Key points of chicken management in spring

The temperature began to rise in spring, and the chicken also entered the stage of rapid growth, but the temperature was sometimes high and sometimes low, which also had a great impact on the growth of the chicken. If farmers can seize this opportunity, then the economic benefits of aquaculture will be greatly improved, but if the farming management is improper, the natural loss is also relatively large. So what do we need to pay attention to when breeding in spring? Today, let's learn the management skills of raising chickens next spring.

1. Heat preservation and moisture prevention

The temperature change in spring is still relatively large, so we still have to do a good job of heat preservation treatment, not just because of the spring will be removed insulation equipment. Under normal circumstances, we can appropriately increase the breeding density, close the doors and windows, add thermal insulation cushions and use stoves for heating. Secondly, the air humidity in the spring farm is relatively high. In order to avoid excessive dampness in the chicken house, we also need to keep the chicken house dry and clean and repair the chicken house and sink in time. When feeding water, you should not add too much water, it is best not to splash water on the ground for cleaning, if you must splash water, it should also be dried afterwards.

2. Make up the light and ventilation

Lack of light, which will affect the laying rate of layers, affect the growth of broilers, so there must be sufficient light. This means that in the case of insufficient light, we have to carry out artificial lighting, and the daily lighting market should be guaranteed to be 16 hours or more. Due to the low temperature in spring, the doors and windows are basically closed and less ventilated, which will affect the air of the chicken coop, form harmful gases and cause some respiratory diseases. Therefore, although the temperature is low, we also need reasonable ventilation every day to ensure the ventilation in the chicken coop, at the same time, the ventilation time should not be too long, and the cold wind can not blow directly to the chickens.

3. Disinfection and disease prevention

Disinfection is very important in the whole breeding process. Especially in spring, epidemic diseases occur frequently. in order to avoid infection, comprehensive and thorough disinfection should be carried out every half a month or so. In addition, the resistance of chickens in spring is weak, so we are prepared for disease prevention and treatment, vaccination should be carried out regularly, and according to the specific situation, we should scientifically feed some drugs and feeds to improve immunity. Only in this way can we maximize the economic benefits of breeding.

4. Increase energy and reduce excitation

In fact, the popular way to increase energy and reduce stress is to replenish energy and reduce stress response. Energy supplement is mainly carried out through feeding to ensure the nutritional balance of feed, and reasonable supplement of protein feed, starch and sugar to meet the needs of chicken growth as much as possible. There are also many kinds of stress responses of chickens in spring, such as cold stress, immune stress, shock and so on. When the temperature is low, it should be appropriately increased to high-energy feed, and the cooling money should be given to chickens to take anti-cold stress drugs; secondly, it is necessary to prepare against stress in advance when vaccination, such as improving the immunity of chickens; finally, the environment of the farm is kept quiet, strangers are not allowed to enter the chicken coop, and the action is slow in the process of feeding.

Spring breeding is the most important of these points, generally if the above four points can be achieved, then basically there will be no problem. The editor will introduce you here today. If you want to know more about chicken technology, you can follow us.
