Four points should be grasped for breeding chickens in summer

1. Effective ventilation

Many farmers often use improper methods to effectively ventilate the chicken sheds, such as installing electric fans in the chicken sheds to blow directly to the chickens. In fact, this practice does not have much cooling effect. Because the chicken itself does not have sweat glands, it is just a blow, evaporation without sweat cannot take away heat, and most of them are ceiling fans installed, and the wind blows from top to bottom, which further prevents the rise of hot air and hinders the entry of low-temperature air. the circulation of hot air in the chicken coop is more likely to raise the ambient temperature. Although some farmers know to blow from the outside to the inside, or to the outside to make the air convection, they do not know which fan should blow inward and which fan should blow outward, and the result is not good. In fact, this is not difficult to grasp, because the hot air in the house flows upward and the cold air flows below. As long as the fan blowing in the house is installed at the bottom and the air is discharged from the top, it can not only form effective convection, but also take away part of the heat of the chicken body, and there will be a good cooling effect.

two。 Spray water to cool down

Many farmers know that spraying water can cool down, but they don't know how to use it. Sometimes they use the wrong method and have the opposite effect. First of all, we should understand the principle of water spray cooling, water spray cooling is the use of liquid water evaporation in the air, the use of evaporation endothermic to cool, so water spray should be considered in this aspect. First of all, to make use of the evaporation of water, it is necessary to make the water form fog, which not only increases the surface area of the water, but also does not make large water droplets fall on the chicken, cause stress, or form a "drowned chicken". Choose dry, hot and windy weather to be effective when spraying water. This is also conducive to the evaporation of water, and can not be carried out in the "sauna day" with high temperature and humidity. That only increases humidity, water saturation in the air, no evaporation, no cooling effect, but also has the opposite effect. At this time, all you have to do is to strengthen effective ventilation.

3. Drink water at the right time

Every time the high temperature comes, some farmers die because of lack of water. In addition to the common water shortage, leakage, pipe blocking and other problems, another important reason is that because of the hot weather, individual chickens occupy drinking water positions. For example, when one or two chickens climb onto the kettle when drinking water from the kettle, other chickens will not be able to drink water, resulting in a lack of water and death. Therefore, the hotter the weather, the more often farmers should go to the house to observe and find problems to be solved in time.

4. Reasonable exercise

In the muggy summer, especially before the heavy rain or during the period of high temperature and humidity in summer, the pressure is particularly low. If individual chickens squat to one side for a long time, it is likely to cause hypoxia death, which usually occurs in the afternoon or at night. Therefore, at this time, we should often go to the henhouse to observe and make the flock exercise, which can reduce death and loss.
