Because the temperature in summer is relatively high, if you do not pay attention to the management of cooling work, it will easily cause heat stress. The heat stress of chicken will directly affect the growth and production of chickens, affecting economic benefits, so it must be done. Good summer house cooling work to avoid stress.
1. Symptoms: When there is heat stress, the body temperature will rise, and the mouth will start to gasp and the breathing will be difficult. Serious chickens may also appear paralyzed.
2, prevention measures: First of all, prevention is the main point, the main points of prevention and control of heat stress are:
(1) Improve the environment of the automatic poultry farming: When the temperature is relatively high, the ventilation work for the house should be strengthened in time, and a reasonable egg cage should be kept in a proper density. The wet curtain equipment can be installed to cool the house.
(2) Timely adjustment of feed formula: Under high temperature, the feed intake of the flock will decrease, so the feed will be eaten less, and the nutrients needed in the chicken group will not meet the requirements. The farmers should adjust the feeding at the right time. .
(3) Change the feeding time: You can choose to feed in the morning and evening to prevent the body temperature from increasing due to feeding, which will aggravate the heat stress, and at the same time increase the feed intake and improve the body resistance.
(4) Supply sufficient cool drinking water: continuously supply low-temperature well water as much as possible at high temperature. After drinking, the chicken can significantly reduce body temperature and prevent heat stress.
