Nowadays, there are more and more farms for raising chickens. Farmers can raise chickens according to the physiological characteristics of broilers. If you have a large number of broilers, you should use battery cage for broilers to raise chickens, and the farms should have convenient transportation. The location of the chicken farm should be chosen in a convenient place, the environmental conditions are good, and the water source is sufficient to give the chicken a good growth environment.
What are the benefits of using broiler cages?
The broiler cage has good heatstroke prevention performance: the individual chicken is small, but its metabolism is strong, and the body temperature is also high. For example, the heat resistance of the chicken house is not good. When the summer heat is too high, the temperature of the chicken cage is too high, and the heat of the chicken body is difficult to dissipate. The normal metabolism of the chicken body is disrupted, and the production level is lowered.
Good ventilation: maintain proper ventilation and airflow speed in the broiler cage, which is good for controlling the temperature of the house and facilitating the heat dissipation of the chicken body; excluding the exhalation and excretion of water from the chicken body. Maintain an environment with fresh air and a uniform temperature without thief.
Prevent excessive humidity: Keep the broiler cages dry, especially on flat ground and grass. The long-term humidity of the broiler cages weakens the disease resistance of the chicks, the feathers are fouled, the growth and development are slow, the coccidia oocysts are easy to develop, and the chickens live in moist environmental tissues all the year round, and the resistance will gradually decrease.
Appropriate density: The density of chicken battery cage for broilers is directly related to the health, growth and production performance of the birds.
What are the environmental conditions required for healthy breeding of broilers?
Environmental conditions are the basis for healthy farming of broilers. The environmental conditions of the house include temperature, humidity, ventilation, lighting, etc. Generally, the house temperature of 1 day to 2 days should be guaranteed at 33 °C ~ 35 °C, and the temperature of 1 week old should be 30 °C ~ 33 °C, and then drop by about 2 °C every week, and keep at 21 °C until 5 weeks of age. In order to avoid dehydration caused by high temperature and low humidity in the house, the humidity should be kept at 65%~70% in the first week. After two weeks, the humidity should be lowered, and finally maintained at 55%~60%. Pay attention to the ventilation of the chicken house. The temperature is mainly from 1 week to 3 weeks old, and it is properly ventilated. After 4 weeks of age, the ventilation is mainly used to maintain the proper temperature. In order to promote the feeding and growth of chickens, a
reasonable and effective lighting system should be adopted. From 1 day to 3 days old, 24-hour light is applied, and after 3 days of age, 23 hours of illumination is performed. The light-off time is better at 11:00 to 12:00.
