Precautions for raising chickens in summer

Disinfection management: In summer, the temperature is high and the chicken coop is humid, which can easily lead to diseases and endanger the health of chickens. Therefore, it is required that clear disinfection regulations should be established both inside and outside the chicken coop to ensure the health of chickens and prevent the occurrence of various infectious diseases.Chicken coop temperature: In summer, if the temperature of the chicken coop is too high, the feed intake of the chickens will decrease, the growth rate will slow down, and it will affect later income. Therefore, when the temperature is above 25 degrees, the doors and windows of the chicken coop should be opened in a timely manner to allow air convection and take away heat. When the indoor temperature is above 30 degrees, a cool shed should be built inside the chicken coop to provide shade and sun protection.

Disease prevention: The most explosive type of coccidiosis in summer. If chickens are found to have red stools, they are likely to be infected with coccidiosis. In this case, it is necessary to take medication quickly. Sulfonamide drugs are effective in treating chicken coccidiosis, but attention should be paid to the timing and duration of medication when using sulfonamide drugs.

Drinking water management: In the hot summer, chickens cannot do without water, and the impact of water shortage on chickens is particularly significant. Water shortage can lead to a decrease in egg production, and even result in egg production not being able to return to normal values.

Check the circuit: In summer, high-power appliances such as fans will be used to cool down the chicken cage. When too much electricity is used, the load pressure on the circuit will be very high. In many cases, the farm is destroyed by fire caused by excessive load or aging of the circuit, so special attention should be paid.
