Essential Points in Raising Chickens
In the process of raising chickens, we should pay attention to some details of raising chickens so as to better raise chickens, especially now we use Poultry Rearing Equipment to raise chickens, thus reducing labor force and paying more attention to details.
First of all, what is indispensable in the chicken farm is that the beak of the chicken is broken, the main purpose of which is to prevent the evil addiction of beak and feather, beak and anus, blood feeding and so on. Reasons for beak mania: too high feeding density; The indoor light is too strong; Lack of food and water tanks; The crude fiber content is too low; Poor ventilation and habits of chickens. Beak breakage is usually performed at the age of 6-9 days. In order to prevent excessive bleeding during beak breakage, 2mg/kg vitamin can be added to the feed two days before beak breakage.
The main purpose of feeding chickens in battery cage for chickens is to control their growth and sexual maturity. When chickens eat, they all have excessive intake, which not only causes economic losses, but also promotes chickens to accumulate fat and become overweight, thus affecting the laying ability of adults. Limited feeding can make sexual maturity timely and synchronous, and can save 10%~15% of feed at the same time. Feeding starts from 6 to 8 weeks and ends at 18 to 20 weeks.
Low-yielding chickens should be eliminated at any time in the breeding farm. In order to save feed and improve the economic benefits of raising chickens, it is necessary to eliminate low-yielding chickens reasonably. If there are still some chickens that haven’t given birth 5~6 weeks after the birth, they can be eliminated in time. The elimination of low-yielding chickens should be carried out 40 weeks after the start of the season. Deworming is an important link in lay hen feeding management. It can not only reduce feed waste and feeding cost, but also effectively prevent various intestinal parasites of chickens and ensure the healthy growth of chickens. In general, it is appropriate to carry out deworming twice, the first time at 7-8 weeks of age and the second time at 17-19 weeks of age before the start of chicken. Levamisole 25~30mg/kg can be used for one-time feeding.
