Summer has arrived, and the temperature is rising day by day. Summer is a difficult season for chickens in chicken cages. If chicken farmers do not take timely cooling work in summer, it will cause heat stress in the chickens and directly affect the production. Egg performance and growth and development, so the farmers began to cool down the various methods in the summer, but some methods of cooling are not scientific, farmers need to pay attention, the following authors will introduce the chicken battery cages chicken house cooling mistakes, Avoid unfamiliarity affecting flock growth and production.
1. Many farmers raise a lot of leafy trees around the house in order to cool the house. Farmers think that this can make the leaves cover the sun. Although the starting point is good, if there are too many trees, it will appear. Many birds are around the house, so the chance of an outbreak will increase, so this is not a good way to cool down. It is recommended that farmers do not.
2. In summer, the temperature is high, and the chickens drink a lot of water. Therefore, when the feces are discharged every day, there will be granulated feed. Many farmers choose to process the feed in order to avoid feeding and not digest, which is considered to be beneficial for digestion. However, it is not correct. In summer, the amount of water consumed by chickens is increased. It is normal to carry out granules when it is discharged. If the farmers process the feed too fine, the palatability of the feed will change. Poor, then the feed intake of the flock will be reduced and the impact will be greater, so the farmers must not do so.
3. Because of the large amount of drinking water in summer, farmers are directly immunized by drinking water in order to prevent and cure infectious diseases. This is not correct. In the summer, the resistance of the chickens to the outside world will be significantly reduced, and it is prone to occur in various infectious diseases such as Escherichia coli and Newcastle disease. Although it is necessary to vaccinate the chickens. However, which kind of vaccination method the farmer chooses depends on which method is suitable for immunization, which depends on the actual situation and is not determined casually.
4. Summer cooling can help the chicken to cool down by increasing the humidity on the body of the chicken and the ground. However, if the humidity of the chicken house is greater than 72%, the chicken house will cause sultry heat, and the feathers will become sticky and easy to cause diseases. If the relative humidity is less than 45%, the dust inside the house will fly, and the chicken is prone to respiratory diseases, so the farmers use water spray and It is not a long-term cooling method. It is recommended that the farmer still install a wet curtain to cool down better, can control the cooling time and temperature, and is a relatively energy-saving and efficient cooling method.
The above is the misunderstanding of the farmers in the process of raising chickens in the summer poultry battery cages. It is hoped that the farmers who have these misunderstandings can correct them, correctly and reasonably cool down, so that the chickens can survive in summer, thank you for your attention. !
