How to prepare brooding house equipment

Before the chicks are bred or purchased, they need to prepare some equipment. Here are a few key points that are easily overlooked.

1. The brooding house should have sufficient heating equipment and good insulation conditions

The temperature of 1-day-old chicks should reach 32°C and be controlled at 31-33°C (depending on air temperature and ventilation).

If the temperature of the chicks fails to meet this requirement, the death rate will be significantly increased, and the future development and health of the flock will be affected. Therefore, brooding fences and insulation umbrellas should be prepared, or partial brooding should be adopted, and the method of gradually expanding the fence as the age increases to ensure that the chicks grow and develop rapidly under suitable temperature conditions. Ensure that the weight of the 1-week-old chicks exceeds the standard body weight by 10 grams, and the body weight within 1 week determines the level of egg production performance in the future.

2.The brooding house needs certain ventilation conditions

The function of this ventilation is only to provide fresh air for the chicks, which is of great significance to the health of the chicks.

Under the premise of ensuring that the temperature meets the requirements, ventilation should be done regularly as much as possible. The way of ventilation can be mechanical ventilation or natural ventilation. Use fans or wet curtains to achieve ventilation. It should be noted that the wind speed should not be too high, but the number of ventilation and oxygen supply should be increased, which is of great significance to the health of the flock.

Before the chicks arrive in the chicken house, the temperature in the house should be raised to the required temperature. In cold regions or seasons, start the house warming a day earlier. This is done to allow the walls to reach the desired temperature, not just the air temperature in the house, so that the temperature in the house is already reached by the time the chicks arrive. ideal temperature. At the same time, sprinkle water on the walls of the house to ensure the humidity of the walls in the house. This is a good way to increase the humidity.

3.Drinking fountains and feeding trays for chicken houses

3 to 4 hours before the chicks arrive, the drinking fountain should be filled with water and placed in the house to preheat. It is recommended that 5% to 10% glucose should be added to the drinking water for the first time, and a certain A certain amount of vitamins and minerals to ensure the healthy growth of chicks after long-distance transportation to the chicken farm. Be sure to add medicine when adding water for the first time to prevent the occurrence of omphalitis and colibacillosis.

The drinking fountains and feeding trays in the chicken house should be evenly distributed, and the chicks can easily find water and feed near them, and it can be carried out according to the method of high-density brooding. Retech farming's brooding equipment is very popular among farmers, and it realizes automatic feeding and drinking.

Be careful not to place the drinker too low causing excess litter to be carried into the water pan and wet the litter. At the same time, it should be noted that when the high-density chicks start eating, the distance between the drinking fountains should not exceed 1 meter, so as to ensure that the chicks can eat with their heads down and drink with their heads up when they enter the house.

4.Disinfection and maintenance of equipment

The cleaned and disinfected drinking fountains, feeding trays and all utensils should be fully prepared in advance, and the maintenance and inspection of the chicken house and equipment should be done in advance. After the chicks enter, the frequent noise and the frequent entry and exit of objects and personnel are likely to pose a threat to the health of the flock.

Brooding cages, thermometers, hygrometers, spare lighting bulbs, cleaning tools, etc. are prepared and disinfected.
