How to prevent heatstroke and cool down when raising chickens in summer

Enhanced ventilation
Maintaining good ventilation in the house can take away the heat in the house in time, reduce the content of harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, and make the air in the house cool and fresh. You can increase the power of the Yueneng negative pressure fan, increase the number of fans, and increase the air flow speed in the house. When ventilating, make the air flow along the long axis of the chicken house, so that the wind speed flowing through the chicken body is increased, and the heat generated by the chicken body can be taken away in time.
Barrier heat source
Reducing the heat into the house Sunlight is the direct factor leading to the increase in temperature in the house, and reducing the intrusion of heat through radiation conduction is the prerequisite for maintaining the temperature in the house.
① Avoid direct sunlight into the house. You can build a pergola on the sunny side of the chicken house. If conditions permit, you can plant grass and trees around the chicken house to absorb heat through the plants and reduce the air temperature.
② Reduce the heat absorption of the dormitory wall. You can paint the sunny walls and roof of the chicken house with white paint to enhance reflection and reduce heat absorption; you can also cover the roof of the chicken house with a certain thickness of straw and sprinkle water to cut off the heat source.
Evaporative heat
One is to sprinkle some cold water on the floor of the chicken house to absorb heat by evaporation of water; the other is to use a high-pressure sprayer to hold cold water for spatial spraying. Depending on the temperature in the house, spray once every 2 to 3 hours to reduce the temperature in the house ℃~7℃. When performing evaporative heat dissipation, doors and windows must be opened to enhance convection ventilation to avoid excessive humidity (over 60%) in the house from aggravating the adverse effects of high temperature.
Add water
Adequate water supply to alleviate the impact of high temperature Providing adequate drinking water is one of the measures to mitigate the impact of high temperature. The water should be cool and clean, and the pH value should be between 6.5 and 7.5. The best drinking time for chickens is from 6 am to 10 am, and the water temperature is 8°C to 12°C. If necessary, ice cubes can be added. Normally, the water intake of the chicken is 4 times the feed intake.
