Chickens are well raised, and poultry equipments should be well selected. So what equipment does a large-scale modern farming farm need to be equipped with?
Brooding poultry equipment
The brooding stage is the most critical period in a chicken’s life. At this stage, the chicks have higher requirements on the environment, especially the temperature requirements are very strict, otherwise it is easy to cause a higher mortality rate. At present, the four-layer cage brooding process is widely used at home and abroad, and it is equipped with a heater, which can improve the physique and survival rate of the chicks.
Chicken Cage
Cage is the main poultry equipment for modern chicken raising, and different cage equipment is suitable for different flocks.
Chicken cage equipment can be divided into full ladder type, half ladder type, stacked type, compound type and horizontal type according to the combination form;
According to the geometric size, it can be divided into deep cage and shallow cage;
According to the type of chicken, it is divided into layer cage, broiler cage and breeder cage;
Drinking water equipment
Drinking water poultry equipment is divided into the following five types: nipple type, pendant type, vacuum type, cup type and sink type.
Chick start-up and free-range chickens are mostly vacuum, pendant and tank types, and free-range chickens now tend to use nipple drinkers.
Feeding equipment
In the feeding and management of chickens, the amount of labor consumed by feeding is relatively large, so large-scale mechanized chicken farms use mechanical feeding systems to improve labor efficiency.
The feeding system includes four parts: the storage tower, the feeder, the feeder and the feeding trough.
Manure cleaning equipment
There are two methods of cleaning manure in the chicken house: manual manure removal and mechanical manure removal.
Common poultry equipment for mechanical manure cleaning are: scraper type manure cleaner, conveyor belt type manure cleaner and drawer type manure cleaner.
The manure scraper type manure cleaner is mostly used for stepped cage and online flat raising;
Conveyor belt manure cleaners are mostly used for stacked cages;
Drawer-type manure removal boards are mostly used in small stacked chicken cages.
Environmental control equipment
Lighting equipment Lighting equipment is mainly chicken house lighting fixtures and lighting automatic controllers. Lighting lamps mainly include incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, ultraviolet lamps, energy-saving lamps and portable spotlights, etc., which can be selected according to needs.
