Control of chicken temperature in laying hens

Suitable temperature for chickens in poultry farm cage: brooding temperature of eggs for chicks: 35-33 ° C for 1-2 days, 33-32 ° C for 3-7 days, and about 2 to 3 ° C for 5-6 weeks thereafter. The age is about 21-18 °C. Whether the temperature of the supply is appropriate, in addition to observing the thermometer, should also observe the behavior of the chick. For example, when the temperature is normal, the chicks are lively, have good appetite, moderate drinking
water, sleep quietly, sleep comfortably stretched, and are mostly lying horizontally. The chicks in the entire brooding house are evenly distributed; when the temperature is high, the chicks are far away from the heat source and the two wings are unfolded. Stretching neck and gasping, drinking frequently, poor appetite; when the temperature is low, the chicks are dense and close to the heat source, crowded, trembling, loss of appetite. Chicks are more sensitive to cold
and warm, so pay special attention to prevent the temperature from rising and falling, and try to maintain temperature balance. When the temperature is mastered, the temperature is higher at night or in the rainy and snowy days; during the day, the chicks are active, the weather is warm, and the temperature should be lower; the temperature of the weak chicks should be higher, and the temperature of the chicks can be lower.

The proper humidity of the chicken breeding equipment: the humidity is closely related to the evaporation of water in the chicken body, the emission of body heat and the cleanliness of the house.

 

 

When the temperature is high and low humidity, the water in the chicken rest is too much, which may cause the chicken to dehydrate. In addition, due to drying, the dust inside the house is flying, and it is easy to induce respiratory diseases.

When the temperature is low and the humidity is high, the house is cold and humid, and the chick is susceptible to cold, causing the litter to be wet and causing gastrointestinal diseases and coccidiosis.

When the temperature is high and the humidity is high, the heat in the chicks is not easy to be emitted normally, suffocating, appetite is falling, growth is slow, and resistance is weakened. In general.

Egg culture equipment Chicken houses and battery cage for layers should be kept dry to prevent bacterial growth and infection, but the relative humidity should not be lower than 40%. Suitable relative humidity: 60% -65% before 10 days old and 50%-60% after 10 days old. When the humidity is insufficient, water can be sprayed on the inner corridor, the ground, the surrounding walls or the flue. The water can be evaporated on the heat source to increase the humidity inside the house. When the humidity is too high, the moisture barrier can be laid on the ground of the chicken house. Appropriately raise the temperature inside the chicken house, strengthen the ventilation and ventilation, and raise the litter in the flat chicken house, and timely remove the damp feces and litter in the house to prevent the drinker from leaking.
