Matters needing attention in broiler breeding in winter

Because of the fast growth rate of broilers in winter, the adaptability to the environment has decreased, and affected by feed quality and other reasons, resulting in low feed remuneration of broilers, and finally affect the economic benefits. So what should we pay attention to in broiler breeding in winter? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. Timely ventilation

The temperature in winter is very cold, and the required temperature of the chicken house is very different from that of the outside world. it is necessary to do a good job of ventilation and heat preservation. When ventilating, we should pay attention to the high and low temperature in the storage house, strictly prevent the excessive temperature difference from causing stress reaction and disease, the vent should be more than 1.5 meters higher than the back of the chicken. When the working temperature drops suddenly, the heat preservation work can not keep up, which will often cause the broiler to feel cold, cough, sneeze and dyspnea. Therefore, breeders should do a good job of temperature change, do a good job of cold prevention and heat preservation, and prevent thieves from attacking chickens.

2. Prevention of ammonia accumulation

Winter temperature is cold, in addition to heat preservation work, but also timely removal of chicken droppings and wet bedding, if not cleaned up in time, will lead to ammonia accumulation in the chicken house, increased concentration, resulting in ammonia poisoning or disease in broilers. And because of the accumulation of ammonia, the relative lack of oxygen, coupled with the cold climate, chicken metabolism is fast, for fast-growing broilers, ascites disease is very easy to occur. So farmers should lay more than 5 cm cushion to prevent water leakage from the sink to wet the cushion, remove feces and wet cushion in time when the humidity is too high, or use ammonia deodorant to reduce the ammonia concentration of the chicken house.

3. Reasonable feeding

The diet should be arranged according to the feeding standard according to the different growth stages of broilers, because the temperature in winter is lower, the heat consumption of broilers is higher, the drug humidity increases the metabolic energy standard of feed, and the proportion of protein should be reduced appropriately at the same time. At the same time, it is necessary to meet the needs of vitamins. Feed should be fed now to prevent freezing, conditions can be fed after heating, the configuration of feed must be mildew-free, no impurities, in order to prevent respiratory diseases.

4. Feeding and management

In the process of breeding, it is necessary to disinfect regularly, strictly prevent the spread of disease, persist in disinfection with chickens, eliminate rodent damage, isolate sick chickens from healthy chickens after the disease, and deeply bury dead chickens. In the process of breeding, the necessary stress factors should be reduced as much as possible, and all feasible measures should be taken to make the chickens feed, so as to ensure the energy needs of the body and enhance the disease resistance of chickens.
