How to improve the survival rate of chicks?
When the eggs hatch and break the shell, a new batch of chicks will be ushered in. However, the newborn chicks are very fragile, and if the management is not in place, it can easily lead to mass death, causing many chicken farmers to be nervous during the stage of raising young chickens. So how to improve the survival rate of young chickens?
I. self-propagation and self-cultivation
It is suggested that people should hatch and breed themselves as far as possible, which is safer. Generally speaking, the survival rate of self-breeding is higher, reducing the possibility of young chickens carrying pathogens. Chicks purchased directly on the market may have health problems and are easy to infect other chicks with germs.
The chicks hatched by themselves can ensure that the overall difference in the growth environment is small, and the chicks purchased on the market have to adapt to the environment in the early stage of feeding, which may cause environmental discomfort and cause unnecessary losses.
II. Environmental control
The environment during the rearing period has a great impact on the chicks, and the temperature, light and ventilation can seriously affect the healthy growth of the chicks. The temperature needs to be controlled above 30 ℃ for one week after hatching, and decreases gradually with time, and the temperature can be kept at about 20 ℃ after a month.
The lighting time during the breeding period should not be too long, and most of the time to maintain a relatively dark environment, which is conducive to the feeding and dormancy of the chicks, and the long light time will make the chicks in a restless state, which is not conducive to the later growth. The ventilation condition of the chicken house must be good, but it is necessary to avoid the incoming wind blowing directly to the chicks, which will lead to colds and diarrhea in the chicks.
III. Feeding and management
In the early stage of the breeding period, it is suggested to feed more concentrate feed, which is mainly high in protein and energy, and pay attention to the timely supplement of trace elements so as to lay a good foundation for fattening in the later stage.
The initial feeding adheres to the way of "repeated and small amounts". The initial digestion rate of the chicks is very slow, and they need to be fed at least five times a day, and the supply of clean water must be maintained during each feeding, which helps the chicks digest food.
IV. Treatment of sanitary diseases
During the rearing period, attention must be paid to the hygiene of the chicken house and the prevention and control of diseases. The feces of the chicks should be cleaned every 3-4 hours, or after each feeding.
Use the necessary vaccine as soon as possible, you can feed or spray the vaccine, generally do not choose the injection type, can reduce the workload, once found that the abnormal state of the chicks do not hesitate, need to be isolated immediately, the immunity of the chicks is very fragile, to avoid infecting other chicks.
These are the four simple methods of how to improve the survival rate of chicks introduced by Tuliu. it is best to achieve self-breeding of chicks, control of ambient temperature, good feeding management and essential treatment of sanitary diseases. raising chicks pay attention to meticulous and comprehensive management, it takes more time in the early stage to get a better harvest in the later stage!
