7 considerations for raising chickens

Blindly introduce species

The price is cheap but the quality of the chicks is ignored or the fashion is simply pursued, regardless of the natural conditions of the region and their own breeding conditions, blindly pursuing new varieties and multiple varieties. Some chickens of different batches are raised together, and some even buy chicks from epidemic areas, which brings difficulties to feeding and management, creating conditions for cross-infection of germs and induction of metabolic diseases.

Refilling is overdue

The feed powder contains more nutrients such as amino acids, multi-dimensional elements and trace elements, but chickens have the habit of eating large-grain feeds. If the feed is too frequent, the chickens will eat a large amount of large-grain feeds, resulting in an imbalance in the intake of nutrients , Affecting the growth and production of chickens.

Change the material suddenly

When the feed needs to be changed due to factors such as the growth stage of the chicken, the market price and other factors, if the feed is changed suddenly without transition, it is easy to cause the chicken's stress response, and some even cause death.

Blind medication

Some chicken farmers and chicken farms use drugs blindly without diagnosis when the chickens are sick. Because the drugs are not correct, they not only delay the disease, but also cause waste and increase the cost of chickens.

Disease, health polyculture

When individual diseased chickens appeared in the flock, only treatment was focused on, and isolation and prevention were ignored, creating conditions for the spread and epidemic of the disease.

Despise disinfection

Individual chicken farms and chicken farmers cannot correctly understand the importance of disinfection. They only seek to reduce feeding costs in a one-sided manner, and ignore disinfection work, leaving hidden dangers to the outbreak of diseases.

Ignore elimination

Overemphasize the survival rate. On the one hand, the weak chickens and disabled chicken houses in the reserve flock must not be eliminated. On the other hand, it neglects to eliminate the old low-yielding hens and does not pay attention to calculating the ratio of input to output, which affects the overall economic benefits.

4 Matters needing attention when raising ducks

1. Feed mix is ​​very important

Pay attention to reasonable feeding. General protein feed accounts for 35%-40%, cereal grains account for 35%-40%, green feed accounts for 20%-30%, coarse feed accounts for 5%, and mineral feeds such as bone meal, shell meal, etc. To meet the nutritional needs of high-yielding ducks.

2. Enhance sexual desire

The stronger the libido of the female duck, the more eggs it lays. Male ducks have a sexual stimulating effect on female ducks and can promote the sexual function of female ducks. A certain percentage of male ducks can be kept in the female duck flock to enhance female ducks' sexual desire. In general, 15% of male ducks are kept in the flock of breeding female ducks, and 2% of male ducks are kept in the flock of female ducks for eating eggs.

3. Ensure light

Turn on the electric light in the evening or before dawn to supplement the light, so that the duck can get sufficient light and promote more eggs.

4. Improve hygiene

Duck sheds and sports grounds should be cleaned every day, litter should be changed frequently, duck feeding tools should be washed frequently, and feed and drinking water should be kept fresh and clean. Disinfect duck houses and utensils regularly to prevent pathogens from invading ducks.
