Raising chickens is a complex job, and there are several aspects that need to be paid attention to:
1.Chicken seedling selection: High-quality chicken seedlings are the key to success in raising chickens. Chickens that are healthy, vigorous, fast-growing, and disease-resistant should be selected. When purchasing, be sure to go to a farm with a formal business license to avoid buying low-cost and low-quality chicks.
2.Breeding site: An open, well-ventilated, dry and well-drained place should be selected as a breeding farm. Avoid dampness and stagnant water to avoid triggering chicken diseases.
3.Temperature control: Temperature has a great impact on the growth and development of chickens and the rate of egg production. To ensure that the temperature of the chicken house is moderate, it is generally 21-26 degrees Celsius. Temperatures that are too high or too low can have a bad effect on the growth of chickens.
4.Drinking water and feed: provide clean drinking water, and add an appropriate amount of potassium permanganate to the water to play a role in anti-inflammatory and sterilization. Choose products with reliable quality, comprehensive nutrition, and easy to digest for feed. Feed regularly and quantitatively to avoid overeating or starvation.
5.Breeding density: reasonably control the breeding density, provide enough space for chickens to move, so as to promote their growth and development, and avoid the occurrence of diseases.
6.Cleanliness and hygiene: Clean the house every day, remove manure and residual feed, and disinfect the house regularly to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, and prevent the growth of bacteria and the spread of diseases.
7.Epidemic prevention work: Chicken farms should carry out epidemic prevention work regularly, such as vaccination, deworming, etc., to prevent the spread of epidemics.
8.Emergency treatment: When chickens are found to be sick or abnormal, they should be isolated in time** and preventive measures should be taken against other healthy chickens.
9.Breeder management: Breeders should be fixed and try to wear uniforms of the same color, so as to avoid stress reactions caused by chickens adapting to new colors.
10.Seasonal management: Raising chickens in different seasons should pay attention to different matters, such as temperature changes in spring, heatstroke prevention and cooling in summer, feed supply in autumn, and warmth in winter.
To sum up, the matters that need to be paid attention to when raising chickens include chicken seedling selection, breeding site, temperature control, drinking water and feed, breeding density, cleaning and hygiene, epidemic prevention work, emergency treatment, breeder management and seasonal management. Only by doing a good job in these management can we ensure the growth and development of chickens and the efficiency of breeding.
