Luhua chicken is a kind of native chicken breed in China, which has a very large breeding area in our country. Luhua chicken is also a kind of chicken used for eggs and meat, which is very rich in nutrients and is welcomed by many people. When we breed Luhua chicken, we should adjust the feeding method according to its growth stage. So how to raise it during the rearing period of Luhua chicken? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. First drink in time

Generally speaking, the first drink of Luhua chicks is the earlier the better, because the chicks will consume a lot of water after breaking their shells. Therefore, the early drinking time of chicks has a lot to do with their growth and even the survival rate. Early drinking water can also promote the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract of chicks, enhance the appetite of chicks, improve the absorption rate of feed and the survival rate of chicks. When drinking water, an appropriate amount of glucose and water-soluble vitamins can be added to the water, which can not only supplement energy, but also improve the disease resistance of chicks. When drinking water the week before, it is best to use the drinking fountain, change water about 5 times a day, can not cut off water, wash drinking water once a day, disinfect once every two weeks.

2. Eat at the right time

The feeding of Luhua chicken after breaking its shell is very important, which will directly affect the growth of Luhua chicken in the later stage. The feeding time of Luhua chicken should be about three hours after the first drink. The starting feed can choose some expanded pellet feed, such as full price feed for broilers, etc. Do not feed too much at a time, each chick can be fed about one gram, but to feed more, about three hours to feed once. Mix the feed evenly and sprinkle it directly on the plate. At the beginning of the fourth day, you can use the bucket to feed, and you have to feed about 4 times a day.

3. Temperature control

The temperature of the chick should be controlled at about 34 degrees in the first three days after the shell is broken. If the chick's physique is poor, then it should be appropriately increased by about one degree. Then the temperature stays around 32 degrees for a week. To keep the temperature uniform is very important for the growth and development of chicks. The temperature difference of each place in the henhouse should not exceed one degree, if the temperature is not uniform, then the development of chicks will be different, leading to the difficulty of raising chicks. Then we should also pay attention to stability when the chicks are out of temperature, and keep the degree of cooling at about 1 degree every day. To ensure a smooth de-heating, chicks can safely pass through the rearing period.

4. Humidity control

We also need to pay more attention to the humidity in the chicken coop, which should be kept at about 50%. If the humidity is not enough, then Luhua chicks are prone to dehydration, the air is too dry, and there will be more dust, which will cause greater damage to the respiratory tract of chicks and easily cause respiratory diseases. Humidity should not be too high, otherwise it is easy to cause a variety of diseases. Then we should pay attention to the bad environment of all kinds of chicken sheds, such as high temperature and low humidity, high humidity and low temperature, we should take various methods such as chicken disinfection, ventilation, warming and other methods to adjust, so as to create a good growth environment for chicks.

The above is a brief introduction to how to raise Luhua chicken during the rearing period. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
