What problems should be considered in the construction of free-range native chicken farms?

To build a free-range local chicken farm, many problems need to be considered, such as sales market, introduction of chicken seedlings, construction of farms and so on. There are too many factors involved, so here we only talk about the choice of breeding sites.

Before building the factory, it is necessary to determine the scale of raising, and at the same time determine the use of free-range native chickens, raising laying hens or laying hens, commercial chickens or breeder chickens.

First of all, the problem of site selection must be considered, and the location must be determined according to the scale and nature of the chicken farm (breeder, commercial laying hen or breeder, etc.). Whether the site selection is appropriate or not is related to health and epidemic prevention, the growth of chickens and the work efficiency of breeders, as well as the success or failure and benefit of raising chickens.

Comprehensive factors should be taken into account in site selection, such as area, topography, soil, orientation, wind direction, traffic, water source, power supply, epidemic prevention conditions, local crop planting and so on. Specifically, the choice of site should be conducive to production.

First of all, the facilities are complete. The transportation is convenient, which is beneficial to the transportation of feed and products. There should be water and power. The best source of water is tap water. If there is no tap water, it should be selected in a place rich in groundwater resources and suitable for drilling wells, and the water quality should meet the sanitary requirements. Stay away from towns, transportation trunk lines, chemical plants, slaughterhouses, meat factories, hospitals, residential areas, in order to facilitate epidemic prevention.

Secondly, the site should be in a place of Gaolang, dryness and good drainage. If in the plain area, should choose the place that the terrain is high and dry, slightly to the south or southeast; if in the mountainous and hilly area, it is appropriate to choose the south slope, the inclination is below 20 degrees. Such a place is easy to drain and receive sunlight, warm in winter and cool in summer. It is better to have fish ponds in the site to facilitate sewage discharge and to carry out waste utilization and comprehensive management.

Finally, the site should form its own closed system, that is to say, walls can be built to prevent outsiders and outside livestock, poultry and wild animals from entering. There should be a sunshade in the venue so that native chickens will not be exposed to the sun when they exercise outside.
