Many people who want to run a chicken farm want to know what equipment is needed for a new chicken farm. How to build a chicken house reasonably?
Cage
(1) Assembly of chicken cages: Individual chicken battery cages are assembled into a cage group.
Full-step chicken cage: The upper and lower cages are completely staggered, usually 2-3 layers. The utility model has the advantages that the bottom of the cage does not need to have a dung board, and if it is a pit, there is no clearing system; the structure is simple; the ventilation and the surface of each layer are large. The disadvantages are: large floor space, low stocking density, and more equipment investment.
Half-step cage: The upper and lower cages overlap 1/4-1/2, and a certain angle of the snorkel is installed above the lower overlap. The ventilation effect is worse than the full step, but the breeding density is higher.
Battery chicken cages: The upper and lower cages are completely overlapped, with 3-4 layers being common and 8 layers being high, and the stocking density is greatly improved. The advantages are: high utilization rate of the chicken house and excellent production efficiency. The disadvantage is that the construction, ventilation equipment and dehumidification equipment of the chicken house are relatively high, which is not convenient for observing the flock and difficult to manage.
Single-layer platoon: The top net of the cage is at the same level. Although the breeding density is high and the utilization rate of the house is high, there is no obvious cage group and lane, and management and feeding are difficult.
(2) Breeding chicken cages: 2-3 layers of overlapping or semi-stepped cages are generally used.
(3) Breeder cages: The chicken cage has a single layer cage and two layers of artificial insemination chicken cages. The former is a mating male and female cage. The latter is often used in artificially inseminated chicken farms, and the original breeder farms can also be used for pure individual egg production records.
Feeding equipment:
It includes four parts: the storage tower, the feeder, the feeder and the feeding trough. The storage tower is usually located at one end or side of the house, and the feed is sent to the feeding trough by the conveyor.
(1) Chain plate feeding machine: It is widely used in flat raising and various cages to form chicken houses.
(2) Coil spring type feeder: widely used in flat farming chicken houses.
(3) Plug-type feeder: One feeding machine can feed 2-3 houses at the same time. However, when the plug or the cable is broken, the repair is troublesome and the installation technical level is high.
(4) Feeding trough: more chickens are used in flat cultivation. Can be made into large, medium and small size long troughs.
(5) Feeding bucket: It is a common feeding equipment for modern chicken industry.
(6) Bucket-type feeding vehicles and driving type feeding vehicles: mostly used in multi-layer chicken cages and overlapping cage chicken houses.
