To build a chicken farm, we should first determine the scale of breeding based on local natural conditions and our own economic capabilities. How many chickens are raised, how many chicken farms are set up, the nature and tasks of the establishment are clearly defined, and then the site and equipment and equipment for the house are selected. There are various types of buildings and equipment in the chicken house. When choosing, it is necessary to consider the needs of fully satisfying the physiological characteristics of broilers, so that they can grow rapidly and improve productivity. It must also consider durability, easy feeding and management, and improve work efficiency.
1. Site selection
Whether the construction of the chicken house is scientific and reasonable is directly related to the production capacity of the broiler chicken and the profit of raising the chicken. Therefore, it must be paid attention to. If you want to build a new chicken farm, you should choose a place with dry terrain, good soil, north facing south, and leeward sun. This is good for winter insulation, four seasons ventilation, light and drainage. If you still want to expand the scale, you should leave room for development.
2. Traffic
The transportation to the chicken farm should be convenient, and the road should be good, so that the feeding of chickens, feed, litter and other materials can be carried out and the broilers and feces can be transported out.
3. Water and electricity
Water and electricity are essential conditions for the production of chickens. When choosing a chicken farm, you must consider whether the electricity can meet the needs of the peak production. It is not possible to have a long power outage, especially when the brooder needs temperature and light. The power outage will cause the chicken to die due to low temperature. The water should be clean and non-polluting. It is best to use deep water wells or disinfected tap water. Unsterilized river water, pond water or water containing excessive amounts of chloride ions should not be given to chickens.
4. Epidemic prevention
Chicken farms should be built away from villages or livestock farms 1 km or more to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases. Individual chicken farmers should not set the chicken house in the frequent or living areas of the past. It is best to have a small isolation section to eliminate the entry and exit of the outsiders.
Spring is a boom period for raising chickens. Most people choose to build poultry raising equipment in chicken houses. Using chicken cages can bring greater profits on the same area of land.
