Construction scheme of free-raised chicken house in orchard

With the implementation of the rural land circulation by the state, many aspiring young people in rural areas are now contracted to plant fruit trees to raise chickens in their hometown. This paper gives you a design scheme of an orchard free-range chicken house based on the construction of the orchard free-range chicken cottage. let's take a look at the construction plan of the orchard free-range chicken house.

Benefits of raising local chickens in orchards

1. Weeding, pest control and feed saving: chickens have the habit of eating grass and grass seeds, and have a certain effect on the control and inhibition of weeds. According to the experiment, there are 20 chickens per mu in the orchard, and the weeds are only about 20% of those in the orchard without chicken. The number of chickens increases, and the weeds are even less. Chickens hunt for food in the orchard and prey on the adults, larvae and pupae of pests such as termites, beetles, leaf moths and ground tigers, so as to reduce the harm of pests to fruit trees. Allowing chickens to eat a large amount of natural feed can not only improve the quality of chicken, but also reduce the feeding cost and improve the yield and quality of fruit.

2. Improve soil fertility and reduce investment: chicken manure contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients needed for the growth of fruit trees. According to analysis, a chicken manure contains 900 grams of nitrogen fertilizer, 850 grams of phosphate fertilizer and 450 grams of potassium fertilizer a year. According to the calculation of raising 20 chickens per mu of orchard, it is equivalent to applying 18 kg of nitrogen fertilizer, 17 kg of phosphorus fertilizer and 9 kg of potassium fertilizer, which increases soil fertility, promotes the growth of fruit trees, saves fertilizer and reduces investment. At the same time, we should make full use of the houses in charge of the orchard and build a certain amount of simple chicken sheds to save investment.

3. Strengthen the physique and reduce diseases: fresh air in the orchard, clean water source, far away from the village, can avoid and reduce the spread of chicken disease.

Construction of free-raised chicken house in orchard

1. In the construction of the chicken house, the location of the local chicken house is very important. Depending on the size of the orchard, the free-range chicken house should be built in the center of the orchard so that the native chicken can forage and move. The sitting direction of the chicken house should be north to south, warm in winter and cool in summer, and well ventilated.

2. The height of the floor inside the chicken house should be 35 cm higher than that outside the house, otherwise, the floor and bedding of the chicken house will be wet, which will lead to the occurrence of diseases of the chicken flock. In addition, Rain Water will pour the chicken house back into the chicken house in case of heavy rain.

3. The color of the plastic window of the rolling curtain of the chicken house. South and north, the lower part of the shutter should be dark, and the upper part should be transparent. And the upper transparent part accounts for no more than 1/3 of the window area. The lower part of the upper and lower rolling curtains should be equipped with wind-blowing facilities to facilitate heat preservation and prevent the entry of thieves.

4. The roof of the henhouse should be covered with straw for heat insulation and heat preservation.

5. The door of the chicken house for people to enter and leave should be firm and can be locked. Make eaves above the door and window to prevent Rain Water from drifting in.

6. Windows should be set up on the east and west walls of the chicken house to facilitate ventilation and cooling in summer.

7. Each small henhouse opens a floor window for chickens to enter and exit, and the adjacent floor windows should not face the same side.

8. Dig a well between the two new henhouses, which is used for drinking water and flushing the henhouse. The two houses are separated by a purse seine if necessary.

9. The henhouse starts from 10 meters north to the middle. Along the north direction, it will build a simple rain awning with a width of 2 to 2.5 meters, extending to the distal end, with a height of 1.5 meters, to shade the chickens from the sun and avoid heavy rain. Water pipes and automatic drinking fountains are arranged in the shed. Or build an independent rain-sun shed above each automatic water fountain, and the area of each shed is determined according to the situation (according to the density of fruit trees). The distance between each drinking fountain is 10 murmur12 meters.

10. The land outside the henhouse should be properly leveled, and the ditch should be covered to make it convenient for chickens to get in and out and walk outside.

11. there are 30 automatic drinking fountains in the chicken house and 20 outside the chicken house, a total of 50. The chicken coop needs to buy 60 buckets. Two sprayers.

12. The grass leaves are dry in winter and the insects hibernate, which is not suitable for raising chickens. If you want to do so, you must provide the chickens with corn meal, soybean meal, wheat bran, a large amount of leftover vegetables and vegetables in the greenhouse and other organic wastes every day. At present, the leftover vegetables can be eaten by chickens after picking in the greenhouse.

13. Build roads outside the chicken coop, install water, electricity and electricity in the chicken coop, and other facilities. Set up 4 energy-saving street lamps. A strong purse seine is set up around the orchard to prevent chickens from being stolen and fleeing.

Feeding and management of free-raised native chickens in orchard

1. Choose chicken breeds: local chickens are mainly selected for raising chickens in the orchard, which is not suitable for raising fast and large chicken breeds such as Avian. The local chicken has strong adaptability, strong disease resistance, rough feeding tolerance, strong legs and diligent foraging. Although the individual is small and the growth is slow, it is easy to manage, and its meat taste is good and the market price is high, so it is very popular with consumers. Apple orchard, chestnut orchard, peach orchard and so on are basically suitable for feeding this kind of chicken. When raising non-local chickens, be careful not to cut off your beak and toes, so as not to affect your feeding ability.

2. Chicken density: about 1500000 birds per mu of orchard were stocked at the first week after coming out of the warm room. At the age of the second week, about 1000 and 1500 birds per mu of orchard were stocked. The density should be decreased appropriately from the 3rd week.

3. Raising chickens: the resistance of young chickens is poor, so they can not be raised directly into the orchard, so it is necessary to create a comfortable growth environment to lay the foundation for their rapid growth. The specific feeding method is the same as that of caged breeding.

4. do a good job of de-heating: the de-heating period is generally at the age of 4 weeks. The external temperature is low, the internal and external temperature difference is large, the stress resistance of chickens is low, the regulation function is poor, can not adapt to the changes of the environment, so it is necessary to choose warm sunny days for stocking. In the first few days, stocking for 2-4 hours a day, and then increase the stocking time day by day, so that the chickens gradually adapt to the changes of the environment. In the first few days of stocking, due to the influence of group conversion and temperature removal, a certain amount of vitamin C or multivitamins can be added to feed or drinking water to prevent stress. Dogs are often kept in the orchard to guard the chickens. Do not let dogs and other beasts suddenly approach the chickens when they are stocked to avoid being frightened.

5. Feeding management: the feeding during the stocking period should follow the principle of "early should be less, late should be appropriate". At the same time, considering the poor foraging ability of young chicks, feeding should be done less frequently. In addition to feeding in the house in the morning and evening in the first week, Chinese food can be replenished once in the rest shed, and Chinese food can be exempted from the second week. The amount of breakfast can be reduced from the initial stage to 70%, and chickens over 5 weeks old can be reduced to 60% or less. Dinner must be full. The nutrition standard was gradually changed from full-price feed at the beginning of stocking (4th week) to cereal grains, and all changed to cereal grains after 5 weeks of age, which artificially prompted them to look for food in the orchard in order to increase the activity of chickens and eat more organic matter and nutrients. improve the meat quality and taste of chickens.

6. clean drinking water: place fixed drinking fountains in different areas of the orchard to prevent chickens from finding their own water sources and mistakenly drinking potions and groundwater. Especially during the spraying period in the orchard, attention should be paid to replenishing clear water to prevent chickens from spraying the remaining potions of fruit trees.

7. Environmental attention: pay attention to the strong cold air in the north to the south in winter and sudden changes in wind and clouds in summer, and beware of strong winds and heavy rain. Especially in the first one or two weeks of stocking, we should pay attention to listen to the weather forecast and observe the changes in the sky all the time. It is not a big problem to have strong resistance after 3 weeks of stocking. When the weather is fine, let the chickens out of the henhouse in the early morning and drive the chickens back to the henhouse when it gets dark in the evening. If the climate suddenly changes, the chicken should be called back in time.

8. pay attention to observation: raising chickens in the orchard is often not raised full-time, and when the chickens are stocked everywhere pecking insects and grass, it is not easy to find the abnormal state of chickens in time. If infectious diseases occur in chickens, the pathogenic microbes will spread throughout the environment. Therefore, when stocking, it is necessary to strengthen patrol and observation to find sick and weak chickens who are out of date, alone in a corner and in low spirits, and should be quarantined and treated in time. The number of chickens should be counted when they return to the house in the evening, so as to find out the problems in time, find out the causes and take effective measures.

Conclusion: in short, the feeding scale of native chickens should be considered when building chicken sheds, so that the design of chicken sheds is reasonable, and at the same time, the raising of chicks and the activity space and convenience of young chickens and commercial chickens should also be taken into account.
