As soon as the Spring Festival begins to raise chicks, early spring chicks should beware of lack of oxygen.

After the Spring Festival, many chicken farmers begin to raise chicks, but because they fail to deal with the relationship between cold protection and ventilation in the chicken house, it often leads to lack of oxygen in the house, which seriously affects the growth of chicks, thus reducing the efficiency of raising chickens.

Raising chicks

First, the performance of hypoxia. Anoxic chicks, depressed spirit, screaming, open mouth breathing, panting, neck shaking head, refusing to eat and drink less, chicken beak cyanosis turned blue. In severe cases, the whole body's skin is cyanotic, feet turn blue, fall to the ground and die.

Second, the cause of hypoxia:

1. The feeding density is too large: in the brooding stage, many chicken farmers increase the temperature by increasing the breeding density, resulting in a lack of oxygen in the house.

2. Heating with open fire: in order to increase the temperature of the nursery, chicken farmers burn firewood, carbon, coal and so on in the nursery. When burning, they not only consume a lot of oxygen, but also release a large amount of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. In addition, a lot of smoke from inadequate combustion of fuel can also lead to less and less oxygen and more harmful gases in the house.

3. Fecal fermentation: when raising chicks in early spring, many chicken farmers worry that the removal of padding and excrement will affect the temperature of the brooding house, so they reduce the replacement times of padding and excreta, so that it can ferment under suitable conditions and produce a large amount of harmful gases. at the same time, it also consumes oxygen in the house, resulting in lack of oxygen in the nursery.

3. Preventive measures:

1. Expand the brooding area at the right time: in order to stabilize the temperature and meet the requirements of heat preservation, the "house in the house" can be built with plastic film. In order to save energy and facilitate management, the scope of brooding should be reduced at the beginning, and then the area of the "house in the house" should be appropriately expanded with the acceleration of the growth of chicks. To judge the freshness of the air, people can't smell the smell when they enter the house, and they don't feel depressed or depressed. Timely open the gap at the top and near the ground in the "room in the house" to let fresh air flow through the gap to achieve the purpose of breathing.

2. Select suitable heat sources: in order to avoid some heat sources competing with chicks for oxygen and to avoid releasing harmful gases and smoke during combustion, open fire fuels such as firewood, coal, charcoal and rice bran should be avoided as far as possible when raising chicks. And the use of power, Kang Road heat preservation form.

3. Select the sunny and warm weather to remove the chicken bedding and excrement in time, and spread the new bedding quickly.

4. Spraying oxygenating drugs: in order to effectively prevent the hypoxia of chicks, peracetic acid can be sprayed in the house timely, which can increase oxygen, disinfect the chicken house, and neutralize some harmful alkaline gases.
