Matters needing attention in raising chickens in winter

Add thermal insulation layer in chicken house

If frosting is found in the roof of the chicken house and the north wall, a hanging shed with thermal insulation layer should be added, and a thermal insulation layer should be added with plastic sheeting or linoleum paper to block the north window. Wind barriers can also be set up in the appropriate place where the main wind direction is away from the chicken house to alleviate the cold wind.

Timely adjust the amount of feed according to the change of temperature

Always pay attention to the weather forecast and add 10 grams of 20 grams of feed to each chicken 1-2 days before the cold spell for 3-5 days to maintain body temperature and egg production level. For every 3.C drop in temperature, feed should be increased by 5 grams. After the cold spell is over and the temperature picks up, restore the original feed supply.

Pay attention to ventilation

Deal with the relationship between ventilation and warmth in the cold climate, remove the feces and sundries in the chicken house in time, and ensure the fresh air of the chicken house. When the weather is better at noon, open the window to ventilate, so that the air in the house is fresh and oxygen is sufficient.

Prophylactic administration

The resistance of chickens in winter and spring is declining, so special attention should be paid to epidemic prevention and disease prevention. According to the actual situation, some preventive drugs can be given regularly and the contents of vitamins and trace elements in feed can be appropriately increased to enhance the physique of chickens. You can choose 3000 jin of drinking water per bottle of gold vita to supplement nutrition and promote growth function.
