How to raise Chicken Seedling Culture techniques and matters needing attention

When it comes to chicken seedlings, they are not the saplings we usually see, seedlings and so on. Chicks are actually chicks, chicks that have just hatched, and many people like to buy chicks and raise them at home. So do you know how to raise and manage chicks? Next, let's learn about it with the editor.

How to raise chicks

1, the temperature, the temperature should be between 33-35 degrees, the chicks do not gather together, do not open their mouths to breathe.

2, humidity, a few days ago, humidity can be maintained between 70-85%, high humidity is conducive to yolk absorption.

3. Light, the light time of egg chicks is 24 hours on the first day, and then reduced by half an hour every day, and the natural light can be reached after 2 weeks. The stronger the light in 1-3 days, the better, so it is easy to eat and drink. (the whole process of 24-hour light in broilers, and the light intensity can be gradually reduced in the later stage. )

4. Boil water before eating. Long-distance transportation must start eating 3-4 hours after boiling water.

5, the feed can choose cornmeal, if steamed into half-cooked on the pot is better, you can also use the full-price chicken formula feed from the feed factory.

6, drinking water, the first three days had better use cold boiled water, the water temperature is not cold hand on it, the water can add more and ofloxacin and other antibiotics to prevent white dysentery and E. coli.

Chicken seedling culture techniques and matters needing attention

1. Breeding grounds

Breeding sites should choose places with shelter from the wind to the sun, dry terrain, quiet environment and convenient transportation. The height of the cage should be about 1.2 meters. The cage should have activity room, egg laying room (nest), feeding room, etc., the feeding room should have sink and food trough, and the sports ground should be closed with a net to prevent escape.

2. Selection of species

Common breeds are Chinese ring-necked chicks, Zuo chicks, blackened chicks, light golden chicks, white chicks, oversized chicks and so on. The black and white spots on high-quality chicks are large and sparse, and they are arranged evenly as the size of peanuts. The feathers of fine chicks appear soft and rich, giving them a sense of crisp and soft meat; the younger the age, the more round the head and body, and the shorter the mouth, feet and tail.

III. Feeding and management during the rearing period

The chicks should pay attention to keeping temperature: 40-35 ℃ at 1-3 days old, 34-33 ℃ at 4-5 days old, 33-32 ℃ at 6-8 days old, 32-30 ℃ at 9-12 days old, and 30-28 ℃ at 13-20 days old. In practice, the insulation is free and lively in the box. Keep the air fresh in the house, especially in winter, and be sure to deal with the relationship between heat preservation and ventilation.

When eating, first feed a few drops with 0.1% potassium permanganate water, and one day later, mix a small amount of feed with a mixture of 5% glucose and 0.1% vitamin C. Make soft feed according to nutrition, feed requirement and feed formula. At the age of 1-2 weeks, they were fed once every 3 hours, 5-7 times a day, 4-5 times a day at the age of 3-5 weeks, and 3-4 times a day after 5 weeks, and then fed normally.

Adjust the feeding density in time. 50-60 / m 2 at the age of 1-10 days / m 2, 30-40 at the age of 10-20 days / m 2 at the age of 20-40 days / m 2 at the age of 40-56 days. Use scissors or electric howler to stop howling in time.

What is a chick seedling?

Chicken seedlings are also called chicks. Divided by time period, 0-50 days are chicks. There is enough yolk in the chick just coming out of the shell, and 3mi can supply some nutrients to the chick within 5 days. Timely eating is conducive to the absorption of egg yolk in the belly of the chick, conducive to the excretion of meconium and promote its growth and development, which is an important link in the brooding work.

Eating too early will be damaged by the fragility of digestive organs, and eating too late will consume physical strength and nutrients, which is not conducive to the growth and development of chicks. Most of the chicks began to eat 12 hours to 24 hours after hatching, and the mortality rate was the lowest during this period. For chicks to start eating, it is appropriate to eat when 60-70% of the chicks can walk freely after they have fully drunk water for 3 hours, and it is appropriate for half of the chicks in the flock to eat.

How to select good native chicken seedlings

1. Whether the size of native chicken seedlings is uniform, whether the color is uniform, whether the appearance is loose and long, and whether it has luster.

2. Native chicken seedlings have round and bright eyes, smart, healthy and lively movements and loud calls.

3. The native chicken seedlings do not have any obvious defects such as leg bending, torticollis, eye defects or crossed beaks.

4. The abdomen of the native chicken is soft, but it is not a big-bellied chicken, which means that the yolk of the chicken is absorbed well; the navel is not infected and heals well; the anus is clean and there is no fecal adhesion; the skin of the feet is as bright as wax, not dry and fragile.

Then there is the male and female of chicken seedlings, which are generally identified by professionals after coming out of the shell, and it is difficult to judge after the shell feathers are dry, so they must be asked clearly in advance of the seedlings.

The above is the Xiaobian summary for you on the breeding and management technology of chicken seedlings, I hope to be able to help you. Now organic vegetables, local ducks, game and so on are very popular, because they are more nutritious and delicious, so raising native chickens is also a good breeding project.
