secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which reaches the anterior pituitary through the pituitary portal system, causing follicles The secretion of stimulating hormones and ovulation hormones promote the development of follicles and then ovulation. The developing follicles produce estrogen, which promotes the development and function of the hen’s fallopian tubes. At the same time, estrogen also promotes calcium metabolism to facilitate the formation of eggshells. Ovulation hormones Causes hens to ovulate. In a closed chicken house, no matter how nature changes day and night. The laying of eggs by hens is mostly concentrated in the first 2-7 hours of artificial light.

2. Control of lighting technology

1. Lighting time. The length of lighting time is closely related to the age of sexual maturity of chickens. Too short light time during the rearing period will delay sexual maturity, and too long time will lead to early sexual maturity.

2. Light intensity. Appropriate light intensity is conducive to the normal growth and development of chickens. Excessive light can make chickens irritable and cause severe pecking, prolapse or nervousness. The sudden increase in light intensity during the laying period can significantly increase the rate of cracked eggs, soft-skinned eggs, deformed eggs, and sudden death; low illumination can accelerate the deposition of body fat, but the illumination is too low. It will reduce the chicken's feed intake, reduce drinking water, hinder growth and development, and reduce egg production.

There are four ways to control the light intensity: one is to control the intensity by increasing or decreasing the number of bulbs; the other is to adjust the intensity by changing the bulbs of different power; the third is to control the intensity by adjusting the voltage; the fourth is to control the intensity by adjusting the spacing. But no matter how you adjust, each time you turn on and turn off the lights, you must gradually change from dark to bright, from bright to dark, to give the chickens an adaptation process to prevent frightening the flock. The distance between the bulbs should be 1.5 times the height of the bulb from the ground; the distance between the lamp and the wall should be half the distance between the bulbs, and the lamps between rows should be arranged in a staggered manner to obtain a more uniform lighting effect.

3. Light color. Laying hens are more sensitive to color. Chickens have better vision under red, orange and yellow light. Under red light, it tends to be quiet, with very few pecking habit, a little later in maturity, high feed reward, and egg production slightly increased; yellow light reduces feed reward, delayed sexual maturity, increased egg weight, decreased egg production, and increased pecking ; Green light can make sexual maturity earlier and weight gain faster; blue light can reduce hen egg production.
