Five techniques that can be used to improve the survival rate of chicks
The survival rate of chicks is closely related to the income of farmers. Only by learning and mastering more breeding skills can the survival rate of chicks be high and grow fast. The following authors to tell the majority of farmers to use the poultry battery cages in spring Chicken’s precautions.
1. Strict disinfection
Prepare the nursery before taking the chicks.Rinse the trough drinking fountain with clean water, then rinse with hot alkaline water, rinse with clean water and dry for later use.The brood chamber cleaned with water, after being dry lay good bedding, in deference to appliances, with formalin 28 milliliters per cubic meter of space, potassium permanganate fumigation 14 grams, 14 ml water, 12 ~ 24 hours locked doors and Windows before you open a window ventilated take a breath, preheat temperature and 30 ℃ above can meet young home invasion.
2. Choose healthy chicks
Healthy chicks are generally lively and active, with strong legs, free movement, bright eyes and a good healing of the umbilical cord. The weaker chicks have foul feathers, lack of energy, close their eyes, nod off, and stand unsteadily.Be sure to pick healthy chicks when buying them.
3. Drink water
Chicks out of the shell after 24 hours can lose 8% of water, 48 hours can lose 15%, when the loss of water is greater than 15%, will soon appear dehydration symptoms.Therefore, chicks out of the shell 12 hours after the timely supply of adequate clean water.The first few days drink 0.01% of potassium permanganate water, from the disinfection of drinking water and clean up the gastrointestinal role, to promote fecal discharge.
4. Carefully feeding
Feed to palatability, easy to digest, fresh quality, moderate particle size.Chicks out of the shell within 12 to 24 hours to open food, open food can be used to break corn, millet, broken rice, broken wheat, etc., cooked to 80 mature feeding, conducive to the chick digestion.1~3 days old, feed every day and night 6~8 times, after 4 days old, feed every day 4~5 times, feed once at night.Gradually change to feed chicken mixture, in the feed mixed with some chopped green leaves or tender grass, feed amount of about 10% of the total feed, later gradually increase the feed amount to account for 20%~30% of the total feed.
5. Adjust temperature and humidity
Raise chicks appropriate temperature is: 1 weeks of 30 ℃ ~ 32 ℃, 28 ℃ ~ 30 ℃, 2 weeks 3 weeks 28 ℃, 25 ℃ ~ 22 ℃ to 25 ℃, 4 weeks after a week reduced 1.5 ℃ ~ 2 ℃, until the room temperature.Humidity within 1 week of age to maintain in 60%~65%, 1 week after 50%~60% is appropriate.If the chicken coop is too wet, some quick lime can be packed in a cloth bag and put in the room to absorb moisture.Too dry can put basin water on the stove, through the evaporation of water, increase indoor humidity.
