Under the guidance of the government's preferential policies, many rural families set up their own poultry farms (such as chicken farms) and live a prosperous life. However, behind the brilliance and beauty, they have paid a lot of heartache and sweat. The work in the breeding factory is dirty and tiring, and such investment risks are also very high. , Let's talk about the matters needing attention in poultry farming.
1. Ensure adequate water sources:
Poultry farming requires a lot of water. Drilling and pumping water, and then building a large livestock pond, must also install a water supply device, use a tower-less water supply device, and use air pressure to send water to any corner of the chicken factory. Building a livestock pond is to avoid the lack of water in the chicken factory. , to temporarily replenish water shortages.
2. Install power generation equipment:
Although it is a small-scale farming, a lot of machinery and equipment are still indispensable. How much work can be done only by labor? If these devices cannot operate without electricity, the chicken factory will be paralyzed. When the chicken factory is powered off, the generator can be used to temporarily generate electricity, so that the various equipment of the chicken factory can operate normally.
3. Install monitoring device:
Cameras are installed in some corners of the chicken factory to observe the situation in the chicken factory at any time. Raise a small number of dogs and geese. Dogs can be used to guard the home for the owner, especially at night. Raising geese can drive away incoming enemies, such as weasels, so as to avoid unnecessary losses.
4. Ensure good ventilation:
Even in small-scale farming, the number of chickens can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and the heat and carbon dioxide generated by respiration will also be a lot. In addition to the high temperature weather, the chicken factory must be located in a well-ventilated place, and the walls are surrounded by walls. It is necessary to leave holes for ventilation to ensure that the air inside the chicken factory is fresh and the temperature is suitable.
5. Install cooling equipment:
The chicken factory is ventilated and ventilated, which is not enough. Due to the large number of chickens, if it is in high temperature weather, the chickens will die of heat. Install cooling equipment such as water curtains (or fans), and the water flowing through the water curtains will take away a lot of heat, thereby reducing the indoor temperature a lot.
6. Install lighting equipment:
Scientific research has found that the egg production of chickens decreases significantly under dim light conditions. In order to increase egg production, more lighting equipment must be installed in the chicken factory to ensure that the light in the chicken factory is bright and create a good living environment for poultry.
7. Regularly clean up garbage:
The number of chickens is large, and there is naturally a lot of waste discharged. Long-term accumulation can breed a large number of bacteria, and these bacteria will become the source of disease. Timely removal of garbage can ensure the air quality in the chicken factory, and can also prevent chickens from contracting plague, resulting in irreparable losses.
8. Scientific breeding and vaccination:
Scientific breeding requires regular sampling to check the health status of poultry, and vaccination of poultry to prevent the spread of cholera and other diseases. In the hot weather of Xiaxiu, heatstroke prevention drugs must be mixed into the feed to prevent chickens from getting sick or heatstroke and reduce death. rate, thereby reducing losses.
