Feeding and management techniques of white-feathered broilers

Now there are many kinds of chickens on the market, so their feeding and management are all the same? The following editor will work with you to understand the feeding and management techniques of white-feathered broilers.

Feeding and management techniques of white-feathered broilers

White-feathered broilers were reared in two stages: 0-3 weeks for brooding and 4-9 weeks for fattening. Whether the white feather broiler is raised successfully or not is the key.

1. Feeding and management of chicks

Preparation before brooding

The main results are as follows: 1. The selection of brooding time mainly considers two factors:

One is the effect of season on the development of chicks.

The second is the change in market demand for chicken.

2. Preparation of chicken coop and raising utensils

The ① henhouse should clean up the feces after the last batch of chickens are transferred, and carry out comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the henhouse to prevent rain leakage, plug rat holes, clean around the henhouse and spray disinfection.

② cages should be checked when using cage brooding technology, and whether they are available, such as far-infrared heat source, bottom net, class plate, hanging net, etc., and should be matched and replaced in time if there is damage.

③ overhauls the circuits, pipes, gate boxes, switches and other components of the lighting, ventilation, heating, water supply, material supply and other systems so that they are in good condition for use.

Clean the feed trough, water tank, water tank and feeding equipment by ④ and place them in the chicken house before fumigation and disinfection.

After overhauling the ⑤ sterilized chicken coop, rinse with high-pressure tap water, rinse the ceiling, wall, cage and floor from high to low, ensure that it is dust-free, feather-free, fecal-free, naturally dry, and the temperature is 21 ℃. Spray tap water from the aerosol in the sealed chicken house to make the humidity reach 60% 80%, then use formalin solution to add the same amount of water per cubic meter of 20ml to heat and fumigate.

3, the preparation of feed chick feed must meet the nutritional standards of this chicken breed, the prepared full-price material should not be placed for too long, it would be better not to exceed two weeks, in order to prevent feed deterioration and vitamin A, E and other oxidation, generally according to 1.1rel 1.5 kg per chick.

4. preparation of other materials: fuel, vaccines and commonly used drugs and light bulbs should be prepared and properly stored as required.

5. Preheat the chicken house and test the temperature. 12 days before entering the chicken, the heating equipment should be run at the same time to ensure that the chick can have enough temperature on the arrival day. The use of coal stove, fire wall heating should pay special attention to check whether there is a string of smoke, in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

II. Pick up and transportation of chicks and matters needing attention

1. Chick selection

① ensures that the nestling comes from a healthy flock.

② chooses strong chicks to ensure low morbidity and high survival rate. The characteristics of healthy chicks are: lively and active, strong legs, bright eyes, crisp call, neat and smooth fluff, flat and soft abdomen, good anal navel healing, full grace and strong struggle when holding.

2. The following points should be paid attention to when transporting chicks:

① chicken farmers had better transport their own chickens, and at the same time, they should master certain professional knowledge and experience in transporting chicks.

② prepares brooding tools in advance, including vehicles, installation boxes and rain and heat preservation tools, in which vehicles should be closed, such as bread-type passenger vehicles, short-distance transport can also use tricycles, tractors and other simple tools.

③ should pay attention to grasp the appropriate time to transport chicks. In winter and early Spring Festival, chicks should be transported at noon as far as possible; in summer, chicks should be transported coolly in the morning and evening.

During the transportation of ④ chicks, the flock should be observed at any time, the temperature and ventilation should be adjusted, and during long-distance transportation, more attention should be paid to inverting the chick box inside and outside, up and down, to prevent accidental bumps, so as to avoid crushing the chicks to death.

Third, the chicks enter the house

1. When the chicks arrive, they should sit still for about half an hour to buffer the chicks from the stress state of transportation and at the same time make them adapt to the brooding environment.

2. Place the chicks, divide the chicks into groups according to the plan, separate the strong and weak when grouping, and put the weak chicks in the place closest to the heat source.

3. The first drink: (1) the time of the first drink: the chicks should be given water within 1 hour after they are settled.

(2) drinking water preparation: 8% warm sucrose (white sugar) water or 5% warm glucose water can be used to drink 1 Mel for 2 days.

(3) drinking water temperature: should not be lower than 18 ℃

(4) the location of the drinking fountain: the drinking fountain should be placed in a place with bright light and crisscross with the material tray, with a distance of not more than 1 meter.

4. Feeding techniques of chicks

① feeding time: the feeding time of chicks should be 2-3 hours after the first drink.

② feed: use fresh millet, corn trough and other grain materials, do not use too fine powder, the next day and then use full-price feed, feed can use dry material, can also use wet material, the proportion of wet material and water is 5 ∶ 1.

③ eating method: use a shallow plate, or plastic sheeting, newspaper, etc., in a brightly lit place, and scatter the material several times to induce chicks to peck. As long as a few chickens in the flock begin to peck at the feed, the rest of the chicks will soon learn.

The recommended daily feeding times for ④ broilers are as follows: 1 / 3 days, 8 / 10 times; 4 / 7 days, 6 / 8 times; 8 / 14 days, 4 times / 6 times; 3 times after 15 days of age.

5. Broken beak

The main results are as follows: 1. The beak-breaking time can be at birth or at the age of 7-10 days, and the beak-breaking knife can be used to burn the tip of the beak of the chicken directly without removing it. The tip of the beak can be removed at the age of 6 ~ 9 days, and the tip of the beak can be removed.

2. Management measures before and after beak severing:

① won't let the chicken eat too much before breaking his beak.

When ② cut off the beak, the cut section of the beak can be branded on the beak breaker blade, which has a better hemostatic effect. At the same time, vitamin K can be added to the diet 2 days before and after the beak is broken, the dosage is 5ml 8g per ton feed, and bleeding can be avoided.

After the beak of ③ is broken, feed should be added appropriately in the bucket to avoid the bottom of the trough where the beak is broken and refuse to eat because of pain.

After cutting off the beak of ⑤, the feed intake of the chicken is less, and the dietary protein can be increased by 1% to maintain its growth and development. When the beak is cut off at the age of 6-9 days, 0.44cm is the most suitable foramen.

VI. Group expansion

1. The first expansion of the herd should be about 8 days old, and the flocks of flat-raised chickens can remove the enclosure.

2. The second group expansion should be between 12 and 18 days old, and the chickens can be gradually evacuated to the free place.

3. The third flock expansion is about 22 days old, and the flock can be expanded all over the henhouse. This flock expansion can be brought forward in summer.

VII. Comprehensive health and epidemic prevention measures

We all know the importance of comprehensive health and epidemic prevention measures to the feeding and management of broilers. But in fact, many people in the industry do not attach great importance to this work. Rely on vaccines and drugs to prevent and control infectious diseases, thinking that by immunizing chickens against a particular disease, chickens have complete protection against the disease. Even fantasize about feeding medicine to the chickens, the chickens will not get sick or be able to cure the disease.

The report and continuous fermentation of "fast-growing chicken" and "drug chicken" in the broiler industry in 2012 warned people that broiler breeding must be standardized. Scientific use of drugs and control of drug residues are the key to the survival of broiler enterprises in the future.

Therefore, in view of the serious epidemic situation of broilers and the consideration of food safety, the implementation of comprehensive health and epidemic prevention measures is an important guarantee for healthy breeding of broilers. Modern broiler farms must adopt a closed all-in-all-out feeding and management mode. the health of broilers can be ensured through comprehensive measures such as washing preparation of chicken house, isolation of disease sources, disinfection of articles and vehicles, management measures of personnel entry and exit, implementation of chicken flock immunization plan, scientific medication and health monitoring, etc.

With the technology of feeding and management, as long as you are willing to raise, there will be no bad chickens!
