How to make chickens grow healthily under high temperature？
The high temperature in summer is a problem for farmers. The main problem is that the current continuous high temperature has caused chicken flocks under intensive breeding conditions to be prone to heatstroke. So how to let chickens survive the hot season safely?
- Improve the environment of the chicken house
The most important thing to improve the environment of the chicken house is to increase the humidity and reduce the temperature. The use of chicken battery cage density breeding should adopt longitudinal ventilation to cool down. Wet curtains and fans can be installed in the chicken house to make the air in the chicken house and outdoor air flow, so that the chickens feel cool.
Keep proper temperature and humidity in the chicken house. Pay attention to the reaction of the chickens, especially at noon. Because as the heat increases and the moisture evaporates, the humidity will continue to drop. In order to alleviate this situation, farmers can install water curtains on the longitudinal air outlets and use circulating water to cool down.
