Layer Chicken Farms - Poultry Farming Strategies of Layers and Broilers

Poultry farmers are now developing rapidly, and poultry layer cages have also been widely recognized by poultry farmers. The use of modern chicken cages for poultry breeding requires not only scientific breeding methods, but also the ability to purchase poultry farming equipment.

First of all, the material of the cage must be judged. If farmers want to make chickens have a suitable living environment, they must first ensure the strength and toughness of the cages. The cages can be restored when they are deformed when they are held by hands. This cage is suitable for the life of the chickens and will not be caused by the cage. It is hard and causes pectoral bursitis in chickens.

Second, ask the poultry farmer what preservative method is used for the chicken cage mesh. Then observe whether the surface of the chicken coop is smooth and whether the gloss is good. Generally, the surface of the cage made by hot-dip galvanizing process is relatively smooth and will not cause scratches to the chickens, and the gloss of the cage is also good, and it looks beautiful and generous. The most important thing is that the battery layer cages processed by hot-dip galvanizing are corrosion resistant, will not rust, and have a long service life.

 

 

The third chicken cage chassis setting skills. Since laying hens will lay eggs during the breeding process, farmers should pay attention to the wire spacing of the cage and the inclined surface of the chassis when purchasing cages. In order to ensure that the eggs can roll out smoothly without cracking, it is generally The wire distance is about 1.5 cm, and the slope of the chassis is 7-8 degrees.

The most important thing is to choose a regular poultry cage manufacturer. The most important point is that when purchasing cages, farmers must go to a regular large manufacturer to purchase, because the process of production equipment of large manufacturers is strictly inspected, and the price of products directly sold by the manufacturer will be higher than the price of the equipment in the hands of the agent. Low. This not only guarantees the quality of the purchased products, but also saves a lot of purchase funds.

The temperature difference between day and night in spring is large. It is necessary to pay attention to controlling the constant temperature. If the temperature is too high or too low, the weight of the broiler will be affected. The weight of the chicks should be 4 times of 7 days after entering the house. If this standard is not met, it will affect the growth and development of broilers. If the temperature exceeds 38 ° C for more than 3 hours in the first week of brooding, it will affect the growth and development of the chicks.

(1) Temperature control before chicks enter the poultry farming cages.

Be sure to fully pre-warm the brooding room, preferably more than 12 hours in advance, to keep the temperature of the air, floor and wall of the house consistent. In production practice, the temperature of brooding is not up to standard. Although the temperature in the air has reached the required level, the ground temperature is still relatively low. It is easy to appear cold on the second day after entering the chick. Although it can be adjusted, the late chicks tend to The intestinal tract is not good.

(2) Pay attention to temperature control during immunization.

Every immunization should control the temperature, preferably 2 ° C ~ 3 ° C higher than usual, due to the weak immunity of the body during immunization, it is easy to infect mycoplasma or E. coli disease, so during this period the house should be suitable temperature.

How to make chicken feed not wasted?

Chickens in chicken poultry farming equipment have different nutrients in different stages of growth, so the amount of feed they feed must be accurately controlled. Scientific feed feeding measures can also reduce the cost of raising chickens and maximize the profit of raising chickens.


Poultry farming, according to the different growth stages of chickens, taking accurate feeding control measures is an important part of raising chickens. It is well known that 80% of the cost of poultry farming is the cost of feed, no waste, precise control can be used for poultry farming. The benefits are maximized. The breeds commonly raised by chicken farmers are laying hens and broilers. Today we will control the feeding of these two kinds of chickens.

 

Feeding of laying hens:

Egg-type chicks need about 15 kg of concentrate in the 5 months of growth. After they become real laying hens, they must accurately control the amount of feed. According to the laying level and laying period of laying hens, The specific feed amount is controlled in stages, 40% of which is green feed, and the rest is divided according to the situation.

 

Broiler feeding:

Compared with the laying hens, the meat-type chickens are the chickens themselves, and the laying of the chickens is the deputy. In the growth stage of the carnivorous chickens, the concentrate needs about 18 kg, and the subsequent feeding ingredients are mostly protein and feed ingredients. The feed is centered, others are second, and reasonable arrangements, there is no specific amount here, as long as one purpose, the chicken can not eat.

 

 

 

 

 


In the process of growing the chicken, there are also restrictions on feeding, that is, inhibiting the growth and development of the chicken, delaying the maturity of the chicken, thereby controlling the chicken's egg production, body weight, egg weight and other data, so as to maximize the benefits. Use full-price compound feed to improve feed absorption and utilization. The nutrient composition of the diet is not comprehensive, and it is undoubtedly the biggest and less noticeable waste to increase the feed intake. The scientific formula must be used to formulate the feed according to the physiological characteristics and growth and development of the chicken.

 

 

Feed crushing should not be too fine. Too fine feed is neither suitable for feeding nor dust, resulting in waste of feed. Improve the trough to prevent feed waste. Provide a well-structured trough according to the age of the chicken. Try not to let the chicken enter the trough, and at the same time, let the chicken out of the trough. Improve the feeding method and feed less. The amount of feed should not exceed one third of the depth of the trough. Both the chickens are full and there is no leftover in the tank.

 


Pay attention to save. Prevent the mold from becoming mildewed, pests, rain and direct sunlight. Timely elimination of low-yielding chickens, discontinued chickens and older chickens in poultry farming cage equipment.

 


In today's chicken industry, the methods of raising chickens are no longer the same as before. The continuous development of technology has driven the progress of the chicken industry, and chickens are developing towards large-scale and intensive methods. And now chicken farming is no longer an era of full manpower. The emergence of various types of automated chicken farming equipment has allowed farmers to experience the human management equipment and the ease of equipment for chicken farming. The author will talk about the introduction and selection of automatic chicken breeding equipment.

Among the chicken breeding equipment, the automatic chicken breeding equipment mainly includes: automatic manure cleaner, egg picker, feeder and other equipment. It can enable the farmer's chicken house to realize the tedious and time-consuming work such as automatic dung cleaning, feeding and egg picking. Freeing the hands of farmers to give farmers more time to manage chicken flocks, the advantages of using these devices for chicken farming are:

1. It can realize large-scale breeding of chickens by farmers, and the use of these equipments plus the laying cage breeding method can allow farmers to raise tens of thousands of layers. And it can also be easily managed. With a large number of breeding, the economic benefits of the farmers increase a lot.

2. The use of automated equipment can ensure the sanitation of the chicken house. For example, the manure cleaning machine can automatically clean the manure regularly, and timely clean out the manure produced by the chickens, so that the probability of bacteria and ammonia generated by the chicken house is reduced. The chicken coop has a good environment and the chickens grow naturally.

3. Without these automated equipment, farmers need to hire manpower to complete the work of raising chicken manure, feeding, etc. The monthly salary of workers is a large expense. Now with automated equipment, you can reduce the use of these labor and reduce the cost of raising chickens.

4. When raising layer hens and broilers, using cages can facilitate the treatment and management of diseases. Cage keeping allows farmers to treat layer hens when they are sick, and the difficulty of treatment is greatly reduced. And the environmental control of the automatic chicken house is better, and it can also ensure that the layer is in good physical condition.

The above is the introduction and selection of automatic chicken breeding equipment in Pakistan for the author. I believe that after understanding the advantages of the above-mentioned automated chicken breeding equipment, farmers will understand why automated breeding can become the mainstream and trend of the chicken industry. These equipments are a good helper for farmers and ideal for driving farmers' economy.

Empty chicken house management

The chicken house should be cleaned up always, and the empty chicken house also need cleaned . After the chickens are transferred out, in order to provide a safe environment for the future chicken flocks and surrounding chicken flocks, the house must be empty for at least 20 days. Management of key links such as cleaning, rinsing and disinfection.

Clean the material tower, feed storage room and trough to avoid waste of feed, and clear the chicken manure from the chicken house to ensure the chicken manure treatment in the chicken house. Chicken manure outside the chicken house. First clean it in a bag, clean it, rinse the road with clean water, and finally spray disinfection.

Clean the drinking water system, power supply system, cages and other equipment and facilities; protect the electrical equipment control switches in the house. When arranging the house, try not to remove the facilities and items from the house. It should be arranged, washed and disinfected in the house. If the facility or item must be removed, strict cleaning and disinfection should be carried out before removal to prevent contamination of other areas.

The poultry cage equipment can be washed 2 to 3 days after the house is finished. In the process of rinsing, according to the principle of first, then, after, after, after and after, to ensure the rinsing effect and work efficiency, at the same time, it can also save costs. After rinsing and finishing, check the working effect. If the rinsing is unqualified, it should be re-rinsed immediately. And check again.

After the house is washed clean, the water pipes of each floor should be adjusted to the appropriate height, and all the equipment in the house (including feeding, ventilation, scraping, lighting, drinking water, temperature supply, etc.) should be thoroughly overhauled, all preparations Do it.

Environmental management of chicken farms

1. The chicken battery cages are not connected to each other to avoid cross-infection between the chickens and the chickens.

 

2. The farther away from other chicken-raising units, the better, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission;

 

3. All the houses must be thoroughly cleaned with high-pressure faucets. All tools in the house, such as electric fans, brooms, etc., must be cleaned;

 

4. Ensure that chicken farm personnel are not in contact with the outside flocks;

 

 

5. All chicken houses must be disinfected with a broad-spectrum cleaning agent that kills important pathogens;

 

6. Actively take measures to control rats, flies and stray animals. Once a mouse is present, use rodenticide or use a rodent-proof house to clear and control it;

 

7. When chickens of different ages are raised in the same chicken farm, the care of the chicken must start with the healthiest chicken feathers (usually the smallest chicken). Workers are not allowed to return to the chicken house from the big chicken house until the clothes and boots have been properly cleaned and disinfected;

 

8. If the dead chicken is found, the chicken house should be taken out immediately and disposed of immediately;

 

9. Workers must always wear clean clothes and boots when entering the house. Those who have been in contact with the big chicken-type laying hen must take a bath before entering the chicken house to save the person;

 

10. Non-essential personnel are not allowed to enter the chicken farm. Visitors must abide by the above rules;

 

11. Vehicles outside are not allowed to enter unless they are cleaned and disinfected.

If a breeding farm wants to be industrialized, large-scale breeding is inseparable from automatic layer breeding machinery and equipment. Automatic layer breeding machinery and equipment are good assistants to assist layer farmers in the breeding work. Nowadays, the chicken breeding equipment is very good. Mechanical automation can be applied for a long time. This requires farms to carry out timely maintenance and maintenance of machinery and equipment, so as to ensure that all machinery and equipment can be maintained for the long-term normal work of the farm. The working efficiency of the chicken farm is the maintenance and maintenance of the following automatic layer breeding machinery and equipment.

 

The key of automatic layer breeding machinery and equipment includes: automatic manure cleaning machine, automatic feeding machine, automatic egg picking machine, each of which will describe the key points of maintenance of machinery and equipment.

 

 

 

1. Automatic manure cleaning machine: After the farm has applied the manure cleaning machine for a period of time, the manure removal belt will increase and increase the slack. Maintenance of rolling bearings and rubber sticks. Rolling bearings should be added with unsalted butter on time. The glue sticks should be kept tight and not loose. In addition, many farms have a roll-up of manure removal opportunities. Farms will remove manure belts in passive rolling. The position of the barrel can be leveled.

 

2. Automatic feeder: When the feeder is in use, the farm must pay attention to the fact that no items can be placed on the feeder, otherwise it will cause the motor to withstand too much force and burn the motor. The application of the feeder Make sure that the transmission chain and gears have a certain level of lubrication, otherwise the lack of lubrication will destroy the equipment. The farm should pay attention to regular maintenance. The feeder is mainly produced by skin to transport concentrated feed, so the farm should be maintained regularly Is the transmission belt intact? Is the level of tightness moderate? The control cabinet of the feeder will have a lot of dust due to dust caused by the concentrate. In the long term, it will cause short-circuit failure of the internal power circuit. The farm should carry out the removal on time.

 

3. Fully automatic egg picker: When the farm uses an automatic egg picker, it is necessary to pay attention to the detailed learning and training of the appropriate operation steps of the machine equipment. If the wrong operation is very easy to cause damage to the machine and equipment, use the egg picker After that, you must pay attention to frequent disinfection and sterilization, because some chicken excrement, feather dusters and other items containing pathogens are inevitably left in the whole process of application of machinery and equipment. If you have been using a machine that carries pathogens and does not often clean up If the equipment is available, the quality of the eggs will be reduced.
