How to prevent the death of chickens purchased back from chicken farms? The chicken master will give you detailed guidance
First of all, the repatriated chickens should be kept in a clean and tidy house to avoid contact with other birds. The hygienic conditions of the chicken coop must be kept well, because the living environment of the caged chickens is relatively clean, and the digestive ability of the chickens is weak.
On this basis, we can further extend the problem of chicken house design. The coop must be equipped with the necessary ventilation equipment to ensure air circulation. At the same time, the chicken coop must be reasonably isolated from the outside environment to prevent the chickens in the chicken coop from being infected by external pathogens. In addition, we can also make auxiliary brooders and water replenishment facilities in the chicken house to provide a better breeding environment.
Secondly, on the day the purchased chicken arrives, do not feed it immediately, you can provide enough water for the chicken to drink, it is best to add a small amount of aged vinegar to the water. Aged vinegar can boost the digestion of chickens and reduce their stress response. In addition, chickens may become dehydrated during transportation, and drinking water in a timely manner can help restore their physiological levels.
In addition, we can also provide some drinking water for chickens that can adapt to low temperatures. In winter, if the water source is too cold, the chicken will feel cold when drinking, which will affect the normal water intake of the chicken. Therefore, we can use insulation equipment to control the temperature of the drinker within the appropriate range to ensure that the chickens can drink enough water.
Thirdly, the temperature in the house must be above 25 degrees, regardless of the age of the chickens. Because the chickens in the chicken farm are grown up under constant temperature conditions, especially at night or when the temperature is low, the temperature difference is too large, which is easy to cause chickens to catch a cold, and it will also lead to the occurrence of other diseases. Therefore, it is very important to control the temperature inside the chicken house.
In this regard, there are a few things we can do to keep the temperature of the coop stable. First of all, you can install heating equipment such as electric blankets and electric lights to provide a suitable warm environment. Secondly, smaller chicken farms can adopt the construction structure of a miniature greenhouse to keep the temperature of the chicken house stable.
Fourth, within a week of the chickens acclimatizing to the environment, it is best to feed the chickens chicken feed and gradually add ingredients such as rice to improve the chicken's intestinal digestion. However, it is necessary to avoid feeding chickens directly with food such as food waste, wet food or vegetable leaves, as these foods are not suitable for the chicken's digestive system and can easily cause intestinal diseases. In addition, drugs such as oxytetracycline, which are common in rural areas, are also not recommended for immediate use, and intestinal diseases should be prevented through a reasonable diet.
In terms of feed, there are some innovations that we can make. For example, some scientifically formulated feed can be added, which is rich in nutrients and can improve the immunity and disease resistance of chickens. In addition, the addition of functional additives such as probiotics and enzymes also helps to improve the digestion and absorption capacity of chickens and improve feed utilization.
Fifth, it is necessary to check the mental state and fecal changes of the chicken frequently, and once the abnormality is found, it should be timely**. Because gut health has an important impact on the growth and development and immunity of chickens. In the case of manure, we can tell if a chicken has digestive problems by looking at the color, texture, and other indicators of the manure. At the same time, regular cleaning and disinfection are also basic measures to maintain the environmental hygiene of the house.
vi.Newcastle disease (avian plague) vaccine for chickens. It is a low-cost, high-return preventive measure that can strengthen the chicken's resistance and reduce the occurrence of disease. When vaccination, professionals can be asked to intervene to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the vaccine. Focusing on vaccinations and preventive measures can improve the survival rate of chickens and reduce economic losses.
In today's chicken farming process, imparting knowledge is crucial. Enthusiastic people who work on chicken farms often provide guidance rather than just selling medicine. These people have experience in raising chickens and can teach us some tips and precautions for raising chickens. During the exchange, we can ask them to teach us some things that we disagree with the veterinarian, so as to improve our chicken raising skills. Through continuous accumulation and practice, we can better master the skills of raising chickens and improve the efficiency of raising chickens.
Summary: Raising chickens is not only about providing food and the environment, but also about taking care of them and paying attention to their health. After buying back the cage chickens, it is necessary to pay attention to the hygiene, feed and temperature control of the chicken house. At the same time, reasonable feed formulation and vaccination are also important factors to improve the success rate of raising chickens. Through continuous observation and management, timely treatment of abnormal conditions of chickens can reduce the mortality rate of chickens and ensure the economic benefits of raising chickens.
