In the process of raising chickens with automatic chicken cages in summer, cooling the chicken coop is an important task. Scientific and effective cooling can ensure the health of chickens and a comfortable growth and production environment. Reduce the occurrence of stress response in chicken flocks caused by high temperature in summer. , But there are many farmers who are blindly doing cooling work because they are not proficient in cooling technology. The result was counterproductive. The following poultry chicken battery equipment manufacturers will tell the farmers about several common mistakes in the cooling of automatic chicken breeding equipment.
Only focus on heatstroke prevention and cooling of laying hens. Many farmers only pay attention to the cooling of laying hens and neglect the cooling of the rearing stage. I think it has little effect. In fact, this is wrong. As the breeding age of the chicks increases, the required environmental temperature gradually decreases. If the outside temperature of brooding chicks in the next summer is often above 30°C, when the environment temperature is too high, the feed intake of the chicks will also be reduced due to the high temperature. This will affect the growth and development of the chicks. In addition, for the laying hens at the rearing stage, the feed intake of each individual will be reduced due to the high temperature, and the weight of the chicken will be lighter, which will affect the egg production of the chicken.
Plant too many leafy trees. Many farmers plant trees around when constructing chicken coops, believing that they can provide shade and reduce the temperature of the chicken coop. Although the starting point is good. But with more trees, all kinds of birds, insects, mosquitoes and flies will increase. These insects are the transmission source of diseases and can cause major outbreaks in chicken farms. A good way is to use shading nets around the chicken house. If a wet curtain is installed in the chicken house, a shading net can be installed outside the wet curtain to prevent direct sunlight and weaken the cooling effect of the wet curtain.
The chicken feed is processed too finely. The high temperature in summer will cause the chickens to drink more water. Therefore, farmers can see pelletized feed when manure is produced every day. Farmers think that the chickens have not been digested, so they process the feed more finely. This is good for digestion. But this is a wrong idea. Because the water intake in summer is 4 times that in winter. Therefore, in summer, food intake decreases and water intake increases. It is normal that pellets of feed are discharged directly in the feces. Farmers need not worry too much. Because of the large amount of drinking water, chickens do not have special urination organs. Therefore, the drinking water will be quickly discharged with the cloaca, resulting in the shortening of the residence time of some feed in the digestive tract, and the incomplete digestion. If the chicken feed is processed too finely, the palatability will become poor. It will lead to a further reduction in chicken feed intake, which will have a greater impact.
Immunization of drinking water is not performed correctly. In order to prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases in chicken flocks in summer. Vaccination through drinking water. However, when immunizing drinking water, farmers should reasonably carry out the above internal immunization. The selection of vaccine, the correct method of preparation and drinking water immunization, etc., must be mastered by farmers. Otherwise, it is easy to fail in drinking water immunity.
The above-mentioned points are some of the wrong ideas and practices that the automatic chicken cage equipment manufacturers have summarized for the farmers when they use the automatic chicken breeding equipment to raise chickens in the summer. Hope that the farmers can avoid mistakes in the future breeding process through the above understanding.
