What is the equipment for raising chickens?

Chicken breeding equipment includes: heating equipment, ventilation equipment, water supply equipment, feeding equipment, egg collection equipment, fecal cleaning equipment, cage equipment, lighting equipment and so on. Today, follow the editor to learn more about these chicken equipment!

1. Heating equipment

As long as the purpose of heating and heat preservation can be achieved, electric heating, water heating and gas heating, coal stove and even fire Kang, ground Kang and other heating methods can be selected, but it should be noted that coal furnace heating is dirty and prone to gas poisoning, so chimneys must be added. Attention should be paid to heat preservation and thermal insulation in house design.

2. Ventilation equipment

The closed chicken house must be mechanically ventilated, which can be divided into transverse ventilation and longitudinal ventilation according to the direction of air flow in the house. Transverse ventilation means that the direction of air flow in the house is perpendicular to the long axis of the chicken house, and the longitudinal ventilation means that a large number of fans are concentrated in one place, so that the air flow in the house is parallel to the long axis of the chicken house. The research practice since 1988 has proved that the effect of longitudinal ventilation is good, which can eliminate and overcome the phenomenon of small and uneven ventilation dead angle and wind speed in the house during transverse ventilation, and at the same time eliminate the disadvantage of cross infection between chicken sheds caused by transverse ventilation.

3. Water supply equipment

From the point of view of saving water and preventing bacterial contamination, nipple drinking fountains are the most ideal water supply equipment, and high-quality watertight drinking fountains must be selected. At present, caged chickens and laying hens are most commonly used in V-shaped sinks, which are often supplied with running water, but it takes energy to scrub the sink every day. The hanging tower type automatic drinking fountain can be used when raising chicks, which is both hygienic and water-saving.

4. Feeding equipment

Mainly uses the food trough, the cage chicken all uses the long through trough, when raising the brood can also use this kind of feed way, also can use the bucket feed. The shape of the trough has a great influence on the distribution of feed for chickens. If the trough is too shallow and there is no guard edge, it will cause more feed waste.

5. Egg collecting equipment

The chicken farm with high degree of mechanization uses conveyor belt to collect eggs automatically, which has high efficiency, but the damage rate is high. In October, chicken farmers generally collect eggs by hand.

6. Fecal cleaning equipment

In general, chicken farms use manual manure removal on a regular basis, while larger chicken farms can use mechanical manure removal.

7. Cage

Brooding can use a net board or a three-dimensional multi-layer incubator; in addition to raising chickens on the plane, most of them use overlapping or stepped cages, and farmers often take 60-70 days of age to directly turn to human egg cages. Laying hens are basically caged. At present, there are many domestic manufacturers that produce chicken cages, which can be purchased according to the actual situation, and the area of chicken cages must be guaranteed.

8. Lighting equipment

Ordinary light bulbs are widely used in China, and the development trend is to use energy-saving lamps. Many chicken farms install timing automatic control switches to replace manual switches to ensure accurate and reliable lighting time.

9. Incubation equipment

Hatching equipment refers to the general name of the items needed in the hatching process, which includes: incubator, hatching machine, incubator accessories, special items for hatchery, heating equipment, humidifying equipment, and various measuring systems, and so on.

10. Disinfection equipment: agricultural sprayer, air pump, etc.

11, immunity, treatment equipment: continuous syringes, needles and so on.

12. Beak-breaking equipment: electric beak breaker, electric soldering iron, etc.

13. Weighing equipment: spring scale, bar scale, electronic weighing, etc.

To create a modern chicken farm, we should not only have modern chicken breeding equipment, but also need modern breeding concept. Modern chicken raising equipment includes heating equipment, ventilation equipment, water supply equipment, feeding equipment, egg collection equipment, fecal cleaning equipment, cage equipment, lighting equipment and so on. Modern breeding concepts include: establishing the consciousness of improved varieties, the equal importance of brooding, paying attention to peacetime management, strengthening disinfection, paying attention to feed quality, using less drugs, and so on.
