For chicken flocks, the environment in the house is a very important issue that affects their growth, so make sure the flock has a relatively comfortable environment. It is necessary to take care of the farmers to ensure the healthy growth of laying hens and broilers. Farmers have to use some methods to ensure environmental sanitation in the house. The authors refer to the experience of poultry equipment manufacturers to explain how to improve the environment in the house.
1. Reasonable construction of the chicken house: Before building the chicken house, the farmers should pay attention to choose a suitable address. The house must be built in a place with high terrain, convenient drainage and good ventilation. It is not suitable to build a field in low humidity. It is recommended that when the farmer builds the chicken house, the ground should also be set as a cement surface to facilitate cleaning and disinfection.
2. Keep it clean and dry: the farmer should pay attention to the clean and dryness of the house, clean it, and clear the manure. The manure is the key to the ammonia in the house. Therefore, digesting the manure can reduce the ammonia in the house.
3. Do a good job of ventilation and ventilation: reasonable and effective ventilation can remove the harmful gases from the chicken house, so the ventilation work of the house is very important. In particular, winter farmers should not think about heat preservation, not only to prevent cold insulation, but also to pay attention to ventilation.
4. Controlling the density of chickens: The number and density of chickens raised by farmers will also have a great impact on the healthy growth and production of laying hens and broilers. Therefore, when using poultry battery cages to raise chickens, the stocking density should not be too large. It is 30 square feet per square meter, 2 weeks old, 2 weeks old, 3 weeks old, 4 weeks old, 25 years old, 5 weeks old, 8 weeks old, 12 years old. Only 8 weeks old, 9 weeks old, 18 weeks old, and 6 after 19 weeks old. In addition, farmers should also pay attention to the fact that the chicken cages in the chicken house should not be placed too crowded.
5. Optimize the diet structure: Feeds fed to laying hens and broilers should be prepared according to the nutritional needs of the chickens. Avoid the lack or excess of nutrients in the diet. Pay special attention to the fact that the crude protein level in the diet should not be too high, otherwise it will cause a surplus of supply and discharge too much nitrogen. In addition, the feed should be appropriately increased according to the feeding condition of the chicken to prevent the mold from being moldy in the trough for a long time.
6. Adding biological agents: During the daily feeding process, the farmers can add enzyme preparations and the like to the feed. It can improve the utilization of feed protein, reduce the conversion of protein to ammonia and amine, and greatly reduce the excretion of nitrogen in the feces, thereby improving the air quality in the house and saving feed.
The above six points are the authors telling the farmers. When using chicken cages to raise chickens, some points and methods of environmental control of the house are only for reference by farmers. The environment of the chicken house will directly affect the health of the chickens, so the farmers must control the environment of the chicken house, so that the chickens have a comfortable space to grow and produce.
