Technical basis of novice chicken raising

Newbie chickens need to choose good breeding varieties, buy healthy chicks, then establish professional brood room, pay attention to heat preservation equipment, prepare suitable feeding equipment, and feed scientifically. Professional epidemic prevention and disinfection equipment shall be prepared during feeding process, and professional veterinary personnel shall be equipped. At ordinary times, attention shall be paid to observe the health status of chicken flock. Whether chicken flock is healthy can be judged by feed intake, water consumption and feces morphology. In case of abnormality, isolation treatment shall be carried out in time.

1. Prepare the brood room

The newly bought chicks are still very young and need to be fed in a professional brooding room. There are generally three kinds of brooding rooms: flat bedding brooding room, flat online brooding room and stereo brooding room. The temperature supply equipment in the brood room is also very important, which can improve the survival rate of chicks and reduce the loss of chicken farms.

2. Prepare feeding equipment such as feeding trough

Chickens need to prepare feeding troughs or feeding drums for chickens to eat. The material of the feeding vessel is wood, metal and plastic, which can be selected independently according to the actual situation and capital cost.

3. Prepare chicken houses for chicken farms

Chicken houses are divided into breeding houses and breeding houses. The role of chicken houses is different, and their internal structure and equipment are also different. It is necessary to switch chicken houses according to the growth stages of chickens.

4. Prepare epidemic prevention and disinfection equipment

Epidemic prevention and disinfection equipment are generally set up at the entrance and exit of chicken houses. Disinfection and epidemic prevention are carried out when breeding personnel enter and exit conveniently.

Hire professional veterinarians or other relevant professionals.

Professional veterinarians or practitioners can better manage the healthy growth of chickens, can find sick chickens or abnormal conditions as soon as possible, timely isolation treatment can effectively reduce the diffusion rate, thus reducing the breeding risk, but also can reasonably arrange nutritional feed, ensure the quality of chickens.

6. Learn to observe the daily performance of chickens

Daily observation is very important. If you want to raise chickens well, you must observe the flock, such as mental state, feed intake, water consumption, feces, death rate, etc.

Feed intake: observe whether the mental state of chickens is good, whether there are abnormal changes in feed intake, and if abnormal conditions are found, deal with them in time.

Drinking water: If the water consumption of chickens suddenly increases, attention should be paid to it. After the occurrence of secondary bacterial diseases in general viral diseases, fever symptoms will occur, that is, the inflammatory reactions within chickens will produce internal heat, so the water consumption will increase at this time.

Feces: Feces can reflect the health of the flock. If faeces are normal, it means healthy, if there are such things as feed faeces, white cream faeces, or water faeces, and if the color of faeces is abnormal, it means that the flock is sick.

Mortality rate: epidemic diseases will lead to a large number of deaths of chickens, general severe diseases, febrile diseases, poisoning occurs, the death rate is relatively fast, we must pay attention to the prevention of virulent influenza, virulent Newcastle disease, acute cholera and other diseases. Therefore, the daily vaccine must be regularly hit, prevention is better than treatment.

Hygiene management: chicken farm hygiene cleaning work, to avoid causing some chicken disease, causing unnecessary losses.
