Common alternative chicken breeding methods

1. The chicken breeding method in plastic greenhouse

The plastic greenhouse chicken breeding method is one of the methods with less investment and quicker results, which can obtain greater benefits. For the majority of farmers who initially raise chickens and farmers with weak economic strength, plastic greenhouse chicken breeding technology Should be preferred. The advantage is that the selected materials are more convenient. You can choose the plastic film used by ordinary farmers as the main material of the greenhouse, and then choose bamboo, tree poles, and straw curtains as support frames. These materials come from a wide range of sources and are very rich. It is relatively simple to set up, combining the science of agriculture and animal husbandry, and chicken farming can be used to fertilize the field, reduce environmental pollution, and the plastic greenhouse has a strong light transmission, which can greatly improve the survival rate of chickens and promote rapid growth.

2. Use natural areas such as mountains to raise chickens

There are many woodlands, grassland, mountain and wasteland in our county, which is very suitable for chicken breeding in natural areas. It provides a good ideal place for scientific chicken breeding. These areas often have a lot of animal feed such as insects, which is very beneficial to the breeding of domestic chickens. The advantages of breeding are that it has the advantages of better isolation conditions, reduces the incidence of chickens, ensures its survival rate, and reduces capital investment, which can greatly reduce the cost of breeding. The chickens raised in this environment have unique flavors and delicious taste. It is favored by consumers and has a good market prospect.

3. cage chicken

In addition to the above two methods suitable for large-scale chicken breeding, there is also a caged chicken breeding method, which is a commonly selected chicken breeding method. Its cages are divided into brooding, rearing, broiler and laying hens. Four. Its breeding characteristics are high-density centralized breeding. This breeding condition is convenient for manual management and control, which effectively guarantees the egg production rate and chicken growth rate. In contrast, this chicken breeding method can save a lot of feed and save Space, litter, etc. are welcomed and chosen by the majority of rural farmers.

Preparatory work for scientific chicken raising

1. Make a production plan for the farm

Before raising chickens, a detailed production plan should be formulated according to the breeding site and local environmental characteristics, and the production scale should be determined. A scientific and reasonable production plan is conducive to the orderly development of chicken management. Its main contents include the flock turnover plan and egg production plan. , Feed procurement, production and distribution plans. Especially when formulating a feed plan, the amount of feed that can be produced and purchased needs to be recorded one by one, and the plan should be formulated according to the change of the season. Not only that, the sales plan for the product is also the top priority. It mainly includes breeding eggs, hatchlings, edible eggs, manure, etc., and the formulation of health and epidemic prevention plans, employment plans, and daily consumption plans must be considered.

2. Selection of chicken breeds

As far as the current national chicken breeds are concerned, the degree of good breeding has been relatively high. When selecting breeds, comprehensive consideration must be given to market demand, local climate, and breeding conditions. The procurement of chicks should be selected at a regular, high-level management, and advanced breeding technology chicken farm. This professional chicken farm has relatively good epidemic prevention work, high breeding technology, good quality of chicken stock, and The chicks have strong disease resistance, which saves raw materials to a certain extent. And good chicken farm after-sales service is in place, eliminating the worries of buyers.

3. Chicken feed selection and feeding management

Chicken feed is an important factor to ensure high income for chicken breeding, and it is also the basis of the chicken breeding industry. Feed accounts for more than half of the cost of breeding, and high-quality and affordable feed must be selected. In the selection of feed, the characteristics and rules of different growth stages of the chicken must be fully considered, so as to configure a suitable feed. The full-price pellet feed can be selected at the chick stage. Choosing fat chicken feed after the chickens are released for ten days can improve the meat quality of chickens has increased their weight and promoted the benefits. When preparing the feed, pay attention to observe its color, odor and other conditions. Once it is found that there are moisture, clumps, and mildew, it must be stopped immediately to prevent economic losses. Chicken breeding is a key part of chicken breeding. At this stage, the disinfection of the brooding facilities and the site must be strengthened. The indoor temperature must be strictly controlled and adjusted according to changes in climatic conditions. Chickens can add a small amount of glucose when they drink water for the first time. At the same time, pay attention to the sanitation and disinfection of the environment around the chickens, and ventilate regularly.

Methods and measures to improve scientific chicken raising technology

1. Raise awareness of scientific chicken breeding and learn scientific chicken breeding techniques

Farmers must increase their awareness of scientific breeding and recognize the importance of health and epidemic prevention work for breeding. For the majority of new breeders, they must master the basic knowledge of scientific management and epidemic prevention, including sanitation and disinfection, breeding density, and ventilation. , Light time, feed preparation, immunization and many other aspects, so as to improve their breeding quality and skills. In addition, farmers should usually strengthen their learning, read books and magazines about farming and farming information in a timely manner, apply theoretical knowledge to specific practical operations, constantly explore farming techniques, and regularly summarize farming experiences. In order to promote the healthy and rapid development of the breeding industry.

2. Do a good job of raising environmental hygiene and improve the quality of adult chickens

It is necessary to strengthen the disinfection of the chicken environment and the chicken house, regularly clean up the debris, and regularly disinfect the chicken according to the growth status of the chickens. Try to reduce the proportion of ammonia, carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the chicken house. And the surrounding environment should be sprayed and disinfected with drugs to ensure that the interior of the chicken house is sterile and reduce the incidence of epidemic diseases. Attention should also be paid to ventilation and air temperature control of the chicken house to keep the temperature within an appropriate range. If the temperature is too high, the relative humidity in the brooding room will be reduced, which will increase the probability of chickens suffering from respiratory diseases.

3. Prevent chicken disease and do daily health care

Epidemic prevention and control is one of the key tasks of chicken farms. Many chickens are susceptible to various diseases and cause economic losses. Therefore, epidemic prevention work on farms must be done well. The causes of chicken disease may be unscientific feed preparation or deterioration, the indoor temperature is too high, external injuries, excessive anti-epidemic drugs, the excessive proportion of toxic gases and so on. Do the daily epidemic prevention and management work as much as possible, observe the production status of the flocks, and record the various physiological states of the chickens in time. Also, record the feeding and drinking conditions of the feeds in detail, and conduct periodic summary analysis to find out in time. Potential problems, take corresponding measures. In years when the disease is more harmful, targeted vaccination should be given to chickens according to the local epidemic situation.

Therefore, in summary, chickens can only be raised well with scientific and professional breeding.
