Techniques of raising chickens in summer

Hot and hot in summer, it is a very uncomfortable weather, but for chickens, they wear thick feathers and are even more uncomfortable, and summer is also a season with a high incidence of disease, and a large number of chickens die in summer every day in many farms. So what should we pay attention to in raising chickens in summer? Let's take a look at the skills of raising chickens in summer.

1. Reduce the density of culture

The feather of the chicken is plump, cold-resistant but especially afraid of heat, so in the summer high temperature, according to the rising temperature, the breeding density will come down, if the breeding density is too high, the heat dissipation of the chicken is not good, light will make the chicken depressed, low appetite, and gradually emaciated. Generally in summer, it is most appropriate to raise 4-5 chickens per square meter, which should be adjusted appropriately with the change of temperature.

2. Cool down and prevent summer heat

At high temperatures in summer, chickens can only breathe through one mouth.When the temperature is higher than 25 degrees Celsius, chickens begin to gasp, and when the temperature is too high, the feed intake of chickens decreases, their growth slows down, and their income is affected. Therefore, when the temperature of the chicken house is lowered in summer, when the temperature is higher than 25 degrees, the doors and windows of the chicken house should be opened in time to make the air convection and take away the heat; and when the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, an Arbor should be built in the chicken house to cover the yin and avoid the sun. When the temperature continues to rise, we can spray water on the ground and the roof of the chicken house at high temperature to cool down, but we should pay attention to ventilation measures. High temperature makes the water evaporate, which is easy to cause high temperature and high humidity environment, which is more disadvantageous to the growth of chickens.

3. Scientific feeding

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, so it is necessary to appropriately increase the number of feeding times, preferably every 3-4 hours, and pay attention to the time method when feeding. The temperature in the morning and evening in summer is lower, so it should be fed more in the morning and evening, while the noon temperature. The chicken has a poor appetite, so it should be fed less. Feed to reduce the content of protein, in addition, the ratio of corn to sorghum should also be reduced, so as not to cause the burden of liver and kidney of chickens, which is easy to breed diseases.

4. Change drinking water frequently

High temperature in summer, chicken drinking water is several times the usual, so in summer must improve adequate, clean, cool drinking water, drinking water is best placed in a cool place to prevent the sun from getting hot. Drinking water must be changed frequently, high temperature in summer, the water quality is easy to deteriorate, affecting the health of chickens, generally 1-2 times a day.

5. Disease prevention and control

The breeding of bacteria, microorganisms and mosquitoes and flies in summer are easy to occur and transmit diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the environmental hygiene and disinfection of chicken sheds to prevent the occurrence of diseases. The chicken house should be cleaned 1-2 times a day and disinfected once a week. In addition, the breeding equipment should be cleaned regularly, vaccinated in time to prevent and cure the disease, and the sick chickens should be isolated in time to judge the right medicine for the disease.
