Several misunderstandings of raising chickens in rural areas

Raising chickens in rural areas is a very common phenomenon. In the past, basically every household raised chickens, but now the rural areas basically exist in the mode of small-scale farms, and of course, there are still a small number of family farms. However, there have been several major misunderstandings in raising chickens in rural areas, resulting in the low survival rate and quality of chickens. The following are some representative misunderstandings summarized by the pro-farm network. I hope it can help the friends who breed it.

1. Improper selection of chicken seedlings.

In fact, the choice of chicken seedlings is a mistake that many people make when raising chickens, that is, they will not think too much about the quality of chicken seedlings and the time when they are born, and buy them when they see that the price is lower than that in many places. in this way, there may be a lot of chicks themselves carrying the virus and then failing in the breeding technology, resulting in the death of a large number of chicks and heavy losses. Secondly, many people like the new and hate the old, like to raise some relatively new varieties, but may cause a large number of deaths because they can not adapt to the environment. Finally, some people think that as long as the survival rate is high, then it is not possible if the quality is not good, so we should comprehensively consider various factors and then choose the right breed for breeding.

2. Improper selection of feed.

The selection of feed is also something that many people do not pay much attention to. They feel that whatever feed they eat is about the same, so in order to reduce the cost of breeding, they buy some inferior feed at a low price and feed it for a long time. It may have a certain impact on the physical quality of chickens, such as rickets, pinkeye and the production of soft-shell eggs. Secondly, some people do not pay attention to the cost, so buy a large number of high-protein feed, but the general high-protein feed is only suitable for chicks, which will cause physical burden to adult chickens, thus causing gout and other diseases. Therefore, when choosing feed, we need to choose inexpensive feed according to the growth of chickens.

3. Improper health management

The sanitary editor of rural chicken farming has to mention here that there are many people who do not clean up chicken rings and chicken farms for a long time, and a large amount of feces accumulate plus water and some feed residues left when they are usually raised. This is very easy to breed bacteria, while chickens are more active, often tossing and turning in the feces, it is easy to be infected with bacteria. So we need to clean up these sundries from time to time and carry out disinfection and sterilization from time to time.

4. Improper feeding and management

Improper feeding and management is mainly manifested in that mixed breeding is too complex. In fact, the normal feeding method should be that chickens in different periods should be raised in groups, and Roosters and hens should also be raised separately. But in rural areas, many people, chickens, ducks, geese and other kinds of poultry are raised together, if diseases occur, the speed of infection is quite fast, so we had better adhere to the principle of all in and all out.

5. Improper use of drugs and vaccines

In fact, chicken breeding also needs to be vaccinated in different periods, and there is a special targeted drug treatment at the time of the disease, but there is such a phenomenon in rural areas, that is, when the chicken is sick, many people take medicine casually according to some symptoms of the chicken without a diagnosis, resulting in a more serious illness, followed by improper drinking water or improper diet after vaccination. There are all kinds of diseases, such as the failure of the vaccine, so when we use the medicine, we must make a diagnosis and make a reasonable use of the medicine, and separate the diseased chickens and raise them separately. The second thing is that the drinking water should be clean after vaccination, and should not be disinfected at the same time, because it may lead to vaccine failure.
