Chick farming is more difficult in the first week in chicken cage system. The chicks at this stage are the ones with the fastest development of the intestines and organs. So what should farmers pay attention to?
1. For the control of the temperature of the house, the temperature of the chicks when entering the house should not be too high, 30 degrees. It should be avoided that the temperature of the transporter and the temperature of the house are too different, otherwise it will cause stress and bathing of the chicken. . The chicks can warm up in 3 to 4 hours after entering the house, and the temperature is between 33 and 34 degrees. Humidity is also important, keeping it between 65% and 70%, and drinking water is kept between 18 and 24 degrees.
2. Water is very important for chickens. During the brooding period, ensure that the chickens have enough water to allow the chickens to drink water within half a meter. The temperature is maintained between 18 and 24 degrees.
3. Excessive or insufficient light is not enough. The chicks should be fully illuminated 24 hours after entering the house. The next day, they can control the light. The first week gradually increases the control to about two hours. On the seventh day, there is no light control. From the eighth day, you can gradually lengthen the time of light control.
4. Because the chicks develop very fast in the first week, the choice of drugs should be noted, do not use drugs that are more irritating to the chicken liver. This is also to avoid damage to the liver and kidney, affecting the development of liver and kidney.
5. The environment of the house is also very important, pay attention to maintain ventilation, avoid stress reaction, and maintain good temperature adjustment. Chickens are timid, so the surrounding environment avoids excessive sounds.
