Chicken raising is a project to get rich, so how should we start the chicken raising business? We can visit the chicken cage, determine the number of our own breeding, and customize our own breeding plan according to the number of breeding, so as to start our own business.
一.What to prepare for raising chickens
Why does chicken farm selection matter
The location of the chicken house needs to understand the local climatic conditions and sanitation and epidemic prevention, and stay away from factors that are not conducive to epidemic prevention (such as main traffic lines, chemical plants, slaughterhouses, etc.). Do a good job in the planning and layout of the site, and avoid risks in a scientific and reasonable way for the construction and construction of the chicken house. The cycle of adult roosters and free-range hens is different) and other factors, so choose the appropriate chicken house construction mode.
What equipment should be in a chicken house
- Chicken cage
Chicken cages for raising chickens are generally prepared to assemble chicken cages, breeding chicken cages, breeder cages, etc. Among them, the assembled chicken cage is a form of assembling a single chicken cage into a cage group, including a full-step chicken cage, a half-step chicken cage, an overlapping chicken cage, and a single-layer parallel type. Breeding chicken cages generally use 2-3 layers of overlapping or semi-step cages. There are single-layer cages and two-layer artificial insemination chicken cages. The former is for natural mating of males and females in the same cage, and the latter is often used in artificial insemination chicken farms.
Fully automatic chicken cages will make raising chickens easier
- Drinking utensils
Common drinking water has pumps, water towers, filters, limiting valves, drinking fountains and piping facilities, etc., while the commonly used drinking fountains are long sinks, vacuum drinking fountains, nipple drinking fountains, cup drinking fountains, hanging tray drinking fountains, etc.
- Feeding utensils
Common feeders include troughs, barrels, feeders, and storage towers. Among them, the trough can be made into large, medium and small size long troughs. Feeding buckets are commonly used feeding equipment in the modern chicken industry. The feeder is specially designed to solve the high labor intensity of chicken farm workers and the non-standard facility layout of medium and small chicken farms. The storage tower is generally located at one end or side of the chicken house, and the feed is sent to the feeding trough by the feeder.
- Manure cleaning equipment
The manure cleaning tools can generally choose a traction type manure scraper and a conveyor belt for manure removal. Among them, the traction type manure scraper is mainly used for cleaning manure in one or more manure ditches on the same plane, and can also be used for linked manure removal upstairs and downstairs. Conveyor belt cleaning is often used for high-density overlapping cages. The excrement directly falls on the conveyor belt through the gap of the bottom net, which can save the manure bearing plate and the manure ditch.
- Other appliances
Lighting facilities, thermometers, hygrometers, buckets, water scoops, syringes, feed, medicines, etc., all need to be adequately prepared, and usually start planning 2 weeks before brooding.
二.How to raise chickens
- Choose a good chick breed
In chicken production, improved breeds are the basis for improving commodity rates, reducing production costs and improving economic benefits. Well-known local breeds with thin skin and thin bones, plump muscles, delicious meat, strong resistance to stress, and small and medium-sized colored feathers should be selected.
Feeding management
1.Chickens have short digestive tracts, strong metabolism, and rapid growth and development. Therefore, they must be fed with nutritious and easily digestible feeds to meet their needs. Specifically, they can be fed with full-price mixed feeds according to the age, breed, type, weight, and use of chickens to meet the needs of chickens. their needs for various nutrients.
Do small and frequent meals to promote the growth and development of chickens. Free-range chickens generally allow the chickens to go out to eat grass, grass seeds, dead leaves, insects and flies, etc. to change the meat quality and reduce feed costs; captive chickens can be fed green fodder, corn, wheat, rice, sorghum, silkworm chrysalis, fish meal, Meat powder, etc.
2.Regularly clean and disinfect the chicken house, keep the chicken house dry and hygienic, prevent feces from contaminating the chicken house, and control the breeding density. Pay attention to observe the flocks, and promptly eliminate sick or low-yielding chickens. The “all-in-all-out” feeding management system is adopted to facilitate disinfection, disease prevention and scientific management.
3.Strict epidemic prevention
According to the actual situation, formulate a strict and scientific immunization plan, mainly to do a good job in the prevention and treatment of chicken Marek’s disease, chicken Newcastle disease, chicken Gambauer disease, fowl cholera and chicken pox, and pay special attention to the prevention and control of coccidiosis, leukocytosis and digestive tract parasitic disease. Check frequently, if it happens, get rid of it in time, pay attention to choose broad-spectrum, high-efficiency, low-toxic anthelmintic drugs. It is also necessary to strengthen the preservation of feed to prevent diseases caused by mildew of feed.
This is the first time I started raising chickens, what else should I pay attention to? Please contact me to exchange breeding skills.
