What role does sugar play in chicken farming?

Sugar can be divided into brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar, glucose, etc., taste sweet, enter the spleen, liver and lung, with the effects of tonifying qi and tonifying blood, invigorating the spleen and warming the stomach, buffering and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, moistening the lungs and promoting fluid. Western medicine believes that sugar is rich in carbohydrates, riboflavin, carotene, niacin, iron and other nutrients, which can provide energy, strengthen heart and diuresis, replenish body fluids, detoxify, improve appetite, enhance body resistance and immunity, and promote wound healing. Therefore, sugar has a wide range of sources, simple to use and cheap, which can promote the growth and development of chickens and prevent a variety of diseases.

Improve the survival rate of chicks

Drinking 5%-8% sugar water or glucose water on the first day after hatching, and adding appropriate amount of vitamin c, can reduce the mortality of chicks within one week of age by 50%, and promote the absorption of egg yolk and the excretion of meconium. Drinking 8%-10% sugar solution for 7-10 days from the next day can increase the feed conversion rate of chickens, promote growth and development, increase body weight, and reduce the incidence of disease.

Properly control the sex of chicks

Glucose enters the chicken body, enhances the oxidative metabolism of the body, and affects the internal environment in which the sperm and eggs live during fertilization. According to the production experiment, 10% glucose was added to the rooster feed and fed for about 10 days, and the rooster was mated with the hen regularly. The eggs hatched were 59.8% for males and 64.2% for females.

Increase the laying rate

Every day, each chicken is diluted with 0.5 g honey and white sugar, and then evenly mixed into the diet to feed the laying hens, which can increase the egg production by 10% to 15%.

Enhance the ability of anti-stress

The factors such as herding, grouping, beak breaking, feed change, weather mutation, transportation and shock are easy to cause chicken stress reaction, which often lead to chicken dysplasia, decreased disease resistance, decreased immune ability and increased mortality. Reasonable feeding of sugar water can supplement nutrition, enhance disease resistance and effectively prevent the occurrence of stress. The method is: before and after vaccination, transportation, etc., chicks are given 5% glucose and 0.1% vitamin c cold boiled water for 3 to 5 days, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of chicken stress.

Detoxification

1. Ball powder poisoning: immediately stop feeding the feed containing gram ball powder and quickly feed 5%-10% white sugar or glucose water for 3-5 days. At the same time, it also has a certain detoxification effect on chicken nitrite poisoning.

2. Dysentery poisoning: artificial administration of 10% glucose water with an eyedropper; at the same time, vitamin c 1.05g 0.1g B15mg 10mg, intramuscular injection, twice a day, for 3-5 days, the curative effect is better.

3. Salt poisoning: give chickens free drinking with cold boiled water of 10% glucose and 0.5% vitamin c; at the same time, gentamicin 5~7.5mg per kilogram of body weight is injected intramuscularly twice a day for 3 to 5 days, the effect is remarkable.

Disease prevention

1. Chicken pullorum: give the chicks 5%-8% brown sugar water for 3 to 5 days. Or per kilogram of chicken reused oxytetracycline 25~50mg, vinegar 2mL, sugar 5g, dissolved in water, mixed evenly for free drinking, not only prevent the occurrence of white dysentery, but also promote growth and development. Or take brown sugar 25g, hundred grass cream 25g, mixed with a small amount of water to make pills, each chicken take 0.51g, 2 times 3 times a day for 3 days.

2. Bursal disease: every day, each chicken uses raw gypsum 1g, brown sugar 3G, frying juice with water and giving it to the chicken to drink for 5-7 days. The cure rate is about 96%. Or take 50g 120g live toads, put them into a pot and boil them with water for 10 minutes, get the soup (concentration 1:10), wait temperature, add 5% white sugar, and let chickens drink freely. Each chicken is free to drink, 3 times a day, 2 times a day, for 7 days, the cure rate is 97%.
