The hot season is coming. For the farmers, the cooling of the house is a very important thing. Everyone knows that the water curtain can play a role in cooling, but how to use the water curtain correctly is not very well understood.
When using poultry battery cages to raise chickens in the summer, how do we use water curtains correctly?
1. If there is high temperature and high humidity, we should pay attention to the use of water curtains. Water curtains cannot be used continuously. This is easy to cause the cooling effect of the chicken group is very poor, the humidity of the chicken house is too large, this high humidity will make the chicken house boring, causing the chicken to die of oxygen deficiency. Therefore, in this season, the water curtain cannot be used continuously. When the outside humidity exceeds 70, we are most suitable for the use of water curtains for intermittent use.
2. The method of intermittent use is to let the water of the water curtain flow to about three-quarters of the position. Then stop and the water will continue to flow downwards according to inertia. Wait until the water curtain starts to whitish, and then give water once again. After a lot of tests, the water supply time of the water curtain is about forty seconds, and the stop time is about four minutes. At this time, the state of the large group is observed.
3. It is not the dampness of the water curtain, the better the cooling effect. But the water curtain is just wet and there is not much water, and the cooling effect is the best.
4. When using the water curtain for the first time, be sure to use mixed air. That is to say, the window or the ventilation pipe can not be blocked. At the same time, the water curtain is wet, so that the temperature of the chicken house will not fall too fast, causing the chicken to catch a cold, which is the cold stress we often say. Or you can do this. Every time the water curtain needs to be wetted by a quarter to a half, it is guaranteed that the wind coming in from the curtain wind is a mixed wind, which is not so cool and causes a cold in the chicken flock.
5. The temperature control temperature is recommended to be lower than 28 °C, and the fan is cooled. Above 28 °C, the water curtain is cooled. The water temperature of the curtain is preferably between 20 °C and 26 °C. Taking recycled water, very cool water, evaporation is very slow, that is to say, it is not the cooler the water, the better the cooling effect.
6. When using the water curtain, be sure to pay attention to the weather conditions outside. Adjust the use area of the water curtain in time according to changes in the outside weather. If there is high temperature and high humidity, it is necessary to reduce the use area of the water curtain. Close the side windows, turn all the fans on, and increase the temperature of the house by increasing the wind speed.
7. When the outside temperature drops, gradually adjust the angle of the baffle, or close the water curtain, and open the side window until the temperature is appropriate.
In our breeding process, whether it is warming or cooling, we must follow the gradual progress, don’t be afraid of trouble. Because the conditions of each of our chicken houses are different. Therefore, according to the state of the chicken, the condition of the chicken house must be explored for a long time to find a suitable method for heating or cooling the house. It is the most reliable.
