Dampness is easy to slow down the growth of broilers how to prevent dampness in farmed broilers

When the humidity is too high and the ground cushion is wet, it is easy to hinder the growth of chicks and broilers and reduce the feed reward. When humidity and temperature are high at the same time, chicken somatosensory temperature increases, body temperature emission decreases, anorexia because of muggy heat, affecting weight gain; in high temperature and low humidity, humidity will reduce the somatosensory temperature of broilers, body temperature distribution increases, easy to suffer cold. All these conditions will hinder the growth and development of broilers.

Broiler

The reproductive performance decreased. From the point of view of nutrition, in the wet season, the feed intake of broilers decreased, coupled with the rapid reproduction of mold in feed, destroying the composition of feed and reducing the absorption of feed, so that the fertilization rate of adult broilers decreased, the number of eggs decreased, and the nutrients of breeding eggs were inadequate. it is easy to cause dead embryos, weak embryos or weak chicks, resulting in a decrease in hatching rate and an increase in weak chicks. From the point of view of disease, the dampness of breeding chicken bedding and living environment can easily increase the possibility of contamination of breeding eggs and bacteria enter the eggs. Eggs with bacteria are easy to burst in the process of hatching, or cause dead embryos, weak embryos or weak chicks, and the initial mortality rate of broilers is higher.

Moisture-proof technical measures

When the ground is flat, the cushion material is easy to agglomerate because of moisture, so it should be replaced and cleaned up in time. In general, the cushion material should be changed once a day, or add a layer of dry material. If there are conditions, it should be kept off the ground or raised in cage.

Prevent leakage. Cement cover the floor, the ditch inside and outside the chicken house should be well drained, the drinking fountain or sink should be placed on the cement floor or barbed wire platform in the non-cushion area, the ditch will directly discharge the overflow out of the house, the faucet, drinking fountain, do not leak.

Do not use spray disinfection as much as possible. When you have to use it, you should appropriately increase the concentration and reduce water consumption.

In terms of breeding. The salt content in the diet is less than 0.4%, do not allow broilers to eat high levels of sulfite, do not misuse laxatives, and so on.

Spread 500 grams of quicklime per square meter, which is used to resist the activities of microorganisms in the cushion and reduce moisture.
