At present, the aquaculture industry is developing rapidly, but the raising of chickens is becoming more and more difficult. Often, a group of chickens are reared until the final rate of death is high, and there are not many chickens left. The high mortality rate of brood chicks during the brooding period is a big problem for farmers. Here are some opinions on the feeding of chickens.
Brooding temperature fluctuations
“There is money to buy medicines and no money to buy coal†is a big mistake for many farmers. Many farmers are afraid of burning coal, which makes it difficult to control the temperature, resulting in many diseases for the chicks. Temperature is too high, body heat and water dispersal of chicks are not affected, appetite is reduced, respiratory diseases are easy to develop, growth and development are slow, and mortality rate is increased; at too low temperature, chicks cannot maintain body temperature balance and crowd each other, causing some chicks to breathe Difficulty, the yolk stops absorbing or even dies.
Excessive density squeezes each other
As the density is too large, the number of feeders and drinking fountains is small, the placement is improper or the environment is mutated, there are foreign body stimuli, etc., which often leads to crowding of chickens. There can be 30 to 40 animals per square meter, and as the age increases, about 5 can be decremented per week. They should also be bred in groups based on the breed, size, and strength of the chicken so as not to squeeze each other.
Disease prevention is not in place
Farmers seldom pay attention to the sterilization of daily brooding equipment such as insulation equipment, chutes, and drinking fountains, and cannot timely immunize chickens against Newcastle disease and immunize them. Inoculation of bursa of Fabricius and chickenpox is not timely. Broiler's ferret and coccidiosis are two diseases in the brooding stage. Farmers often do not grasp the time and methods well. It is too late to take measures until the symptoms appear.
Feed type monotonous nutrition is not comprehensive
The nutrition of chickens is the most important. Once animal protein, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids cannot meet the nutritional needs of the chicks, it will seriously hinder the growth and development of the chicks, showing a weak body, a slow growth rate, and even a corresponding nutritional deficiency. According to the nutritional needs of the chicks and the local feed sources and types, full-price feeds should be prepared according to local conditions.
Poor sanitation
Farmers generally do not pay much attention to the health of chicken coops. The litter on the ground of the chicken house is not replaced for a long period of time. It is not cleaned regularly. The temperature in the house is too high, the humidity is high, chicken manure is piled up, and the pathogens and parasite eggs survive for a long time. Infectious diseases and parasites Insect disease is easily transmitted, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. We must do a good job in the health of chicken coops, timely remove house waste and litter, keep chicken coops dry, and regularly disinfect chicken houses and utensils, and then give drug prevention and treatment to effectively control the spread of diseases.
Do not pay attention to ventilation
The air in the brooding room should be kept fresh. Due to the high metabolic rate of chickens in the new city, the chickens emit a lot of carbon dioxide. In addition, the feces from the chickens evaporate a lot of ammonia. If the concentration is too high, it will also cause illness. The brooding house should pay attention to ventilation and ventilation, but it should not allow the air to be directly blown into the shed, especially when the outside temperature is low, it is necessary to prevent the cold wind from blowing in, so as to avoid catching colds in the chicks.
The majority of farmers only learn in practice, sum up experience, and conduct scientific feeding and management, can effectively reduce the death of chickens. Reduced mortality can lead to better benefits.
