The feeding method of saving feed for chickens

The cost of feed accounts for about 70% of the cost of raising chickens, so saving feed to reduce costs is the main way to improve the economic benefits of raising chickens. The following methods can be taken to save materials:

1. Raise fine varieties. The production performance of superior breeds of chickens is much higher than that of other breeds with the same age and the same feed consumption. At present, there are more than ten high-yield laying hens and broiler breeds in the world, most of which have been introduced in China. The laying hens adapted to the north are mainly Roman, Haisai, Highland and other excellent breeds.

two。 Eliminate the rooster in time. The chicks were eliminated before or after 21 days of age. If it is not eliminated in time, it will not only consume more material, but also occupy more feed area, spend more manpower and material resources, and interfere with the normal life of mother chicks and affect their growth and development. The male-female ratio of breeder flock should be appropriate, the male-female ratio of laying hens is 1 ∶ 15: 20, and that of broilers is 1 ∶ 9: 14. If artificial insemination technology is adopted, the ratio of male and female hens can be increased to 1 ∶ 30 × 50, thus reducing a large amount of feed consumption.

3. Scientific feeding. ① is fed with full-price feed. The formula of full-price feed is reasonable, which can fully meet the needs of chicken growth and development and egg production, and the utilization rate is high. ② Science Feed. Although the wet feed is palatable, it is easy to cause waste due to rancidity in summer, and too cool in winter affects digestion. The best way is to change the wet material into dry material and give enough drinking water. ③ adjusts the feed. All kinds of nutrients in the diet were adjusted according to the production environment and egg production of chickens. The content of energy, protein and restricted amino acids in the diet should be increased when the weather is hot and the house temperature is high, and energy should be increased appropriately when the weather is cold. Practice has proved that adjusting feed is one of the ways to improve production performance and reduce cost. ④ strengthens daily management to keep the henhouse at a suitable temperature. The best temperature for laying eggs is 24 ℃ ~ 27 ℃. In summer, attention should be paid to cooling, cold and warm protection should be done in winter, feed restriction should be combined with controlled light, and the amount of feeding should be adjusted in time with the rise and fall of air temperature and the increase or decrease of body weight, so as to give full play to the best economic benefit.

4. Improve the level of feeding and management. Breeders should delve into feeding knowledge, sum up experience, constantly improve the level of feeding management, make reasonable use of feeding equipment, ensure uniform feeding, no material leakage in material trough, take material quantitatively and reduce unnecessary waste of feed.

5. Cut off your beak at the right time. In general, the beak was cut off at the age of 6-9 days and 10-12 weeks, respectively, and the upper and lower beaks were removed at 1 and 3 respectively, so that they could not only eat the feed but not sprinkle the feed.

6. Pay attention to bird control and rodent control. It is necessary to pay attention to the stealing or biting of rats, birds and insects, strengthen feeding management, and take effective measures to prevent birds and rodents, which not only prevent feed waste, but also reduce the spread of diseases.

7. Eliminate non-laying hens in time. Timely elimination of diseased, weak, crippled chickens and low-production and stop-production chickens to improve the production performance of the population and obtain higher benefits.

8. Pay attention to the safekeeping of feed. Scientific preservation of feed will not cause feed mildew deterioration, increased fat oxidation, moth eating, rodent damage and so on. Storage should be protected from light, clean, ventilated, insect-proof and rodent-proof, and should be dealt with in time once problems are found.
