What warm measures are suitable for chicken farms in winter 2020?

With the gradual coming of winter, the temperature everywhere is getting colder and colder, and many people begin to put on thick clothes. But it is difficult for chicks to withstand the cold, so they need to take good measures to keep warm in order to survive the winter safely, so what measures are suitable for chicks to keep warm in winter?

1. Heating the coal-burning stove

Heating the chicken house with a coal-fired stove is one of the most common heating methods at present, in which the temperature is relatively stable, but it takes several times to get up and add coal at night. It is relatively cold at night in winter, and it is also very hard to add coal to the chicken cottage. if no coal is added at night, the temperature of the chicken coop may drop, chickens catch cold and even die in a pile.

Coal stove heating also need to pay attention to the problem of gas poisoning, if the sealing of the flue is not good, there may be flock gas poisoning phenomenon, chicken coop in order to achieve heat preservation effect, sealing is relatively strict, may lead to chick gas poisoning.

Second, thermal insulation lamp

According to the situation of the chicken house, we can use the insulation lamp appropriately, but although the insulation lamp is simple and convenient, the heat preservation effect is not good, the local temperature is high, the surrounding temperature is low, and the temperature is uneven. The use of insulation lamp heating, need electricity, it is easy to be affected by external factors. For example, the power outage caused by bad weather can easily lead to a sudden drop in the temperature of the chicken coop. It may also cause short circuit or fire due to the aging of the circuit.

3. Flue heating

In this way of heating, there are generally operating rooms. Heating is carried out in the operating room outside the chicken house, and then the flue is in the chicken house, and the temperature rises directly from the ground, which can ensure the balance of the temperature of the chicken house. In this way, when the chicken coop is built, the cost is a little higher than the previous two. The temperature difference before and after the chicken coop will change, but the impact is not great.

When the chicken coop is free and refurbished, the flue should also be inspected. If the flue is blocked, the heating will be blocked and the temperature of the chicken coop will not rise. Together in the farmer's home, I encountered bricks falling into the chimney without checking it out. After the chickens arrived at night, the temperature could not rise. The chicks caught a cold all night and found out the next day.

4. Radiator

Now the conditions for raising chickens are getting better and better, and many farmers have also bought radiators, and the temperature of the heaters can be controlled automatically. In this way, people will be much more relaxed at night. But the cost is relatively high, not suitable for long-term use, suitable for cooling weather, the temperature can not be raised, or emergency heating after a power outage. Now the general use of the heater is to use a coal stove to heat up, and then set the warm air, this method is also used in the brooding stage.

When raising chickens, we must take good measures to keep warm in winter in order to get through the severe winter safely. Ensure the healthy growth of chickens in the coming year.
