Layer Chicken Farms - Poultry Farming Strategies of Layers and Broilers

When using poultry farm cage to raise chickens in the farm, pay attention to many details. The water supply must be normal in the whole process of chicken feeding, no water leakage, no blockage, no pollution. This requires thorough cleaning of the water line before cleaning the chicken, wiping the cup, checking the nipple installation and water leakage. A simple leak phenomenon is not the result of management slack. This shows that we have fewer visits to and from the house, and the work in the house is not fine enough. If the water leaks too much on the ground, it will cause a chain reaction, which will increase the humidity in the house. Under high temperature, the chicken manure is mixed with the feed and fermented rapidly to produce a thick ammonia gas. Excessive concentration of ammonia will damage the respiratory mucosa of the chick, the respiratory tract. The mucous membrane is the first barrier against the invasion of foreign evils. Once damaged, the chicks are completely filled with pathogens, and the immune system is overwhelmed by a variety of pathogens. The end result is a mixed infection in poultry cage equipment.

 

The fully automatic material line saves labor and improves work efficiency, which does not mean that you no longer pay attention to the feeding problem. In the process of breeding, there must be no leakage, no material, no mold. For example, there is only one reason for the missing material problem, that is, the tray is not installed. If the breeder's work is done with enough care, check the number of times before loading, and fix the position probe after each expansion. The above problems will be solved. If the most basic water and materials in the house are insufficient, it can be imagined that other equipment in the house can operate smoothly.

 

 

 

 

 

Temperature, humidity and ventilation. Those who are engaged in farming know that temperature, humidity and ventilation are closely related and contradictory. Especially in the winter and spring seasons, the temperature is low, the humidity is relatively small, and at the same time, enough fresh air is supplied to the house. If the ventilation is too large, the temperature and humidity will decrease greatly; if the ventilation is too small, the air quality in the house will be poor. In summer, the temperature and humidity are too high, and it is often necessary to increase ventilation to reduce the humidity in the house and the somatosensory temperature of the chicken. As far as the current season is concerned, although it is a beautiful season for spring blossoms, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and there are many windy weathers. So how to adjust the fan and small window, adjust the temperature inside the house evenly, and the humidity and sufficient oxygen in the house. It has become a key task.

 


When the temperature is high during the day, ventilation can be increased, and the ventilation time is twice or even greater at night. Sufficient fresh air is clearly beneficial to alleviate the symptoms of respiratory diseases. In the evening, everyone eats and rests. When everyone is most relaxed, the temperature begins to decrease. At this time, the small window should be adjusted in time to prevent the cold air from being fully warmed up on the chicken. This way the chicken will only feel more comfortable and there is no feeling of quenching. In the windy weather, whether the small windows of the north and south walls have been adjusted accordingly to avoid inconsistent air intake in the north and south walls. Try your best to minimize stress, and the chicken will naturally not catch a cold. Stress is the source, and viruses such as colds are fueling the waves. When you have not responded in time, they will push the flocks to the abyss step by step.

 

Battery chicken cages are specially produced for poultry farming. It is suitable for layers, chicks, broilers and breeders. A high-quality chicken coop can overcome broiler udder inflammation. It is also recommended that poultry farmers buy high-quality chicken cages. Chickens do not need to be turned over before being sent to the slaughterhouse, which saves the trouble of catching chickens and avoids possible adverse reactions of chickens.

 

 

  1. High degree of automation. Automatic feeding, drinking water, manure cleaning, wet curtain cooling, centralized management, automatic environmental control. Save energy consumption, improve labor productivity, reduce the cost of manual feeding, and greatly improve the farming efficiency of farmers.

 

  1. Chickens have good anti-epidemic properties and can effectively prevent infection. Chickens do not touch manure, which can make chickens grow healthier, provide chickens with a clean growing environment, and greatly increase the time for slaughtering and laying eggs.

 

  1. Reasonable design. Allow fresh air to circulate the space and reduce the spread of disease.

 

  1. Save breeding feed: battery cage for layers can save a lot of chicken cage breeding feed. And chickenbattery cages can reduce exercise, energy consumption and waste. Chicken cages can effectively save more than 25% of breeding costs.

 

  1. Sturdy and durable: The complete set of cage chicken equipment adopts hot-dip galvanizing process, which is corrosion-resistant, anti-aging, and has a service life of 15-20 years.

 

  1. Easy to install and maintain.

 

Common battery cages are generally 3 or 4 tiers. Its design structure is reasonable and suitable for the development of intensive poultry farming. High-density farming saves land, 50% less than free-range farming. Centralized management saves energy and resources and reduces the high incidence of poultry diseases. The unique cage door design can effectively prevent the chickens from wasting feed by shaking their heads up and down.

The number of chickens per square meter of feeding area in chicken layer cages for sale is called the stocking density. The feeding and drinking position occupied by each chicken is also an indispensable condition for mastering the stocking density. If the density is too large, the chickens are crowded, the environmental humidity is increased, the feeding is uneven, the chicks are not well-developed, the disease and convulsions are susceptible, the chicks are weakened, the mortality rate increases, and the growth rate decreases.

The low density of chickens raised in wire chicken cages for sale is beneficial to the survival and growth of the chicks, but it is not conducive to heat preservation and is not economical. The density should be adjusted according to the type, variety, brooding mode, season, age, ventilation status of the chicks. Automated farming equipment cage brooding should be correspondingly increased with age, the density should be reduced by about 30% at 3 - 4 weeks of age, and by about 15% at 5-6 weeks.

Daily maintenance of laying hens

The inside and outside of the egg cage are neat and tidy. It is necessary to ensure that there are no oil on each sliding surface, screw, rack, gear box, oil hole, etc., no oil leakage or air leakage in all parts, and chips, debris and dirt around the equipment. Clean and clean; tools, accessories, workpieces (products) should be placed neatly, pipes and lines should be organized; lubricated and oiled or oil changed on time, continuous oil, no dry friction, normal oil pressure, bright oil mark, smooth oil passage, oil The quality meets the requirements, the oil gun, oil cup and linoleum are clean; the safety operation rules are observed, the equipment is not overloaded, the safety protection device of the equipment is complete and reliable, and the unsafe factors are eliminated in time.

 

The daily maintenance of the egg cage 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 shall be established, and assessment shall be carried out according to the quota. The regular maintenance work of equipment shall be included in the assessment content of the workshop contract responsibility system. Regular inspection of equipment is a planned preventive inspection. In addition to the human senses, the inspection methods must also have certain inspection tools and instruments. The inspections are carried out according to regular inspection cards. Regular inspections are also called periodic inspections. The mechanical equipment should also be checked for accuracy to determine the degree of accuracy of the equipment.

 

 

 

Layer chicken cages maintenance should be carried out in accordance with maintenance procedures. Equipment maintenance procedures are requirements and regulations for routine maintenance of equipment. Persistence in equipment maintenance procedures can extend equipment life and ensure a safe and comfortable working environment. Its main content should include:

 

1. The equipment should be neat, clean, sturdy, lubricated, anti-corrosive, safe, etc., the working content, working methods, tools and materials used, standards and precautions;

What are the main points of the laying period?

Do you know how many days of hatching an egg can produce a chicken? When does the chicken grow to start laying eggs? What is the peak period of laying eggs? do we need to care something?

A fertilized egg usually hatches the chicken after 21 days, the duck egg is 28 days, the goose egg is 30~33 days, the pigeon egg is 18 days, the pearl egg is 26 days, and the fire egg is 27~28 days. It takes these stages for a chick to go from hatching to final elimination.

Chicken raising, especially laying hens, determines the length of the egg production period. Why should limit light and limit materials before? Because, at the stage of 43~126 days, if the light is not limited, the chicken will lay eggs in advance, resulting in a shortened egg production period of 3 to 5 months, causing serious losses.

So the peak of egg production is so important, what should farmers pay attention to?

In addition to daily management, pay more attention to the condition of laying hens. Usually, in addition to packing eggs in egg packing system, clear dung, feeding, cleaning, you should also observe the status of the laying hens, see if there are sick chickens, etc. In short, pay more attention. Laying hens must ensure that nutrition is kept up.

Reduce stress and maintain environmental sanitation. High-yielding laying hens are easily frightened, resulting in less food for laying hens and lower egg production rates.

The problem to be paid attention to in raising chickens in summer: the optimum temperature for chicken adaptation is 13 to 25 degrees, and the production is customarily used for 21 to 25 degrees. In the hot summer, the chickens are fed in the cool morning.

 

The summer weather is hot, and the egg production rate will drop, especially after entering the sky, so the farmers need to do the following management to ensure the egg production rate of the laying hens in summer.

Feeding management points

1. Pay attention to the weather forecast, pay attention to the high temperature and high humidity weather, especially after the rain, the higher humidity will cause the wet curtain to cool down and increase the heat stress.

2. Reduce the density of chicken battery cage feeding. Appropriately reduce the number of replenishment, timely eliminate residual, weak, sick chicks, expand the group as early as possible, reduce the stocking density.
 
3. Adjust the feeding time. After 2-4 hours of feeding, the heat production increases, so high temperature weather avoids feeding during high temperature period, and feeding time avoids high temperature period, preferably before 8 am and after 5 pm. Pay attention to the mildew and deterioration of the feed to prevent poisoning or intestinal diseases, daily cleansing and limiting light once.

4. Strengthen night ventilation and cool down. Conducive to the chickens to dissipate the heat during the day, increase feed intake.

5. Adjust the waterline in time to ensure sufficient clean drinking water. In high temperature weather, the chickens need a large amount of water to ensure that the chickens have sufficient water, and the lower drinking water temperature can lower the body temperature.

6. Timely supplement electrolytes and vitamins. The flock has a large amount of respiration, and at the same time, it has a large amount of drinking water, which is easy to cause imbalance of the acid-base balance. At this time, the electrolyte should be replenished in time; at the same time, the compound vitamin is supplemented to improve the body's ability to resist heat stress.

7. Reduce the stocking density. Laying hens are particularly afraid of heat. In summer, people should reduce the stocking density of chickens in time according to the rising temperature. The density of flocks should be based on ambient temperature, humidity and the type of house. In the hot summer, reducing the stocking density can effectively reduce the small ambient temperature in the house, which is of great significance in production practice. When captive laying hens enter the summer, it is advisable to raise 5 per square meter; after entering the volts, it can be reduced to 4 per square meter.

The above points are the advantages of raising chickens in poultry battery cages described by the author. Generally, the breeding quantity is less than 1,000. It is best for farmers to use flat or free-range breeding. This breeding method is the most cost-effective and can quickly return to cost. If the breeding volume is more than 3,000 or more, then the author recommends the use of layer chicken cages, which is convenient and labor-saving.

 


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.

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.
