Introduction: Whether it is a first-time chicken farmer or a farmer with many years of breeding experience, it can be said that every time the chicken feeding is a test. Because the final harvest of this group of chicks depends on how the chicks were initially fed. If the chicks are taken care of without disease or disaster, then there will be good benefits. If there is any improper management, the weak chickens are very prone to diseases, and once the chickens get sick at this stage, they will not be one or two, or the whole group will get sick together. In this case, the losses to farmers are very large.
Therefore, in order for the chicken farm to have good benefits, it is necessary to be scientific and meticulous in the feeding and management of chickens, and any minor problems should be dealt with in time. The following editor will briefly introduce some feeding methods for chickens. I hope that after learning this knowledge, you can avoid the chickens from getting sick as much as possible.
Generally, the first feeding of chicks after hatching should not be too early, and it is best to choose 24 to 30 hours after hatching. The feed selected for this feeding must be fresh enough, and the pellets of the feed must not be too large to ensure that the chickens can easily eat them.
At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that these feeds are rich in nutrients. Most chicken farms will use some crushed rice or millet. If you want to use the purchased concentrate completely, you must choose the type that is specially used for chicken starters.
When feeding the chickens for the first time, try to pay attention not to feed too much at one time, because at this time the chickens do not have much concept of the amount of food they eat. In this way, it is easy to cause the chick to be damaged or even to die. Therefore, you must pay attention to small meals and frequent meals when feeding. You can feed 6 times a day, and the time for each feeding can be controlled within 15 minutes.
In addition to the first feeding, it is also very important for the chick to drink water for the first time. The time chosen can be controlled before feeding, that is, between 12 hours and 24 hours after breaking the shell. When feeding water, we must ensure that the water quality is clean enough. At the same time, we can also add some potassium permanganate or sugars to the water, but we should pay attention not to add too much, which can be controlled at zero percent. Around two o’clock.
The chick’s ability to adjust to the environment after just breaking the shell is not perfect, especially the temperature environment. Therefore, the chicks must be fed in a constant temperature room within a week after the shell is broken, and the temperature of the constant temperature room can be controlled at about 33 degrees. Then reduce the temperature by 2-3 degrees every week, wait until the temperature is balanced with the outdoor temperature, and then put them into the ordinary chicken house for feeding.
When placing the chicken coop, it must be noted that the breeding density should not be too large. Generally, a 100-square-meter chicken coop can accommodate about 1,200 chicks. Also pay attention to ventilation and lighting in the machine room. Generally, it is necessary to ensure that the chicks can receive 8 to 9 hours of light a day. Under the condition that the temperature is sufficient, ventilation can be carried out for a long time.
Summary: When breeding chickens, in addition to controlling the feed and breeding density, the environmental sanitation of the chicken house is also very important. It is necessary to ensure that the chicken house has a good sanitary environment for a long time, so as to avoid the chickens from getting sick as much as possible. Condition.
