Chicks refer to the chicken flocks that have just been born. The raising of chicks is a stage that every breeder of broiler chickens must go through. However, because the chicks are young, their physiological functions are poor, and their resistance is also very low. To get a better survival rate, they need to be carefully and scientifically raised by the farmers to ensure the growth of the chicks. In this way, a solid foundation is laid for adult chickens. Then, the chicken cages equipment supplier will teach the farmers the key points of scientifically raising chicks.
- When the chicks are transported to the brooding house, boiled water must be used first, and then the two principles of “boiling water first, then food” are carried out. The reason is that a part of the egg yolk has not yet been absorbed by the chicks after they emerge. Drinking water can accelerate the metabolism of this nutrient. The starter chicken feed for feeding chicks should be a full-price compound chicken feed with rich nutrition, easy digestion and strong palatability. The trough should be sufficient, and the number of feedings should be gradually reduced according to the increase in age. Due to the poor digestive function of chicks, they cannot overeating. If overeating will cause indigestion and cause digestive tract diseases, feed 80% full.
- Controlling the environment of the chicken house is an important key to ensuring the health of chicks. When raising chicks, control the ventilation, light and disease occurrence of the chicken house. Fresh air enters the chicken house, so that the chicken house can reach a fresh and comfortable environment, so that the chicks can grow healthily. During the growth period, reasonable light can promote growth and bone development, prevent diseases, and improve production performance. The young chicks are small and have poor disease resistance. Once a disease occurs, the infection will be rapid, the mortality rate will be high, and the loss will be large. Therefore, farmers need to do the disinfection of the chicken house and the immunization of the chicks, and the idea that prevention is better than cure Only then can the chicks be healthier.
- Breeders must control the temperature, humidity and density in the chicken house; the appropriate temperature is the key to raising the chicks. In addition, the density of the chicks must also be based on the breed, season, sex, and structure of the chicken house, ventilation conditions and feeding Flexible control of methods and so on.
The above is a shared scientific method of raising chicks. When the chicks are raised to the age of 20 days, they can be raised in battery chicken cages. This breeding method is more convenient to manage, and farmers can also scientifically manage more than 10,000 chickens.
