What should we do to raise broiler in poultry cages in summer?
It’s midsummer with high temperatures and humid climate. And it’s the season of arrogant breeding of all kinds of bacteria. However, there are a lot of broilers in poultry farming cages. And the disease is very harmful. So how can we ensure the broiler chicken in the environment of high temperature and humidity in summer? Survival rate? This is a precaution for chicken farmers to understand.
Ensure adequate drinking water
In summer, the temperature is high, and broiler flocks need more drinking water. In addition, the water should be kept clean. Unclean water can easily cause diseases. Therefore, chicken farmers should pay more attention to the drinking water of broilers in summer to ensure that the water source is sufficiently clean.
Feeding period
When feeding feed in summer, it is generally placed in the morning or evening, and do not feed at noon. Because when the chickens eat the feed, the heat that needs to be dissipated is very large, especially for the chicken house raised in the chicken battery cages. Therefore, chicken farmers should avoid feeding the chickens during periods of high heat dissipation.
Reduce the density of the chicken house
If high-density breeding is added under high temperature conditions, heat stress reaction is likely to occur. Therefore, we must appropriately reduce the breeding density of broiler chicken, and chicken farmers must promptly find and eliminate those sick, weak and defective chickens. On the one hand, it is beneficial to reduce the density, on the other hand, sick broilers may affect the overall health of broilers.
Heatstroke prevention and cooling
First, you can add heatstroke prevention and cooling products to the feed to avoid a lot of heatstroke in broilers when the temperature is too high. Second, pay attention to ventilation when the temperature is too high. If the temperature does not drop at this time, a water curtain is needed to cool down. The chicken farmers must pay attention to the temperature and humidity balance. When the humidity is too high, the fan must be tightened. Third, if the temperature is too high, the use of water curtains and fans is still of no avail. You can use spray to cool the chicken house, but pay attention to this method and ensure that the chicken house is well ventilated.
Focus on feed
In summer, high temperature and humidity and also has a lot of rain, the feed is easy to mold and deteriorate. In addition, in order to ensure that the feed will not be moldy after it has not been eaten for a long time after entering the feed trough, the feed trough should be cleaned once a day.
Breeding broilers in poultry cages in summer requires more careful care from the breeder, and requires more patience and energy than usual. The above is a summary of the areas that should be paid attention to in summer broiler farming, and I hope it can help some farmers.
