Scientific breeding of chickens, small investment, small scale and large income

Chicken breeding is one of the breeding industries commonly engaged in by the vast number of urban and rural people in our country at the present stage. The breeding industry has the characteristics of less investment, small scale and quick effect. In recent years, the number of chicken farmers in China is increasing, and the number of chickens is also increasing rapidly. However, because many farmers do not master the technology of raising chickens, there are still a lot of wrong views on raising chickens. Therefore, it is necessary for us to gradually improve people's scientific level of chicken management in order to ensure the healthy development of the chicken industry, which is also one of the most urgent responsibilities of farmers.

1. Common and optional methods of raising chickens

1. The method of raising chickens in plastic greenhouse

Raising chicken in plastic greenhouse is a kind of chicken raising method with less investment but higher income, which is worth popularizing and applying in preliminary chicken farmers and chicken farmers with poor economic conditions. The advantage of this chicken raising method is that it is convenient to obtain materials, and ordinary agricultural film can be used as the main material of chicken house in plastic greenhouse, and bamboo and grass curtains and other materials can be used at the same time. These materials are relatively easy to obtain, build as needed, and easy to build, time-saving and labor-saving, can achieve the effect of the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry. And raising chickens can also fertilize the fields and reduce pollution to the environment. In addition, due to the transparent characteristics of the plastic greenhouse, it can be irradiated by the sun, which is helpful to improve the survival rate of domestic chickens.

2. Raise chickens in natural areas such as mountains.

China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and there are natural green fodder areas such as grasslands, woodlands, orchards and barren beaches in many places. At the same time, there are also a lot of insects and other animal feed in these areas, which are very beneficial to the stocking of domestic chickens. The method of raising chickens in mountainous areas has the advantages of better isolation conditions, can reduce the occurrence of chicken diseases, make its survival rate higher, and at the same time less investment. This method of raising chickens not only reduces the cost of raising, but also has the advantages of unique flavor and delicious taste, so it is welcomed by the majority of consumers.

3. The method of raising chickens in cages is suitable for raising a large number of chickens, in addition to raising chickens in plastic greenhouses and in mountainous areas, there is also a method of raising chickens in cages. Commonly used chicken cages can be divided into brooding, breeding, broilers and laying cages. The method of raising chickens in chicken cages has the characteristics of high feeding density, and its feeding conditions are more convenient for manual control, which can ensure the laying rate of laying hens and the weight gain rate of broilers at the same time. This method consumes less materials, saves space and padding materials, and is welcomed by chicken farmers and producers.

Second, the preliminary preparation of scientific chicken raising

1. it is necessary to work out the production plan of the chicken farm.

Before raising chickens, we should first make a detailed production plan according to the scale and nature of the chicken farm. A practical and feasible annual production plan can be conducive to the overall arrangement of all kinds of chicken raising work, including the preparation of chicken herd turnover plan, egg laying plan, feed production and supply plan, etc. When making a plan, the data of the type and quantity of feed that can be produced and need to be purchased should be recorded respectively, and it should be noted that the formulation of the plan should adapt to the change of season. In addition, it is necessary to formulate a good product sales plan, including breeding eggs, chicks, edible eggs, manure and other factors, health and epidemic prevention plan and employment plan, as well as a variety of daily consumption accounting should also be included in the plan.

2. Selection of chicken breeds

At present, according to the national situation, the degree of improved breeding of chickens is already quite high, so the selection of breeds should be based on the needs of the market. When choosing and buying chicks, you should go to breeding farms with high levels of science, technology and management. The epidemic prevention measures in these farms are better, and the quality of chicken seedlings is relatively high, so that the chicks purchased will not have too many diseases. The goal of saving raw materials can also be achieved. In addition, good chicken farms have good after-sales service, which eliminates a lot of worries.

3. Chicken feed selection and feeding management.

The preparation of chicken feed is the basis of the chicken industry, and the feed expenditure accounts for more than half of the cost of raising chickens. To choose high-quality and affordable feed for feeding, in the selection of chicken feed, strictly according to the different stages of chicken growth and development to choose or prepare appropriate feed, the chicken stage can choose full-price pellet feed, to the chicken out of the column about ten days before the choice of fat chicken feed, this can improve the meat quality of domestic chickens, so that the weight of chickens, so as to improve the efficiency of raising chickens. When using the feed, we should pay attention to observe the color and smell of the feed, and stop using it immediately if there are abnormal phenomena such as agglomeration, moisture and mildew, so as not to cause huge losses. In the process of raising chickens, raising chicks is a particularly key link. It is necessary to thoroughly disinfect the nursery and appliances, and at the same time strictly control the temperature in the house, depending on the change of season. A little glucose can be added to the chicken's first drinking water, and finally, attention should be paid to the hygiene and ventilation of the chicken environment.

III. Methods and measures to improve the technology of raising chickens scientifically

1. Improve the consciousness of raising chickens scientifically and learn the techniques of raising chickens.

As farmers should first realize the feeding policy of giving priority to prevention, farmers who have just begun to raise chickens should understand the basic knowledge of scientific management and epidemic prevention and control, including density, ventilation, lighting time, preparation of chicken feed, formulation of epidemic immunity procedures and other aspects to improve the quality of farmers and the ability to learn technology. In addition to having scientific guidance, farmers should also strengthen their study, read books, periodicals and newspapers on scientific breeding and breeding information, apply the theoretical knowledge they have learned to production practice, and then constantly explore and summarize it. finally improve the skills of aquaculture, so that the aquaculture cause is better and better.

2. do a good job in the hygiene of the breeding environment and improve the quality of adult chickens.

It is necessary to do a good job in the environment for raising chickens and the hygiene of the chicken coop, to clean and remove chicken droppings regularly, and to carry out strict disinfection measures to reduce the concentration of toxic gases such as ammonia and carbon dioxide in the chicken house as far as possible. Before entering the chicken, you can spray and disinfect the chicken house to make the chicken house in a sterile state and reduce the epidemic caused by the pollution of the chicken house. In addition, we should also pay attention to ventilation, while strengthening ventilation, do not ignore the heat preservation measures of the chicken coop to make the temperature suitable. Of course, if the temperature in the brooding room is too high, it will also cause low relative humidity in the house before brooding, and domestic chickens are prone to respiratory diseases.

3. Prevent diseases of domestic chickens and do a good job in daily health care.

The prevention and control of diseases in domestic chickens is particularly important for chicken farmers. Many chicken diseases are prone to infection and do great harm, so it is necessary to thoroughly do a good job in epidemic prevention and health care of chickens. The cause of chicken disease may be due to improper feed matching or too high and low temperature and trauma, or it may be caused by drug overdose or inhalation of harmful gases. It is necessary to do a good job in the prevention and management of chicken diseases, pay more attention to observe the production status of chickens, and record the feeding, drinking water, feces and various states of chickens. Through the analysis and arrangement of the records, find the problems in time and take corresponding measures. For the epidemic diseases with great harm, effective vaccines should be used to vaccinate other flocks according to the development of the disease.

Therefore, to sum up, only by mastering the scientific and professional chicken raising technology can we raise chickens well.
