Like other animals, When using drugs for chickens, we should calculate the dose according to individual body weight. Although it is very simple to add calculated drugs to feed and drinking water, it is sometimes difficult to meet the individual needs of chickens because the concentration of these drugs is calculated based on the normal amount of water or feed intake of chickens, so this The breeding chicken is not very suitable for the period of restriction.

For example, when a commercial broiler is fed at the age of 5 weeks, it can consume more than 120 grams of feed per day, while the feed intake of broilers of the same age is only half. In addition, if the 3.5 kg weight of the breeding hen after the peak period of the egg production is more than 160 grams, it is only half of the free feed intake. In this way, these breeders will not be able to get their expected drug dose.

Chicken layer cages provides a good production and living environment for laying hens. It can better display the production potential of laying hens, reduce disease transmission and infection, and facilitate management.
1. The best time to put a hen into a cage.
In order to ensure that the weight of young laying hens does not affect the opening and increasing of eggs, the laying hens are usually in 13-18 weeks old fashion cages (the latest is not later than 20 weeks old), and the chickens can be easily managed when they grow well. In 60-day-old fashion cages or grouped by weight and grouped in batches.
2. Inspection and maintenance of chicken layer cages equipment.
After the laying hens are installed, they generally do not change their living environment. Therefore, the hens should strictly inspect the corresponding facilities or equipment before loading the cages. Equipment that does not have maintenance value should be replaced in time to prevent it from reaching its function during use or during use. Claim.

3. To prevent the increase of morbidity.
When the laying hens are caged, due to improper operation or temperature difference, the immune system is often reduced and the incidence rate is increased. Therefore, cages should be installed at night. At the same time, the methods of raising temperature, improving nutrition, and drug prevention are used to prevent the disease. The rate rose.
4. Control parasites.
Laying hens generally use the corresponding insect repellent to control parasites at 60 days and 120 days of age respectively. In order to save labor intensity and increase the control effect of parasites, a certain amount of insect repellent is generally used when loading cages. Feed separately.

First, use chicken cage feeding.

Cage farming is the use of stacked or stepped cages to keep broilers in cages.

From the shell to the sale are kept in the cage. With age and weight Increase, generally can adopt the method of transfer layer and cage. battery cages for chickens generally use hard plastic baskets as single cages, and stepped cages are made of metal and plastic mesh sheets are laid on the bottom.

Cage Supporting Facilities: Waterline, automatic feed line.

Equipping cage equipment with excrement conveyor belt

Second, mixed feeding.

The method of mixed rearing is to use cages before 3 weeks of age, and after 3 weeks of age, the chickens are transferred to ground litter or raised on the net.

The combination of cage raising and flat raising has both the advantages of two feeding methods, and has promotion value for medium and small batches of broiler chickens. But in the middle, it needs to be transferred. It is troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it can easily hurt chickens.

The best is the best. Any type of rearing method currently has its applicable area or type of production and management, and there are no absolute advantages or disadvantages. After fully

understanding the various feeding methods, the breeding households should choose the most suitable one based on their own economic and material conditions. The way of feeding.

First, ground litter leveling.
In traditional broiler farming, ground litter leveling is the most important feeding method.
The floor of the house is cleaned and thoroughly sanitised. After drying, a thick layer of litter is laid on the ground of the house. Broilers live on litter from the entrance to the sale, including feeding, drinking, activities, and rest.
Common litter: sawdust, shavings

Second, net raising.
In the hen house, a net rack is erected at a certain height from the ground, a plastic net is laid on the net rack, and chickens live on the net.
The chicken droppings fall to the ground through the mesh or the gap between the bars, accumulate a feeding cycle and are cleared once the chickens are slaughtered. In the early days, the online leveling was generally operated by hand. Nowadays, large-scale farming is generally equipped with automatic water supply, feeding, cleaning and other mechanical equipment.

First, the ground can be disinfected with 10% lime water or 2% hot caustic soda water. The proportion of bacteria poisoning enemy or extermination spirit is 1:300, 5% to 10% of the stinking water spray, and the ground and walls should be wet firstly when disinfected. It is worth noting that, if use of two or more disinfectants should be separated by 3 to 4 days.

Second, the trough, sink or other utensils can be used 3% of the Soviet Union or 0.1% benzalkonium bromide solution soak for 2 hours, then wash dry and spare.

Third, the sheds were formalized with formalin and potassium permanganate. Per square meter of space with 15 grams of potassium permanganate, formalin 30 ml, temperature 22 degrees Celsius to 32 degrees Celsius, relative humidity 70%, when the disinfection of closed doors and windows fumigation for 24 hours, and then venting.
