It is summer, the temperature is high, and all kinds of disease bacteria are easy to breed, and the disease is harmful in chicken breeding. So how to manage the high temperature in summer to ensure the survival rate of broilers? These 10 precautions need to be understood by chicken farmers.
1.Reduce density
If the breeding density is high under high temperature conditions, it is easy to cause heat stress, so it is necessary to appropriately reduce the density of chickens, and chicken farmers can eliminate those sick chickens, residual chickens and weak chickens in time, on the one hand, the density is reduced, and their casualties are also avoided from affecting the healthy chickens.
2.Drink plenty of fluids
In summer, when the temperature is high, the flock needs more water, and the water needs to be clean, and unclean water can easily cause diseases. Therefore, chicken farmers should adjust the water line in time in the summer to provide sufficient clean drinking water.
3.Electricity matters
In summer, the chicken coop fan can not be stopped, the water curtain can not be broken, if the power outage may lead to the death of many chickens, so we must ensure that the circuit is okay, in addition to high temperature and high load, electricity is prone to problems, such as fire, etc., so pay attention to protection.
4.Weather changes
In summer, there is not only high temperature, but also windy and rainy weather, chicken farmers should pay attention not only to temperature, but also humidity, as well as the fright, rain leakage, water accumulation and so on that may be caused by windy and rainy weather.
5.Feeding period
Chickens need to emit a lot of heat in the feed, and chicken farmers should avoid that the time when the chickens emit a lot of heat happens to be the high temperature time of the day, such as noon. Therefore, summer feeding, generally in the morning and evening.
6.Feed mildew
In summer, there is high temperature and humidity, and there is a lot of rain, and the feed is prone to mildew. In addition, in order to ensure that the feed will not become mildew after entering the trough due to not being eaten for a long time, chicken farmers should ensure that the trough is cleaned once a day.
7.Feed to prevent heatstroke and cool down
Pay attention to adding heatstroke prevention and cooling products to the feed, and generally summer chicken farmers need to supplement multi-dimensional to improve the ability of chickens to resist heat stress.
8.Temperature and humidity management
If the temperature is too high, ventilation should be strengthened, and if it cannot be lowered, the water curtain needs to play a cooling role. In the process of raising chickens, pay attention to the balance of humidity and temperature, when the humidity is too large, turn off the water curtain in time and increase the role of the fan.
9.Excessive temperature treatment
If the chickens still feel very hot if the enhanced ventilation and water curtain are used, the chicken farmer can use spray to cool the chicken house. In this way, it is necessary to pay attention to smooth ventilation and ensure that the humidity does not exceed the standard.
10.Day and night management
Attention needs to be paid to the cooling during the day, and the ventilation and cooling at night cannot be ignored.
The above is the precautions for summer broiler breeding, the climate change in summer varies greatly, so in order to improve the survival rate of broilers and reduce the loss of chicken farmers, these management matters are expected to be remembered.
