Management methods of raising broilers in winter

Broilers have rich economic benefits. In rural areas of our country, almost every household raises broilers, but poor management in winter will lead to the death of broilers. Today, the editor will introduce the management methods of raising broilers in winter.

1. Chicken coop

The temperature in winter is very low, and broilers are weak in resistance to low temperature, so we should strengthen the firmness of the chicken coop, timely repair the areas where the chicken coop may be ventilated, prevent the broiler from catching cold, change the fodder of the chicken coop, and take good cold prevention and heat preservation measures to reasonably control the ventilation of the chicken coop in winter.

2. Disinfection

Chickens cannot be kept when the temperature is too low, so most of the winter will be spent in the chicken coop, so before overwintering, we should do a good job in the comprehensive disinfection of the chicken cottage. wash or replace all household utensils such as sinks and troughs used by chickens, so as to reduce pathogens and reduce the incidence of chickens.

3. Disease prevention

Although the incidence of chicken flocks in winter is not high, it is also a period of high incidence of some diseases, such as colds. According to the weather conditions, the surrounding environment and the characteristics of various diseases, we should do a good job in the prevention of all diseases and vaccine. prepare prevention and control agents to be foolproof.

4. Drinking water

The drinking water of broilers in winter is more important, because the temperature is lower, the water temperature will drop accordingly, so when we feed water, we should control the water temperature. When the water temperature rises to the normal temperature, the water demand in winter is relatively large, the amount of drinking water is almost twice that of feed, and the water supply should not be too much, because it may cause dampness in the chicken coop.

5. Ventilation

Winter is the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases, especially for broilers for a month or so, because winter is relatively dry, there is more dust in the chicken coop, and many friends do not ventilate the chicken coop in order to prevent colds, resulting in excessive inhalation of dust from the chicken flock and causing disease, so it is necessary to strengthen the permeability of the chicken coop while ensuring the temperature, so that the chicken coop has enough oxygen and reduces the incidence of disease.

6. Ammonia removal

If the humidity in the chicken house is too high, it will usually produce a large amount of ammonia, which is very harmful to the growth of broilers. In order to avoid this situation, we should reduce the watering work of the chicken house, keep the chicken house dry and prevent the bedding grass from being too wet. Deodorant can also be used to reduce ammonia in the chicken house.

7. Prepare materials

When overwintering, it is necessary to prepare the feed and bedding grass for chickens. The feed is essential for broilers, and the bedding grass should also be replaced in time in the process of breeding. The bedding grass should be clean and pollution-free, not wet, and the feed should be fed normally. Keep it in a dry place to prevent the feed from deteriorating due to moisture.

The above is the management method of winter broiler farming arranged by Xiaobian. I hope it can help you!
