What should be noted for successful broiler farming?
In broiler farming, it takes only a few tens of days to be slaughtered, so no mistakes are allowed throughout the entire breeding process. Even a single mistake in breeding management can have an impact on the final production performance, such as an increase in feed to meat ratio, failure to meet weight standards, an increase in mortality rate, inability to control the disease, and even forced early slaughter, ultimately leading to breeding failure and directly affecting economic benefits. What should be paid attention to for successful breeding?
1. Preparation before hatching
15 days before hatching, thoroughly remove the feces in the chicken coop, clean the roof, floor, walls, and dead corners inside the coop; Clean and disinfect the chicken coop, carry out periodic work, and prepare for the next batch of chicks.
2. Select high-quality chicken seedlings
High quality broiler chickens have fast growth and development, good navel healing and abdominal absorption function, strong immunity, and high survival rate. When breeding, we must breed high-quality chicken seedlings of the same variety, age, and source in the same batch for easy management, disinfection, and epidemic prevention.
3. Scientific feeding technology
The cost of broiler farming mainly consists of feed, epidemic prevention fees, labor, and energy. The cost of feed accounts for about 70% of the cost of raising chickens. Therefore, reducing feed waste is an important measure to lower production costs and improve chicken farming efficiency. The feeding should be timed, quantified, with less frequent addition, and the amount of feeding should not exceed 1/3 of the depth of the material trough to prevent waste.
Proper storage of feed: Feed should be placed in a well ventilated, dry, and dark place to prevent oxidation, mold, deterioration, and theft by mice and birds. Chickens aged 7-10 days should have their beaks cut off to reduce the waste of feed being thrown out of the trough.
4. Chicken coop management techniques
Ventilation and air exchange: High concentrations of harmful gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and dust can cause anemia, weakened physical fitness, decreased production performance and disease resistance in chickens, and can easily induce respiratory diseases and ascites. Good ventilation is necessary throughout the entire feeding cycle of broiler chickens, especially in the later stages of feeding where ventilation is particularly important.
Temperature: Because the thermal regulation system of chicks has not fully developed, some heating systems need to be provided to heat the chicks.
Humidity: Maintain relatively high humidity for the first 1-2 weeks, and maintain relatively low humidity from 3 weeks of age until slaughter.
5. Preventive measures for chicken diseases
When a chicken flock develops a disease at any age, appropriate treatment measures should be taken based on the severity of the disease. According to the situation of the chicken coop and the date of receiving the chicks, it is necessary to arrange the preparation work for washing, cleaning, disinfecting, and emptying the coop reasonably. It is best not to bring chickens for disinfection or drink water for disinfection for 3 days before, during, and after immunization.
6. Control the weight of broiler chickens
The core of feeding from the growth period to the slaughter period is to produce the maximum amount of chicken meat that meets product requirements with reasonable feed consumption. The most prominent issue in management during this period is to appropriately control weight gain and reduce the mortality of chickens caused by excessive growth in the later stages.
