Common problems of raising chickens under the forest

Ecologically farmed chickens are very popular in the market, so now many growers have started to raise chickens under the forest. Due to the recent rise of technology, some problems have not been paid attention to by many growers. Here are some common questions for you.

1. Variety selection

Raising chickens under the forest pursues the original ecological high-quality broilers, so the selection of breeds is more important. Some breeds raised by this model are not as good as ordinary ones, and the economic benefits are very low. At present, the chicken breeds that are suitable for raising chickens under the forest are green-footed pheasant, Langshan pheasant, Wuhei chicken and other breeds, which will get twice the result with half the effort with this model. Therefore, the selection of seeds must be investigated in many aspects, so that their own interests are protected, and seeds cannot be selected at will.

2. Site selection

The second is the problem of the site, in the eyes of many farmers, this model requires the site to be raised casually and quickly, this idea is extremely wrong. Many factors should be considered when selecting the land for raising chickens under the forest. first of all, the vegetation and grass need to be relatively rich, which can reduce the feeding cost, preferably more nearby insects and so on. Then the terrain also needs to be considered, so that some materials can be reduced when enclosing the land, and it is not easy for the chickens to run out. The surrounding environment is better, there are no pollutants, so the quality of the chicken is good. Finally, it is safer to be around, and there is no threat from snakes, weasels and other creatures. These are some of the factors that should be carefully considered when choosing a site.

3. Feed problem

Feed is also one of the problems easy to be ignored by under-forest chicken farmers. Keep in mind that the feed requirements of chickens in this mode are not much lower than those of ordinary farmers, and they have to be fed about 3-4 times a day. Raising chickens under the forest is more to let chickens have more room for movement, better living environment, eat relatively fresh green grass, and feed is still an indispensable part of the fattening process. Many farmers feel that their chickens raised in this mode grow very slowly, so basically they have not done a good job in this respect.

4. Management problems

Some farmers may think that raising chickens under the forest will be relatively easier and do not need too much management time. In fact, this kind of thinking is also wrong. Under this mode, the site required for the same scale is much larger than the ordinary one, and the safety aspect also needs to be paid more attention to, so farmers need to spend no less time, perhaps more. Every day to check the situation of the guardrail, to inspect it to see if there is something wrong with the chickens, what needs to be added, whether there are any chickens that did not come to eat during feeding, and so on. There are too many places to manage. And this happens to be a very important link, and the problem of management is another area that chicken farmers under the forest should pay attention to.

The above are several issues that are easy to be ignored by chicken farmers under the forest. In fact, there are a lot of other details that need to be paid attention to. With the opening up of this model, there will be more things to face, especially in all kinds of bad weather.
