Precautions against moisture in chicken coop in winter

There are many problems with chicken breeding in winter. The temperature is low, the humidity of the chicken house is high, and it is easy to cause the chicken house to wash low temperature and high humidity. This causes great harm to the growth and development of the chicken flock. Therefore, moisture prevention in the chicken house in winter is one of the key tasks for chicken breeding. What should be paid attention to in moisture prevention in winter? Let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian.

First, the harm of chicken house moisture

1. High humidity hazard

Too much humidity in chicken houses will decompose into feces and produce more harmful gases, causing frequent respiratory diseases in chickens; humid environment is also easy to cause frequent coccidiosis, low humidity in high temperature season, resulting in hot and humid chicken houses, easy to heatstroke, brood period and high temperature appear together, easy to cause asphyxiation death of chicks.

2. Low humidity hazard

Humidity is too low, chicks easy to dehydration, slow growth, chicken house humidity is too low, easy to cause dust flying, chicken house air pollution, respiratory diseases.

Second, winter chicken house moisture precautions

1. Pay attention to ventilation

Winter temperature is low, chicken house to control ventilation, when the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, wind speed should not exceed 0.1~0.2 meters per second, but also pay attention to anti-thief wind, in the case of appropriate ventilation, according to the machine ventilation, good output ventilation and heat preservation work contradiction.

2. Feeding density should not be too high

Winter temperature is low, many farmers will increase the breeding density to keep warm, but the breeding density is too high, will cause the chicken flock crowded, not conducive to moisture, the ground flat chicken flock should pay special attention to the breeding density appropriate

3. Water leakage from drinking utensils

To prevent leakage of drinking water appliances, once found to be sealed or replaced in a timely manner, the leakage will be cleaned up in time.

4. Change the grass mat frequently

Mat grass must be kept dry and sanitary, and must be replaced in time when it becomes wet.

5. Regular cleaning

Daily cleaning of the ground litter and feces, then reduce the main factor of moisture in the chicken house.

6. Disease prevention

In winter, we should actively prevent and treat bacterial enteritis and viral infectious diseases that cause wet ground in chicken houses, such as Newcastle disease, chicken transmission, chicken coccidiosis, etc.

7. Improve the microclimate in the chicken house

In winter, the chicken house is mainly insulated, and the minimum temperature of the chicken house shall not be lower than 12 degrees, in case the temperature is low and the humidity is too high, it is best to install heating equipment.

The above is the winter chicken house moisture precautions introduction, hope to help you, want to know more about the relevant knowledge, please pay attention to us.
