Daily management technology of caged broilers?

There are many ways to raise broilers, one of which is cage culture. How to manage the cage rearing of broilers? Let's take a look at what I have carefully recommended to you, hoping to help you.

Daily management of caged broilers

First, maintain good environmental conditions.

1. Keep the house dry, check the drinking water system frequently, and the drinking water device must not leak or overflow.

2. Keep the house clean and sanitary. Clean the feces at least once a day, and clean the feces at noon in cold season, so as to excrete ammonia in time.

3. The staff should be quiet in the house, don't have any special sounds, and try to avoid causing the commotion of the chickens.

4. The bulb should be cleaned once a week, and the broken bulb should be replaced in time to ensure proper illumination.

Second, observe the chicken.

The purpose of observing chickens is to master their health and appetite, pick out sick chickens, pick up dead chickens and check whether the feeding and management conditions meet the requirements.

1. Observe the feed intake of chickens at any time and calculate the daily feed consumption. If the feed intake of chickens decreases, it is necessary to find out the reasons in time and solve them.

2. Pick out the discontinued chickens. Discontinued chickens generally have small shriveled crowns, rough and pale faces, and yellow eyes and beaks. The main wing feathers have fallen off, the pubic space has become smaller, and the pubic bone has become thicker. Some underweight, obese, paralyzed and lame chickens should also be eliminated in time. If more paralyzed chickens are found, it is necessary to check the contents of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 in the diet and the mixing of feed.

3. Pick out sick chickens every day and observe the flocks. Chickens with poor appetite and slow movements should be picked out in time for isolation treatment. If a large group of chickens suddenly died in large numbers, it is necessary to dissect and analyze the reasons immediately in order to find out whether there is epidemic disease in the chickens in time. Observe feces every morning to find infectious diseases such as dysentery and typhoid fever in time; After turning off the lights every night, listen to the chickens for respiratory symptoms, such as dry and wet rales, cough, runny nose, nose flick and so on. If there is, it must be isolated and treated immediately to prevent transmission.

4. Always observe the quality of eggs, such as the concentration of eggshell, protein and yolk, yolk pigment, blood spots, meat spots, preserved eggs, deformed eggs, especially large eggs, and the high rate of broken eggs. It is necessary to analyze the reasons in time and take corresponding measures.

Third, pick up eggs.

Egg collection time is fixed, once every morning and afternoon, and the egg laying rate is less than 50%, but only once every day. When picking eggs, handle them with care to minimize damage, and the broken egg rate shall not exceed 3%. Eggs are fumigated and disinfected with formalin immediately after collection, and then sent to the egg bank for storage.

Fourth, finish all the homework on time.

Every day, the work of turning on and off the lights, feeding and feeding water, picking up eggs and cleaning up feces should be carried out and completed on time according to the specified operation time.

Misunderstandings in Broiler Breeding

In recent years, the number of small broiler farms has increased rapidly. However, most new farmers lack successful farming experience, and tend to raise according to others' practices, without paying attention to management. They only pay attention to what medicine they use when they are sick. As a result, they pollute the environment, increase drug residues and reduce profits. Many seemingly profitable markets have repeatedly lost money. Based on many years of production and service experience, the author summarizes the common misunderstandings as follows to attract the attention of chicken farmers.

1. Most of them are raised by incorrect attitude towards farming.

Under the premise of not learning the necessary breeding techniques, chicken farmers rushed to get on the horse and did not work hard on feeding management. In fact, the current aquaculture industry has entered the era of low profit, and the opportunity of making a few yuan per chicken has rarely appeared again. Many chicken farmers only calculate the market, hoping to get rich by raising chickens in greenhouses. In the end, the price often falls every time the chicken is sold, and the price begins to rise when the chicken is released. It seems that the market is against itself and each batch loses money, which greatly discourages the enthusiasm of farmers.

2. Uncertain market rules

Lack of scientific prediction and reasonable arrangement of production capacity. Because the market is unpredictable, farmers must have a strong market awareness and an accurate grasp of market information. The price of broilers is different all year round, and the demand is also different. Some farmers can not accurately grasp the information, do not study the law of market price changes, and blindly raise chickens, which seriously affects the efficiency of raising chickens.

3. Farming experience is still lacking.

Many broiler farmers seem to be large-scale and have many years of breeding history, but they have accumulated little experience and do not accept the lessons of the past. The defects existing in the previous breeding process will reappear in the future, and finally they will blame others or admit their bad luck. If others also lose money, they feel that the loss is very reasonable and dream of getting better next time.

4. The concept of epidemic prevention is still weak

There is a fluke mentality in the prevention and treatment of chicken epidemic disease, which means that you don't have to get sick without epidemic prevention, so you don't have epidemic prevention; Even after vaccination, some people do not follow the procedures, reduce the number of vaccinations at will, disrupt the normal immunization program, and even have serious confusion in the use of the program. After the chicken gets sick, it uses drugs blindly without diagnosis; Some farmers use antibiotics immediately when they find abnormal phenomena in chickens, thinking that antibiotics are omnipotent, one can't replace the other, or simply use multiple antibiotics at the same time; Paying more attention to drugs than nursing will not only waste drugs, but also miss the best treatment period and increase the drug resistance of chickens. Improper dosage, increase or decrease at will. Some people add antibiotics to their feed for a long time, some chicken farmers stop taking medicine as soon as they see that chickens have improved in order to save medicine, and some diseases even become chronic, with great losses.

5. Environmental pollution is increasing.

In winter, we only pay attention to heat preservation, ignoring ventilation. The air in the henhouse is not circulating, the concentration of harmful gases such as ammonia and sulfur dioxide increases, and the inside of the henhouse is pungent. On the contrary, some chicken farmers neglect heat preservation in order to adjust the indoor air, and the incidence of chickens is very high.

6. The quality of homemade feed is poor.

When concentrated feed is used, the formula used is unreasonable, which can not ensure the full nutrition of chickens and increase the feed cost. In addition, the current feed raw material market is chaotic, and there are many fake and shoddy products, which cannot guarantee the quality of its own ingredients.

7. Slaughtering management needs to be improved.

There are no clear rules for the slaughter of broilers. Many chicken farmers are both breeders and transporters, and some even slaughter and process them themselves. Sick chickens can't be treated in time and effectively, and they just go in and out of the chicken farm without strict disinfection, which has caused a complete transmission route of the disease and contributed to the spread of the disease.

Advantages and disadvantages of broiler feeding methods

There are two main ways to raise broilers.

The first type is thick bedding ground feeding: it refers to the feeding mode in which 5 ~ 10 cm bedding is laid on the ground of the strictly disinfected henhouse, and chickens move on the bedding during the whole growth period. Cushion should be soft, dry, absorbent, hard, moldy and pollution-free. In the process of feeding, we should loosen the hardened padding, remove the wet padding and add new padding at any time according to the specific situation.

Advantages:

① Suitable for the growth and development of broilers.

② In hot season, the temperature is slightly lower than online.

Disadvantages:

(1) requires a lot of padding and repeated investment.

② The packing management is difficult. If the padding is not well managed, it will be wet and easily lead to various diseases of digestive tract and respiratory tract infection, such as colibacillosis, coccidiosis, chronic respiratory diseases and so on.

③ The contradiction between ventilation and thermal insulation is prominent, which makes health management difficult. And the utilization value of chicken manure is reduced.

The second is online feeding: it refers to the way of feeding on the floor net bed. The net bed consists of a net bottom, a net rack and a net cover. The net height is 80 ~ 100 cm, and the net bottom is plastic. The general requirements are smoothness, elasticity and corrosion resistance. The gap size is appropriate, the grid structure should be firm and corrosion-resistant, the grid perimeter should be perpendicular to the net bed, and the height should be 50 ~ 60 cm.

Advantages:

(1) It is convenient to adopt new technologies and new processes to improve the feeding level.

(2) Because of the separation of chicken and manure, it is beneficial to sanitary management, easy to control the environment of chicken house and reduce the occurrence of infectious diseases. Chicken manure has great utilization value.

Disadvantages:

① Large one-time investment.

② Poor mesh bottom material or uneven mesh bed can easily lead to leg diseases and chest cysts.

③ The Internet temperature is high in summer, which is prone to heat stress. It is also possible that some farmers feed online in the early stage, and then switch to padding feeding in the later stage, or a combination of the two.
