According to the most common types of chicken cages, make a simple specification introduction:
1. Brooding cage: the total height of the cage is about 1.7 meters, the height of the cage frame is 10-15 cm, the length of each single cage is 70-100 cm, the height of the cage is 30-40 cm, and the depth of the cage is 40-50 cm. Use 3 to 4 layers of overlapping cages. The mesh is generally rectangular or square, the bottom mesh is 1.25 cm 1.25 cm, and the side mesh and top mesh are 2.5 X 2.5 cm. The cage door is set in the front, and the gap of the cage door is adjustable from 2 to 3 cm. Each cage can accommodate about 30 chicks.
2. Growing chicken cage: The overall width is 1.6-1.7 meters, and the height is 1.7-1.8 meters. The single cage is 80 cm long, 40 cm high, and 42 cm deep. The bottom mesh of the cage is 4 cm 2 cm, and the remaining meshes are 2.5 cm 2.5 cm. The size of the cage door is 14 cm 15 cm, each single cage can accommodate 7 to 15 chickens, and the combination form usually adopts a three-layer overlapping type.
3. Layer cage: each single cage is 40 cm long, 45 cm deep, 45 cm high in the front, 38 cm in the back, and the bottom slope of the cage is 6°-8°. The egg collection trough extending out of the cage is 12-16 cm. The front door of the cage is 21-24 cm wide and 40 cm high, leaving a gap of 4.5 cm between the bottom edge and the bottom net. The hole spacing of the bottom net of the cage is 2.2 cm, and the weft spacing is 6 cm. The aperture range of the top, side, and back nets varies greatly. Generally, the mesh has a warp spacing of 10-20 cm and a weft spacing of 2.5-3 cm. Each single cage can raise 3 to 4 chickens. The common combination forms include stepped, Half-step and overlapping
advantage
The advantages of rack chicken coop:
1. The mesh is smooth to prevent foot injury and infection of chickens. The separation and bottom nets are encrypted, which can effectively prevent laying hens fatigue syndrome. The mesh is galvanized to increase the service life by 6-7 times.
2. High-density breeding saves land, about 50% less land than free-range breeding.
3. Centralized management saves energy and resources, reduces the incidence of poultry diseases, and the unique cage door design effectively prevents chickens from shaking their heads and wasting feed when they eat.
4. It can be adjusted appropriately according to the size of the venue, and an automatic drinking water system can be installed.
Chicken cage chicken method
Motong chicken cages raise chickens in cages that are welded with wire. Different types of chicken cages are designed according to the breed, gender and age of the chicken. There are chicken cages, brood cages, layer cages, breeder cages and rooster cages, etc., which are currently the most important methods of raising chickens in my country. Their advantages: 1. Improve The stocking density, the three-dimensional chicken cage stocking density is more than 3 times higher than the horizontal stocking density, and the laying hens can raise more than 17 per square meter. 2. Save feed. The chickens are kept in cages, so the amount of exercise is reduced, the energy consumption is less, and the waste of materials is reduced. 3. The chicken does not touch the feces, which is conducive to the epidemic prevention of the chickens. 4. The eggs are relatively clean, which can eliminate the eggs outside the nest. 5. There is no litter problem.
Daily work items
1. Feeding and management of chickens
A well-managed chicken house can save feed, avoid feed waste, and maximize the conversion of the input feed into chicken growth. A well-managed chicken house will reduce the incidence of chicken diseases, which can save vaccine purchase costs and can Save the cost of conventional preventive medication and therapeutic medication. Strengthen ventilation every day, pay attention to maintaining the humidity of the chicken house, and maintain appropriate humidity measures. Generally speaking, the limit of high humidity is higher than 75%, and the limit of low humidity is lower than 40%. When the humidity is too high, ventilation should be strengthened to remove moisture; the drinking fountain should be firmly placed to prevent the bedding from being crooked and wet. The main methods: use ground spraying, aerial spraying, and adding water basins on the stove to increase humidity.
2. Feed
Feed is the basis of chicken raising and a key factor in the success or failure of chicken raising. Under normal circumstances, feed costs account for 70% to 80% of the cost of raising chickens, so how to select, use, and develop feeds reasonably, increase feed rate of return, and reduce feed consumption rate, plays a decisive role in improving the economic benefits of chicken raising. Common feeds for chicken cages can be roughly divided into energy feeds, protein feeds, mineral feeds, vitamin feeds and feed additives.
