Farmers know that chickens should be carefully and carefully cultivated during the chicken period. The management of chicks is not only related to the survival rate of chicks, but also has an important impact on future production performance and economic benefits. Especially the temperature control when breeding chicks is even more important. Based on the experience of poultry farming equipment manufacturers, the authors summarized the temperature requirements for the use of chicks and now share them with farmers.
1. Temperature is the primary condition for the normal development of chicks. The principle of broiler chicken is high in the early stage and low in the late stage; the weak young is high, the strong young is low; the small group is high, the large group is low; the rainy days are high, the sunny days are low; the night is high and the daytime is low.
2. The change of temperature should be gradually and steadily according to the growth of the age and the temperature. It is absolutely impossible to change the fluctuations.
3. At the beginning, the temperature is higher. Do not have too much difference with the temperature of the hatching and hatching. Otherwise, the chicks will not be able to move because they are not suitable for the pile, and they will not eat more, so there is no way to grow normally.
4. The brooding temperature from 1 day to 2 days is generally between 4 ° C and 35 ° C. The brooding temperature is at the height of the chicken back or five centimeters on the net. The temperature in the house is between 27 ° C and 29 ° C. In the next seven days, it can drop by 3 °C, and by the twenty-eighth day, the temperature will drop to about 21 °C, and then the temperature will be maintained.
5. In the process of cooling, we must pay attention to maintaining a balanced cooling, and also consider the changes in the weather. The cooling rate is too slow, which is not conducive to the growth of chick feathers. Lowering the temperature too fast will make the chick uncomfortable, slowing its growth rate and increasing death.
6. Whether the brooding temperature is suitable mainly depends on the behavior of the flock. It can not be measured by the temperature alone, mainly according to the behavior of the chicks, and it is necessary to adjust the temperature of the chicks. When the temperature is right, the chick is lively and vigorous, and it is full of spirit. It is not only light and smooth, but also has a smooth appetite. The appetite is good, the drinking water is moderate, and its feces are strip-like.
The above is some of the author’s needs for chickens when using chicken cages to raise chickens. Farmers should be flexible and not to apply these methods.
