Layer Chicken Farms - Poultry Farming Strategies of Layers and Broilers

1. Medium-scale chicken farms will become mainstream

At present, the long-term "small-scale and large-group" breeding in the layer industry has made disease control in areas with dense layer production become the biggest factor affecting the development of the industry. In the next 5-10 years, chicken farms with a stock of 50,000 to 500,000 layers will become the main source of eggs in the future, and chicken farms with a stock of less than 10,000 will gradually withdraw from the layer breeding industry.

2. Intelligent breeding

With the development of the poultry breeding equipment manufacturing industry and the integration of breeding equipment from countries around the world in the past two years, competition in the breeding equipment industry has become increasingly fierce. The relative investment of breeding equipment in the entire breeding process is constantly decreasing, which has made automated chicken coops popular all over the world. Coupled with the continuous increase in labor costs and management costs, farmers are actively developing in the direction of appropriate scale, standardization, automation, and intelligent breeding. "Man manages machines and machines raise chickens" will become more and more common, and intelligence will inevitably become the industry's choice in the future.

3. Industrial integration

With the scale and modern development of the layer industry, the integrated operation model has gradually been accepted by the majority of chicken farmers. The formation of a completed industrial chain will be very benign to the development of the entire industry. There are specializations in the technical industry, and professional people do professional things. The operation model from breeding-breeding chickens-feed-equipment-animal protection services-brand eggs-egg processing-out of the chicken industrial park is a good model for building a complete industrial chain.

Therefore, it can be seen that the use of automated poultry farming equipment to raise chickens is the general trend.

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.

Is the chicken house disinfected way right?

We all know that if we want to raise chickens, this part of disinfection plays a decisive role in breeding. It is reasonable to reduce the incidence of disinfection, which greatly reduces the cost of breeding. If the disinfection is unreasonable, it will waste money and delay the disease. Increase the incidence of flocks and reduce our economic benefits. Today we will come together to see how disinfection is the most correct.

 

1. The general situation of the chicken battery cages is to disinfect twice a week, at least once a week, and more frequently in the summer.

 

2. Two or more disinfectant products must be used alternately in the farm.

 

3. It is very important to thoroughly clean the farm before disinfection. It is very important not to dust the house, the roof spider web layer is layered, the ground is not cleaned, and disinfection is started. The disinfection effect is very poor. It is the same as no disinfection. This is also a mistake that many farmers' friends tend to ignore and easy to make. Everyone must pay attention.

 

 

4. 3 days after the vaccination vaccine, do not disinfect the chicken farm, and do not disinfect the chicken farm equipment. Otherwise it will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.

 

5. When disinfecting with disinfectant water, whether it is summer or winter, it is not possible to spray the disinfectant directly onto the chicken. Instead, it is sprayed on the top of the hall or above the chicken cage. It can fall naturally on the chicken body and cannot be sprayed directly onto the chicken. To prevent the chickens from catching a cold.

 

6. When disinfecting in winter, try to use the Chinese medicine disinfection to fumigation, which can effectively prevent the chickens from catching a cold.

 

7. When using disinfectant for disinfection, it should be disinfected strictly according to the ratio. Do not increase the proportion of disinfection at random, so that it will not increase the disinfection effect and increase toxicity.

 

In short, the disinfection of chicken farms is very rigorous. If we can properly disinfect, it will greatly reduce the incidence of chicken farms, reduce our farming costs, and thus improve our economic efficiency.


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.

  •  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.


Should buy some chicks with a higher survival rate and higher disease resistance and good production performance in chicken farm equipment.

To buy better quality feeds, it is better for chicks to grow and develop. There is also a scientific and rational allocation to avoid some diseases. If you use some poor quality feed, it will cause the chicken to become sick. The feed intake is reduced, and the egg production rate is relatively low. Regular use can cause chicken diarrhea, death, and reduced income.

 

 

First of all, we must first develop a scientific and rational immunization step, and fully investigate, so that it will be implemented faster, and we must choose a regular manufacturer to buy a vaccine. Remember to disinfect in time. For example, the disinfection of water lines and the disinfection of chicken farms, due to the frequent addition of some vitamins in the waterline, will cause the formation of pathogenic microorganisms inside the waterline to grow and multiply, resulting in drinking water pollution. Usually, you can use drugs suitable for drinking water disinfection, and disinfect the drinking water three times a month for 3 to 4 hours. Disinfection should be carried out by alternately selecting disinfectants of several different compositions to avoid drug resistance.

Keep the proper temperature in the chicken house. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the egg production rate. In the summer, it is necessary to prevent the heat from cooling in the winter and strive to reduce the temperature. And reasonable lighting, suitable ventilation can adjust the indoor temperature, humidity, reduce the concentration of harmful gases, supplement the role of oxygen, increase the body resistance, reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases. Timely elimination of low-yield chickens and increase egg production rate.

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.

With the increasing number of large-scale chicken farms, it is more contradictory for chicken farms to choose automated poultry cages for equipment, and they do not know how to choose. The following poultry equipment manufacturers will introduce to you how to make decisions on the selection of equipment for your reference

 

A Type Layer Cages

The laying hen equipment is a type A chicken coop. You can choose to install two types of manure cleaning: scraper cleaning and belt cleaning. It is a relatively early use of laying hen breeding equipment. If your coop can hold 5000-30000 birds. A-type battery layer cages are very suitable.

 

 

Advantage:

  1. The cost is low, and the breeding density is higher than that of flat breeding.
  2. The open area of each layer of chicken coop is large, even if it is an open chicken house, the ventilation effect is good.
  3. Reasonable design, easy to operate,
  4. Easy maintenance and long service life.
  5. The easy-to-open spring-loaded door makes it easy to observe and move the pullets.

 

Shortcoming:

  1. The area is relatively large, and the space utilization rate is low compared with the H-type chicken cages;
  2. The labor intensity of workers is high;
  3. The chicken manure on the upper tierof the chicken cage will fall to the chickens on the lower tier, which is not conducive to the health of the chickens and the integrity of the feathers.

 

H Type Poultry Cages

 

Chicken cages are tiered on top of each other like buildings. This kind of equipment was developed later, due to the increasing shortage of land resources, less and less land can be used for breeding. Therefore, more and more customers increase the stocking density, just to save land, and the degree of intensification is getting higher and higher.

 

 

Advantage: 

  1. Vertically battery chicken cages save more floor space, increase the number of feeding, reduce labor and management costs, and ultimately bring considerable profits to chicken farmers.
  2. There is a manure removal belt at the bottom of each cage, which is clean and hygienic, allowing the chickens to grow healthily and less pollution to the environment.
  3. Small footprint, high space utilization, easy to achieve intensive and large-scale breeding;
  4. Sliding cage door, the opening is convenient and large, and it is easier to catch chickens.

 

Shortcoming:

  1. It adopts closed type and automatic temperature control, otherwise it is difficult to control the temperature inside the chicken house.
  2. There are at least tens of thousands of chickens in a chicken house, and the risk factor is relatively high.

 

Based on the above situation, I believe everyone knows how to choose. The chicken farmer still choose the equipment that suits them according to their total amount of laying hens and investment.
