Technology of raising chickens under the forest: raising firewood chickens

"our green firewood chicken here is in high demand! All this can be attributed to the party's good policies to support and help our farmers develop the economy under the forest. Raising chickens under the forest can kill three birds with one stone: caterpillar fungus and grass under the trees are food, saving feed money; adult chickens and eggs sell well, two or three times higher than the market price; chicken manure enriches the soil, and poplar trees generally grow up a year or two ahead of time. " This is the advantage of raising chickens under the forest.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the development of pollution-free food has become a major direction, there are more and more chickens under the forest, but most farmers do not know enough about the technology of raising firewood chickens under the forest, resulting in reduced economic benefits. Raising firewood chickens under the forest mainly grasps the following links:

1 site selection

Raising firewood chicken can not be raised in any woodland. We should choose woodland with high dryness, good drainage conditions, good ventilation and light transmittance, preferably intercropping forage grass under the forest, and avoid raising firewood chicken under the economic forest (apple, pear, apricot, peach and other tree species).

2 do a good job in the prevention and control of epidemic diseases

In accordance with the requirements of chicken growth, brooding should be concentrated in the nearest township (or top area), and then released in the forest for about 30 days, and epidemic prevention should be done during brooding. The specific epidemic prevention procedures are as follows: at the age of 1 day, Marek's disease vaccine was injected subcutaneously in the neck. At the age of 5 days and 17 days, eye drops and nasal drops were given with the new kidney branch 28 prime 86 vaccine. At the age of 11 and 25, the mice were intranasally injected with bursal disease vaccine, and at 30 days old, they were injected subcutaneously with Xinzhi H52 vaccine. If you need to be vaccinated after stocking, it is best to be immunized with drinking water, and if you need to be injected or inoculated, you should also arrange for the chickens to be isolated into small groups and then immunized one by one after returning to the nest at night, so as to reduce the stress of the chickens.

3 the supply of feed

According to the forage and insect resources in the forest, we should formulate a reasonable number and quantity of artificial supplementary feeding at least once a day, and put it in the evening, which is more conducive to the normal growth and development of chickens and improve economic benefits; drinking water should be kept clean and sanitary at least once a day, especially in hot summer.

4 Environmental disinfection

As free-range chickens come into direct contact with the external environment, higher requirements are put forward for environmental hygiene and disinfection compared with house-fed chickens. In general, the site should be disinfected once a week to reduce the presence of pathogenic microorganisms. In the selection of disinfectants, a variety of rotation, cross-use. The commonly used disinfectants are: ① compound phenols: bacterial enemy, Farmer, Bacteriotoxin, Lysol, etc., which have a good killing effect on pathogenic microorganisms. ② aldehydes: glutaraldehyde, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde and other highly effective disinfectants, their gases or liquids have a strong role in killing microorganisms. ③ quaternary amine salts: disinfection-99, permethrin, etc., have a good killing effect on bacterial vegetative forms and lipophilic viruses. ④ chlorine-containing preparation: 84 disinfectant, Shidujing, Youchujing and so on. It can kill all types of microorganisms and can be used for drinking water disinfection. ⑤ peroxides: peracetic acid and so on, the disinfection effect is good, the price is cheap, but has certain corrosiveness.

How to save feed when raising firewood chickens under the forest:

Farmers feeding firewood chickens under the forest, it is easy to cause feed waste, in the production process to take the following measures can effectively prevent feed waste.

Scientific selection of material trough or bucket, reasonable control of feeding amount because bulk Chai chickens are easy to be crowded when eating, and often overturn the trough or bucket, resulting in feed waste, so the trough or bucket should be fixed in the process of feeding, and its height is consistent with the height of the chicken back. and the number should be increased appropriately. Each feeding amount should not be too much, add to the trough or bucket capacity of 1 beat 3, it is appropriate to eat the chicken in 40 minutes. Feed 4 times a day, feed more in the early morning and cool in the evening in summer, and feed less when the temperature is high at noon.

Scientific ingredients, reduce feed costs and make use of local raw materials, and select cheap raw materials on the premise of keeping the feeding standard unchanged, so as to effectively reduce feed costs, for example, cake raw materials can be used to replace part of fish meal, or sesame cake, peanut meal and rapeseed meal can be used to replace part of soybean meal.

Timely elimination of chickens that do not meet the standards refers to sick, weak, disabled individuals and hens that are low or discontinued. In addition, it is necessary to eliminate superfluous Roosters in time.

Scientific storage of feed and raw materials in the warehouse should be dry and ventilated to prevent feed from mildew. When purchasing raw materials, we should purchase a small amount of raw materials many times according to the needs of production, so as to minimize the storage time of raw materials so as to prevent them from mildew. In addition, it is also necessary to prevent rodent and bird damage and reduce unnecessary waste.
