Breeding techniques of White Feather Chicken

White feather chicken is one of the largest industries in China's livestock and poultry breeding industry, and many farmers raise it on a large scale, so what is the breeding technology of white feather chicken? Please see below for details.

First, build a chicken coop

The first thing to consider when building a chicken coop is heat preservation. Some farmers only consider the quantity but do not have strict requirements for quality. Blindly expand breeding, but the chicken coop has not been updated, simple and messy, resulting in a gradual increase in labor intensity. As the cost of heat preservation becomes higher, the incidence and elimination rate of white-feathered chickens are also gradually increasing, so the establishment of chicken coops is a crucial step in breeding. Attention should be paid to the main structure, heat preservation, permeability and hygiene of the chicken house, so as to facilitate the later management and breeding quality and quantity.

2. Disinfection and temperature

Newly purchased chicks can not be put directly into the nursery, they should be sterilized first, so that the bacteria can be killed, and then put into the nursery. At first, the temperature should not be too low or too high. If you see the chicks huddled together, it means that the temperature is too low. If you find the chicks restless and constantly barking, the temperature is too high. In this case, the temperature needs to be adjusted in time. When breeding, we should also pay attention to the density, generally about 50-70 per square meter, culture according to the size of the appropriate adjustment of density, too dense will appear squeeze phenomenon, but also let the temperature rise, which will affect growth. Adjust the temperature appropriately according to the seasonal changes, and control the humidity at about 60%, because the appropriate humidity can effectively prevent floating dust from entering the respiratory tract of chickens and reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases in white-feathered chickens.

III. Disease prevention and treatment

In the process of breeding, white feather chickens will inevitably appear a variety of diseases, so many farmers will use drugs for prevention and treatment. However, there will be many misunderstandings in the process of use, such as the use of chlorphenicol when opening the mouth will easily suppress the immunity of chickens, and then can be replaced with cephalosporins antibiotics. Try to avoid using antiviral drugs of western medicine within three weeks of chicken growth, and the use of some traditional Chinese medicine can effectively prevent damage to the immune system caused by western medicine. And can not rely entirely on drugs for disease prevention, it is necessary to do a good job in the environmental hygiene management of the chicken house to create a suitable growth environment for white chickens and reduce the incidence of disease.

IV. Feed

The breeding process of white feather chicken needs more nutrition, so it is necessary to ensure the balance and quality of nutrients when feeding. There is no great requirement for the cost of feed, because the nutrients of feed production from each manufacturer are different, and it is not meaningful to compare with each other. In the initial stage of white feather chicken breeding, a large amount of protein is needed to enhance the meat quality and nutrition balance of white feather chicken, and a lot of energy is needed in the later stage. In the later stage, it is necessary to strengthen the resistance of white feather chicken and reduce the incidence of disease. The concentrated feed increases or decreases according to the actual situation.

White feather chickens in the breeding process should pay special attention to the environment, regular disinfection and clean up feces, reduce the incidence of disease, so that the raised white feather chickens will be healthier.
