Chick Mouth Breaker

The so-called beak cutting is to use a beak cutting machine or scissors to cut off the beak end of the chicken, which is commonly known as "broken mouth" by the masses. Timely beak cutting is conducive to strengthening the feeding management of chicks. If the chicken house is poorly ventilated, the light is too strong, the feeding density is too large, and the nutrition of the feed is unbalanced (especially the lack of animal protein feed and minerals), etc., it will cause the chicken flock to peck feathers, peck toes, peck anus and other vices. Once a malice occurs, it is necessary to find out the cause and improve the feeding management. However, the most effective measure to prevent the occurrence of malice is beak cutting, and beak cutting can also prevent chicks from throwing feed and reduce feed waste.

The beak of chickens is generally broken twice, and the first beak is cut off during the brooding period, and the time is arranged at 7~10 days old. The second beak is in the breeding period, the time is between 10~14 weeks old, the purpose is to trim the first beak resection unsuccessful or regrown beak. Large and medium-sized chicken farms mostly use special electric beak breakers for chick beak breaking.

There is a small hole with a diameter of 0.44 cm on the electric beak breaker (such as the 9QZ foot pedal nozzle cutting machine), and the beak excision part is inserted into the hole during beak breaking, and a hot blade (temperature 815 °C) is cut from top to bottom, and after 3 seconds of contact, the excision and hemostasis work is completed. During operation, the head of the chicken is tilted in the direction of the blade, so that the upper beak is more cut than the lower beak, and the excised part is 1/2 of the upper beak from the end of the beak to the nostril, and the lower beak is 1/3 of the beak tip to the nostril, forming a short upper and lower length.

(1) Do not cut off the beak when the flock is stressed, such as the newly vaccinated chickens, etc., and then proceed when it returns to normal. (2) Do not cut off the beak when using sulfonamides, otherwise it is easy to cause bleeding. (3) 24~48 hours before the second beak cutting in the breeding period (10~12 weeks old), 2 grams of vitamin K should be added to each ton of feed to reduce stress. (4) In the operation method, attention should be paid to gently pressing the throat close to the bottom of the beak, so that the chicken shrinks the tongue, and do not cut off the tip of the tongue. (5) The short upper and lower length of the chicken beak after the beak is broken to prevent the upper and lower beaks from being broken at the same time. (6) After the beak is broken, sufficient cool drinking water should be supplied to strengthen feeding management.
