Feeding and management techniques of chicks

The raising of chicks:

Before eating, the chicks should drink water with 40 / 10,000 potassium permanganate solution, which is used for disinfection and excretion of meconium and cleaning the intestines. The chicks were fed for the first time and fed with chicken pellet feed for 6 times a day. For chickens with weak physique, they should be fed once at night, and then gradually changed to 3 Mel 4 times a day.

Nutritional indicators of chicken feed:

Crude protein 18 Mel 19%; energy 2900 kcal / kg; crude fiber 3 Mel 5%; crude fat 2.5%; calcium 1 Mel 1.1%; phosphorus 0.45%; Methionine 0.45%; Lysine 1.05%. The feed consumption of chicks should be controlled according to the actual feeding situation. Chicks must be fed regularly, quantitatively and qualitatively, and clean drinking water must be maintained.

Brooding temperature:

The temperature has a great influence on the growth and development of chicks, so the temperature of brooding must be strictly controlled. Brooding temperature should grasp such a basic principle: the initial temperature of brooding should be high, the brooding temperature of weak chicks should be slightly higher, small group feeding should be higher than large group feeding, night time is higher than day time, and rainy day is higher than sunny day.

Brooding humidity:

If the indoor air humidity is too high, it will cause a large number of harmful microorganisms to multiply and affect the healthy development of chicks; therefore, the humidity in the incubation room should be kept at 65 / 70%.

Maintain normal ventilation:

The content of carbon dioxide in the brooding house should be controlled at 0.2% and should not exceed 0.5%. Ammonia content requirements are lower than 10ppm, should not exceed 20ppm H2S content requirements in 6.6ppm, should not exceed 15ppm. In ventilation, to strictly prevent chicks from catching cold, it is required to improve the room temperature of chicks before ventilation, the best ventilation time is around noon, ventilation should be carried out slowly.

Broken beak:

The beak-breaking time of chicks is usually 7-10 days. In order to prevent stress, add Vk4 (4mg/kg) or electrolytic multi-dimensional in drinking water or feed one day before and after beak breaking.

Chickens are immunized:

In order to prevent the occurrence of various infectious diseases in chickens, the immunization of Marek, Newcastle disease, infectious bursa, infectious branch, laryngotracheitis and fowlpox should be done according to the chicken immunization procedure provided by the chicken breeding farm. Chunxi
