How to raise chickens in autumn and winter

There are many windy weather in autumn and winter, what problems should be paid attention to by chicken farmers and how to do well? In the autumn and winter seasons, especially in winter, there are more windy weather. We all know that ventilation has a great impact on the success of raising chickens in winter. In many articles, chicken farmers have seen articles that should pay attention to ventilation in the winter, or how harmful gases will affect the health of the flock. Since it is all wind, the wind will definitely affect the ventilation of the house, and the impact is still great.

What is the danger of winter wind on the chicken house and poultry cage equipment?

The biggest hazard caused by windy weather in winter chicken houses is cold stress. Even people, in the cold winds of winter, can tremble with chills, let alone chickens that are easy to stress. If a strong wind blows, the chicken farmers are not well coped, the flocks are severely cold-stressed, and the respiratory tract is stimulated to cause various respiratory diseases. The immunity is reduced and various chicken diseases are easy to find. This is the core cause of the frequent outbreak of chicken disease after windy.

Chicken house measures to deal with windy diseases

Therefore, coping with the windy weather in autumn and winter is a technology that chicken farmers must master in winter. Fortunately, this is a matter of wind, there is a weather forecast that can be known in advance, and chicken farmers can prepare early. Knowing the fact that the wind is going to be strong next, the chicken farmers should be prepared according to the direction of their own chicken houses, the wind direction and the wind that will be blown, mainly to avoid letting the cold wind blow into the chicken when the windy weather arrives.

Chicken Breeding Technology-Summer Chicken Management Points

During the summer season, the weather is hot, which often causes the chickens to eat less, grow slowly, reduce egg production, and even cause chickens to die. Based on the experience of integrated poultry farming equipment manufacturers, talk about your own opinions on the management of chicken management in summer.
 
1. Change the ambient temperature.

The optimum egg laying temperature for laying hens is 13-25 degrees, while the summer temperatures generally exceed 25 degrees. Therefore, changing the ambient temperature and creating a good microclimate for laying hens is a top priority for chicken farmers in summer. The specific method is to do a good job of greening in the spring, planting trees and vines around the house to clear the weeds around the house; before the summer season, build a pergola on the sunny side of the house; The exterior wall is painted white! Brush it in white to reduce heat absorption by dissolving 0.50 kg of salt with 46 kg of water, adding 40 kg of lime, 4.2 kg of white cement, adding 68 kg of water, stirring evenly, painting or spraying the roof and External wall, this method can reduce the temperature in the house by 1.5-2 degrees. In addition, we must pay attention to strengthen the ventilation of the house, convective heat dissipation, conditional installation of the wet curtain, and vertical ventilation to cool down.

2. Disinfect the chicken spray.

In the case of continuous high temperature, especially in the field where the number of chickens is concentrated! "It is best to install spray equipment in the chicken house. Generally, the two water pipes are 6 meters apart, and a nozzle is installed every 3 meters on the water pipe. When the weather is hot at noon. Spray several times, can reduce the temperature of 3-5 degrees ' (Note: to choose a highly effective, non-irritating, low-odor disinfectant, so as not to induce chicken respiratory disease).
 
3. Reduce the stocking density.

Increase the number of drinking fountains and feeding area. In the summer, it is necessary to clean up the flocks in time and eliminate sick, disabled, weak chickens and fake hens to reduce the stocking density and feeding costs.

4. Shearing and cooling.

Chickens do not have sweat glands, and the way to lower their body temperature is to dissipate heat by speeding up breathing, opening the mouth and wings. Therefore, at night, the feathers of the neck, back, wings, chest and abdomen, inner thighs, etc., which affect heat dissipation, can be cut off. The principle of shearing is as follows: the depth of the shearing is not to damage the skin and the large capillary tube does not flow after cutting. The long tail of the chicken tail and the long feather of the chicken wing should not be cut, and the cut in the early summer is less, and the cut in the summer.
