With the development of society, people are more and more aware of the importance of the environment, and many countries are paying more and more attention to environmental protection. Now the mode of poultry breeding is also changing to environmental protection. The use of modern poultry farming equipment can enable chickens to be managed in an orderly manner, and the chicken manure can be treated harmlessly and with a recycling effect, which is very beneficial to environmental protection.

At this stage, most of the automatic battery cage systems are three-tier or four-tier. The farmers of this tier of chicken cages are very convenient for chicken management. Now the poultry farming equipment has formed a systematic, complete and automatic system, so for farmers with a large number of farms, the use of poultry equipment to develop the breeding industry is a very good opportunity.

Modern poultry systems include poultry cage system, poultry water supply system, poultry feeding system, poultry manure removal system, poultry egg collection system, poultry environmental control system, poultry management system, etc.

In addition, the poultry manure removal system and the egg collection system are respectively arranged on both sides of the net cage support system, and the manure removal system automatically removes the manure to the outside of the breeding equipment. The egg collection system arranges and arranges the produced egg collection on its own, and places it on the egg tray. Multiple systems cooperate with each other and operate in an orderly manner, realizing a larger-scale automated breeding.

The poultry systems cooperate with each other to allow farmers to create more profits while reducing costs, and make the poultry farming industry more environmentally friendly.

The layer hen cages are kept at all stages of the laying period. According to the laying stages of laying hens, it is divided into pre-laying period, mid-laying period and late-laying period. Next, we will bring you the feeding and management of each stage of layer cage breeding.

Early stage of laying. Usually, 21-24 weeks of age is the expected date of delivery, and adult chickens are transferred from the ground to the three-dimensional cage of the laying hen house. At this point, the pre-installed paper feeding starts. The calcium content in the diet should be increased from 1% to 2%. During this period, the chicken's ovaries and secondary sexual characteristics developed rapidly, and the feed intake increased significantly. It must be allowed to eat freely to meet its nutritional needs. At present, there are two ways to provide nutrition to laying hens: one is to adjust the supply of nutrients in the diet according to the gradual increase in egg production rate. The other is to start as early as possible when the egg production rate reaches 5-10%. At this stage, Newcastle disease, avian influenza, egg drop syndrome and other vaccines should also be vaccinated in accordance with the immunization program to prevent postpartum immunization from affecting egg production.

Mid-laying period. 25-42 weeks of age is the mid-laying period. Under normal management conditions, the egg production rate of 23-24 weeks old chickens should reach 50%. During this period, the egg production rate will increase rapidly. Reach the peak period of egg production. The main task during the peak period of egg production is to maintain the stability of nutrient supply and the consistency of management work, avoid various stress factors, except for the breeding staff of the chicken house, other personnel are not allowed to enter the chicken house. The color of the breeder's clothes is relatively fixed, and materials, water or electricity cannot be cut off. The temperature must be uniform and appropriate, especially the environment must be quiet.

Late laying period. 43-72 weeks of age is the late stage of laying, and protein supply should be adjusted appropriately according to the drop in laying rate. Generally, when the egg production rate exceeds 85%, the daily protein intake of each chicken is 18 grams; when the egg production rate drops to 80-75%, the daily protein intake of each chicken is reduced to 16 Gram; When the egg production rate drops to 70-65%, each chicken needs to eat 14 grams of protein per day. In addition, due to the hot summer weather, the appetite of laying hens is reduced and the feed intake is reduced. Therefore, the protein level in the diet should be appropriately increased. Winter is cold, and the energy required to maintain body temperature increases. Therefore, the metabolizable energy level of the feed should be appropriately increased to avoid affecting the egg production rate.

The above is the management of the early, middle and late stages of laying eggs in the shared layer cage. Farmers must not only strengthen the management of the chicken house, but also play the role of automatic chicken raising equipment to make chicken raising a relaxed and happy thing.

1. Strengthen the disinfection of chicken cage and equipment

According to the chicken house and the date of receiving the chickens, arrange the preparation work progress of washing, cleaning, disinfection and empty house reasonably. Generally, the next batch of broiler chickens will be entered at least 2 weeks after the sale to ensure the preparation of the chicken house. And enough empty house time.

2, the choice of chicks

Choosing young ones must choose strong young ones, and eliminate weak young ones and remnant and abnormal young ones. The characteristics of the strong young are: well-developed, clean and shiny feathers, dry, lively and active, the cry is clear and loud, the eyes are big and energetic, the standing firm, the hand grip is strong, the reaction is quick, the abdomen is soft and elastic, and the umbilicus is well healed , No bleeding marks. Weak chicks are lacking in energy, have loose feathers, close their eyes and shrink their heads, stand unsteadily, and have eggs.

The yellow is not absorbed well, the umbilicus is protruding, and there are bleeding marks.

3, environmental control

The environment has a great influence on the growth of the chicks, especially after the autumn, the temperature gradually decreases, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, and the stress on the chicks is strong, so you should be extra careful at this stage.

4. Drinking water management

It must be ensured that it is not contaminated by E. coli and other pathogenic microorganisms. Drink warm water at the same room temperature for the first week, then use deep well water or tap water. Appropriately add 2.5%～5% glucose, brown sugar and multivitamins for broilers in the drinking water in the first 3 days; after the chicks enter the brooding room, they must drink water for 3 to 4 hours and then start the first feeding; the drinking fountains should be placed evenly and at a moderate height. Clean and disinfect 1 to 2 times a day, and the storage time of water tanks and buckets should not exceed 3 days; try to record the daily drinking water amount. If the drinking water amount is abnormal, it is often a sign of abnormal feeding management or disease in the flock.

Intensive chicken farming has become the main method of modern farming. So what kind of chicken house should be built for intensive chicken farming? I will share it with you today.

The types of chicken houses are basically divided into two types, one is an open type chicken house, and the other is a sealed type chicken house.

Open chicken house: The most common form is a chicken house with windows on all sides, large windows on the south wall, and small windows on the north wall. There is no setting on the south side and sports field. Most of these chicken house are naturally ventilated and light, and the indoor temperature and humidity basically change with the seasons. Due to the limited natural ventilation and light, chicken houses such as production management towels are often equipped with ventilation and lighting equipment to supplement the lack of ventilation and light under natural conditions. The windows of an open chicken house should be set on the front and back walls, and the front windows should be wide and low from the ground to facilitate lighting. The ratio of windows to floor area is 1:10~1:8. The rear window should be small, about 2/3 of the area of ​​the front window, which can be high from the ground, and it is ventilated in summer.

Sealed chicken house: also known as windowless chicken house. The roof and walls of this chicken house are well insulated, and there are no windows on all sides. The indoor environment is adjusted by manual or instrument control. The chicken house adopts artificial ventilation and light, and by changing the size of the ventilation, the indoor temperature, humidity and air composition are controlled. The sealed chicken house has no windows, only emergency windows and ventilation.

House span, length and height: The span of the chicken house depends on the form of the roof of the chicken house, the type of chicken cages and the feeding method. The general span is 6 to 10 meters in open chicken house and 12 to 15 meters in closed chicken coops. The length of the chicken house generally depends on the span of the chicken house and the degree of mechanization of management. A chicken house with a span of 6 to 10 meters, a chicken house with a length of 30 to 60 meters, a large span of 12 meters, and a length of 70 to 80 meters. A chicken house with a high degree of mechanization can be long, but generally it should not exceed 100 meters. Otherwise, the manufacture and installation of mechanical equipment are difficult, and the materials are difficult to solve.

The height of the chicken house depends on the feeding method, manure removal method, span and climatic conditions. In areas with small spans, dry maintenance and low heat, the chicken house does not need to be too high. Generally, the eaves of the chicken house are large with a span of 2.0 to 2.5 meters. For multi-layer cages, the height of the chicken house is about 3 meters. Or the uppermost chicken coop is 1~1.5 meters away from the roof, which is a suitable high-bed closed chicken house. The lower part is equipped with a manure pit with a height of 4.5~5 meters (1.8~2 meters higher than ordinary chicken houses).

The above is the type of chicken house that needs to be built for intensive chicken farming. Regardless of the type of chicken house, farmers need to purchase automatic poultry farming equipment.

In the process of raising chickens, when the chickens should be put out for slaughter, "catch the chicken" is a job that every farmer has to do. In addition, chicken flock immunization, transfer, slaughter, disease diagnosis, etc. all need to catch chickens.

1. Choose the time to catch the chicken. It is recommended that farmers choose to catch chickens in the morning and evening when the light is darker and the temperature is lower. Because the movement of the chicken is reduced in the dark environment, it is easy to be caught.
2. Remove the breeding equipment that affects the catching of chickens. Feeding troughs, water troughs and other facilities may affect the catching of chickens. Therefore, farmers can dismantle, raise or dismantle these facilities when catching chickens to prevent chickens from colliding while running and causing them to be injured.
3. Catch chickens in a small group. For users who use chicken battery cages to raise chickens, it is relatively simple. The number of chickens in the cage is limited and it is easier to catch chickens. Users who use other methods to raise chickens can use the screen before catching the chicken. Divide the sheep into small groups to reduce deaths from fright and crowding.
4. Actions should be brisk. In the process of catching chickens, farmers should capture the movements gently and quickly. For smaller chickens, you can hold the whole body directly with your hands, but not too tightly. For larger chickens, you can start by holding their legs behind their backs, turning them upside down and gently placing them in the basket. It is strictly forbidden to lift one leg by grasping the wings to avoid fracture.

The chicken cage manufacturers teach you this: When catching chickens in a chicken farm, you must master the technical knowledge, so as not to hurt yourself or the chickens in the process of catching the chickens, and at the same time bring pressure to the chickens.

Modern chicken farms are an important part of standardized large-scale chicken farming. Nowadays, fully automatic chicken raising equipment has been widely used in modern chicken farms. Why is fully automatic chicken breeding equipment so popular among farmers and the market?

 First of all, the use of fully automatic chicken farming equipment can effectively realize factory, standardization, standardized management and environmental automation control, so that many large chicken farming companies have benefited from teaching. Many practices have proved that the modern chicken industry uses fully automated chicken breeding equipment to make many chicken companies have a very high degree of automation in the daily chicken raising process, which can save land and labor resources in the factory. At the same time, it can provide good environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, light and ventilation) according to the chicken's production requirements and the chicken's growth and development rules to ensure the healthy growth of the chicken.

The modern chicken farm adopts fully automatic chicken raising equipment, which can effectively control the environment and is not susceptible to external adverse factors (high temperature, severe cold, strong wind, heavy rain), so that the chickens can grow and develop healthily in a stable environment and have the ability to resist risks. ability. The chicken farm implements closed-loop feeding management, which is conducive to the control of epidemic diseases and drug residues. This equipment can help farmers improve their feeding work and avoid repeating many tedious tasks. At the same time, it also ensures the full use of food, avoids problems such as feed spillage, and cultivates high-quality laying hens, which is conducive to protecting the health of consumers. In addition, when using fully automatic chicken raising equipment, according to the needs of the chickens, the input raw materials can be fed automatically without any spillage, which not only ensures the cleanliness and order of the chicken house, but also avoids the propagation of diseases and saves feed, avoid waste.

The above is the reason why the automated chicken raising equipment is welcomed by the farmers. Farmers can choose battery chicken cages, automatic manure removal equipment, automatic drinking water equipment, automatic feeding equipment, automatic egg collection equipment, etc., suitable for breeding farms.

Farmers who use layer cages to raise chickens need to manage the hen house. But managing chicken house is not an easy task. Today, I will share with you the misunderstandings that are easy to occur in daily management of using layer hen cages to raise chickens.

Regardless of whether it is the management of the chicken coop or the management of the chicken flock, it is very important. Improper management will affect the healthy growth and production of the chicken flock, and will naturally affect the efficiency of the farmers. Therefore, the battery chicken cage manufacturers will Summarized a few common processing gaps in the daily management of farmers, and hope that farmers can pay more attention to it.

Many farmers pay attention to disinfection, which makes the harmful gas and bacteria in the chicken house multiply, which seriously endangers the health of the chicken group. Farmers should regularly carry out reasonable disinfection of the chicken house, and pay attention to persistence. The chicken house is clean and often ventilated.

Adhering to a reasonable temperature and humidity around the layer cage is very important. Generally, farmers will ignore the adjustment of temperature, humidity and ventilation. They advocate ventilation at high temperatures and ventilation at high humidity. When there are large changes, first let the temperature rise by about two degrees. The right amount is the same for about half an hour, and so on.

The most important thing is that farmers must purchase high-quality chicken raising equipment. Chicken battery cages are mechanical equipment, and the price is relatively high. Therefore, some farmers, regardless of the quality of the cages of the layer cages and whether the structure is reasonable, buy the cheapest cages, thinking that they can reduce some costs, but the structure is poor. The chicken cages do not help the growth of the chickens, but will harm the chickens. Moreover, the service life of the cages of unreliable quality will not be very long, which invisibly increases the breeding cost.

The above are some misunderstandings that farmers should pay attention to when using poultry cages to raise chickens. It is hoped that they can attract the attention of farmers and pay more attention in management. Farmers can have time to learn the scientific and reasonable management skills of cage farming, so that their chickens can grow more healthily, and the farmers themselves can obtain better benefits.

We all know that there are many benefits to using chicken farming equipment to raise chickens. Reasonable use of breeding equipment can be used for a long time. So what should be done?

The chicken house environment control device is installed on the chicken breeding equipment to realize the reasonable regulation of the temperature and humidity in the chicken house. In order to ensure the thriving growth of chickens, the temperature of the chicken house should be controlled within a reasonable range by the chicken raising equipment.

The temperature control of the chicken breeding equipment requires different temperature requirements at different growth stages of the chicken: the chicken just out of the eggshell needs 32 degrees Celsius to 34 degrees Celsius. Later, as the week age increases, the temperature gradually decreases, that is, it decreases by about 2 degrees Celsius for every additional week of age, and it is advisable to maintain it at 21 degrees Celsius to 23 degrees Celsius by the sixth week. Temperature is related to the healthy growth and feed utilization of broilers.

Too high or too low brooding temperature will affect the absorption of egg yolk, resulting in reduced immunity of the chicks and easy infection of diseases. Too high temperature causes the chickens to drink more water and reduce feed intake. The temperature is too low. To maintain body temperature, the chickens increase feed consumption and reduce feed remuneration.

1. The chicken breeding equipment must work in strict accordance with the safety operating procedures, and cannot be overloaded. The safety and reliability of the equipment must be ensured. If there are unsafe factors, it should be eliminated in time;

2. Regular oil refueling or oil change, no dry friction phenomenon can occur, to ensure that the oil pressure is always at normal filling and the oil path is unblocked;

3. Tools should be placed neatly, and the lines and pipes should be organized;

4. Ensure that all parts of the equipment will not leak oil or air, and clean the surrounding debris.

With the gradual increase in market demand for chicken products, the use of automatic poultry farming equipment for intensive chicken farming has become the first choice for farmers to raise chickens, but is this the future development trend of the chicken industry?

In fact, intensive chicken farming is only one of the development directions. Here is a brief introduction to other development directions.

1. The leading industry of intensive aquaculture. In the past, laying hen farming was dominated by retail investors, and in the future, it will be dominated by large-scale chicken farms.
2. Automatic chicken breeding equipment has become the mainstream. From human-raised chickens to equipment-raised chickens, it means an increase in efficiency and an upgrade of the industry.
3. The industrialization of food. The laying hen industry is not a chicken industry, but a food industry. Food safety and brand will become important factors affecting the industry and enterprises. The more closely connected the consumer side is for laying hen companies, the easier it is to achieve a premium for egg products.
4. Green production. It is necessary to use the concept of green development to promote the formation of a new pattern of animal husbandry development with optimized laying hen production layout, efficient use of resources, good ecological environment, and safe product quality.
5. The Internet. In the future, the Internet will become an infrastructure like hydropower, ubiquitous, and profoundly affect our lives. The layer industry will also be deeply integrated with the Internet, and the layer companies that take the lead will have an advantage in the competition.

Nowadays, most of the breeding industry adopts large-scale breeding methods, and large-scale breeding is inseparable from the scientific construction of breeding farms. In addition to using automatic layer cages, there are also some breeding techniques for breeding layer hens. 

Now the use of layer cages to raise chickens is highly automated, time-saving, labor-saving, and cost-saving. It has the advantages of automatic feeding, drinking water, cleaning manure, wet curtain cooling, and centralized management. This will improve the breeding efficiency of the farmers, and at the same time, it can effectively manage the laying hens.

1. The breeder should adopt the method of expanding the group in cages in stages, that is to say, carry out the concentrated brooding in a small area for 21 days in the initial period of rearing, which can effectively save heating costs, and gradually expand the group after 21 days.
2. The breeder should research and design the corresponding reasonable and scientific feed formula according to the nutrient content required by the caged broiler to meet the growth and development needs of the chicken under such high-density caged conditions. The vitamins of the feed formula are increased by an average of 20% compared to the ground level standard, which is suitable for the needs of caged broilers.
3. The breeder should pay attention to the caged broiler house must be a fully enclosed house without windows. The air in the house is exhausted with an exhaust fan, and the fresh air enters the house through the air inlet. Artificial lighting is used in the house instead of natural lighting. When the temperature is high, the chicken house should be installed with a wet curtain to cool down. In the cold season, artificial heating or the heat of the chicken can be used to keep the temperature in the house within a comfortable range.
4. The chicken flock has good hygiene and anti-epidemic effects, which can effectively prevent chicken infectious diseases. Once it is discovered that the epidemic can be quickly controlled to prevent it from spreading, and the chicken does not touch the feces, it can make the chicken grow healthier and provide a clean and comfortable growth environment for the chicken. Great improvement.

This is the end of the skill of laying chicken cage shared by automatic poultry farming equipment manufacturers. I hope that the above sharing can help farmers to raise chickens.

In order to prevent chickens from heatstroke in hot weather, it is particularly important to use automatic chicken raising equipment to cool the chickens. When the external environment is improved, the cooling equipment in the chicken house will be used to a large extent. In order to avoid poultry diseases, we should pay more attention to epidemic prevention in chicken coops while cooling down. Due to the high density of poultry battery cages, high temperature mainly manifests as a decrease in feed intake and egg production rate for laying hens.

In fact, chicken farms with conditions can install cooling wet curtains for cooling operations. If we rely on spraying water, we should control the humidity. Excessive humidity is not conducive to cooling within the range of chicken breeding equipment. The pressure caused by low water temperature when spraying water can easily lead to colds or other diseases in chickens. A large number of experiments have proved that the environment of high temperature and high humidity is easier to breed microorganisms than the environment of high temperature and dryness, and it is easier to cause the feed to become damp and agglomerate or mold.

In order to help the chicken raising equipment cool down and relieve the chicken’s summer heat, it is necessary to add sodium bicarbonate to the drinking water to improve the chicken’s ability to resist heat stress. Improve the egg production rate and eggshell quality of chickens, but at the same time reduce the amount of salt fed to prevent chickens from taking in excessive sodium ions. Due to the large amount of drinking water in summer, which means that the intake of sodium bicarbonate is large, and excessive intake will cause poisoning, so it is added to the feed.

In order to prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases in the chicken flock in summer, it is necessary to inject drinking water into the chicken flock. In summer, due to the reduction of feed intake and the influence of high temperature, the resistance of chickens to the outside world is significantly reduced, so vaccinating chickens is a necessary preventive measure. In fact, the choice of vaccine depends on how the vaccine is suitable for immunization.

Chickens are most afraid of getting sick. Today, poultry cage equipment manufacturers will introduce in detail three methods to reduce chicken sickness.

First，develop a reasonable disinfection procedure: Because chickens live in the chicken house for a long time, feces, feed, dust, water and other dirt will cause the chicken house to reproduce a large number of pathogenic microorganisms, which will spread disease to the chickens, cause harm, and kill them. The main method of these pathogenic microorganisms is disinfection, so formulating a reasonable disinfection procedure is a key measure to reduce the occurrence of diseases, but it is not enough to disinfect once. It is necessary for farmers to disinfect regularly, and choose a good disinfection method and disinfection drugs. .

Second, do a good job of immunization: infectious diseases are more serious to the health of chickens, and once the chickens become ill, they may be transmitted to the chickens in the entire chicken coop, causing heavy losses. The current effective way to prevent infectious diseases is to treat the chickens. The flock is immunized, so the farmers must do a good job of immunization during the process of raising chickens, and formulate reasonable immunization procedures and methods according to the disease epidemic situation in the area and the actual situation of the chicken coop. This is also how to prevent chickens. The key point of the disease.

Third, use drugs to prevent diseases: For some infectious diseases, most farmers achieve the purpose of prevention through vaccination, while most bacterial diseases rely on the regular delivery of drugs to achieve the purpose of prevention. According to the situation of different diseases, different medication prevention procedures are developed.

The above is the effective way to prevent chicken from getting sick. Farmers who use poultry raising equipment to raise chickens must take measures to prevent chickens from getting sick.
