Advantages of broiler breeding

Broiler breeding is a breeding direction in our chicken industry, and the demand for broilers in our country is also relatively large. Raising chickens is mainly divided into three breeding directions, such as broilers, laying hens and breeder chickens, and the area of raising broilers should be the largest. Because the breeding of broilers has certain advantages over the other two kinds of breeding. So what are the advantages of broiler farming? The following editor brings you the advantages of broiler farming, let's have a look!

1. Fast growth rate

Broilers grow much faster than other chickens, especially in the early stages of growth. According to professional data survey, the weight of broilers who have just broken their shells is about 45 grams. After about two months of normal feeding, their weight can reach 2kg, and their growth speed is terrible. But it is also based on the premise of feeding and management in order to ensure its rapid growth.

2. the growth cycle is short.

Under the premise of fast growth rate of broilers, it indirectly shows the advantage of short growth cycle. After breaking the shell, after fine breeding, if nothing happens. It can be listed in two months. Its weight has fully reached the market standard, and we have enough time to clean the chicken coop and carry out disinfection and fumigation, which will only take about half a month. Farmed broilers can be raised in a batch of about 9-10 weeks. If there are enough chicks, they can be listed in about 5 batches a year with fast turnover.

3. High feed conversion rate

Broilers have large food intake and miscellaneous food habits, so the feed conversion rate is very high and basically no feed is wasted. Moreover, the digestive system of broilers is relatively strong, and the utilization rate of feed is also very high. Broilers mainly improve the growth rate and strengthen the growth nutrition to shorten their own growth cycle. And the high feed conversion rate can also reduce the feed cost and further improve the breeding efficiency.

4. High culture density

The breeding density of broilers is relatively high, and the space utilization rate of chicken sheds is high. The difference between broilers and laying hens is that broilers are inactive and quiet in nature, and they basically don't fight each other except for food and water in the breeding process. Even at a later stage, due to weight gain, the amount of activity will be greatly reduced. Although the density will gradually increase with the size of the broiler, but as long as we ensure the ventilation of the chicken house and improve the air quality, we can appropriately increase the breeding density and increase the number of the final column.

5. Can be raised mechanically

Broilers are very suitable for mechanical feeding because of their quiet and inactive nature. Mechanical feeding can effectively reduce manpower and reduce the labor cost of breeding. The general method of raising broilers is caged, which has a high density, and almost all the management work can be carried out in the chicken cage. Such as feeding, feces cleaning, disease prevention and egg picking and so on. The use of this fully automatic mechanical feeding method can not only improve the efficiency, but also improve the breeding benefit.

The above is a brief introduction to the advantages of broiler farming. Broilers can not only be meat-based. Hens will also lay eggs in the breeding process, if there are a large number of eggs, the profit of their eggs is also very considerable. However, broiler breeding requires everyone to do a good job in feeding and management and strengthen their own breeding technology in order to maximize the benefits of broiler breeding, otherwise the advantages of broiler breeding will disappear.
