What is the better way to raise chickens in 2020? Take stock of common ecological chicken raising models

The crazy rise in meat prices in 2019 has made many agricultural farmers see business opportunities, so more people began to raise chickens in 2020. Chicken is a common poultry and is loved by the market, so what is the better way to raise chickens in 2020? Take stock of common ecological chicken farming models.

1. Captive chickens in rural areas

Captive breeding here does not mean keeping chickens in captivity in a chicken coop or at home, because if it is enclosed in a chicken coop, then it is not ecological breeding, and there are not many chickens in the house, and the economic benefit is too small and there is no prospect. What we are talking about here in captivity is to choose an open field in the countryside, build a simple chicken coop, and isolate the site with fences, fences and other things, and raise chickens in it. The advantage of this model is that the chicken has a certain range of activities, but the disadvantage is that more artificial feeding is needed, and the chicken food may not be so green and natural.

two。 Stocking chickens on the beach

On the edge of some rivers and lakes, there are often rich aquatic plants, a vast area, and sufficient food and activity space for chickens, so raising chickens in these places is a good choice. However, chicken farmers need to pay attention to the following points: first, be careful of the harm of other animals in the wild to chickens; second, pay attention to weather changes; third, pay attention to the breeding density, which should not be too high, otherwise the chickens may eat up all the grass roots and will not be able to raise them in the second year; fourth, pay attention to the breeding time, spring is appropriate, summer Rain Water, the water level rises, not suitable.

3. Raising chickens in orchard

Many fruit tree plantations are natural places for raising chickens, because there are weeds and worms in the orchards, which are the natural food for chickens. Different fruit trees have different points for attention, such as peach and apple trees are relatively low, need to pay attention to prevent chicken damage to the fruit, while jujube trees, walnut trees are relatively tall, there is no worry in this regard. Of course, the most important thing is to pay attention to the safety of chickens, especially during pesticide spraying, chickens are generally prohibited from moving in the orchard seven days after spraying.

4. Raising chickens in the woods

All kinds of woodland, whether natural or artificial, as long as it is easy to manage, many are suitable for raising chickens. The main points for attention in stocking chickens in woodland are density, supplementary feeding and stocking time. The density is generally no more than 50 birds per mu, otherwise the vegetation may not be able to bear it; supplementary feeding is necessary, and the amount can be determined according to the field feed resources and chicken breeds; the setting-out time is determined according to temperature and chicken age, early release in summer and late release in winter. Chickens are released late and harvested early, while big chickens are released early and harvested late.

In fact, there are many modes of raising chickens, mainly according to their own actual situation to choose their own mode of raising chickens, which is the only way to raise high-quality and healthy chickens.
