How to carry out good hygiene and disease prevention during the brooding period of white-feathered broilers
Chicks have weak constitutions and poor resistance to pathogenic microorganisms. Once any disease occurs, it is difficult to control; even if the progression of the disease is brought under control, it will still cause irreparable losses to future production. Therefore, during the brooding period, hygiene and disease prevention work must be done well, and prevention must be the priority.

Key Technical Points for Natural Mating Breeding of White-Feathered Broiler Chickens
(1) Male-to-female ratio The male-to-female ratio refers to the number of hens each rooster is responsible for mating. Taking free-range floor rearing as an example, the male-to-female ratio for fast-growing white-feathered broilers is 1:8-10, for high-quality white-feathered broilers it is 1:9-12, and for layer-type chickens it is 1:10-13. If raised on wire-floor flat rearing, the lower limit should be adopted;

Why should broiler farming pay attention to disinfection?
No matter what you farm, disinfection work is essential, and broiler farming is no exception. Before the chicks arrive, the coop must be disinfected. Fumigation disinfection is generally used for coop disinfection. Feed troughs and drinking water utensils can simply be disinfected with disinfectant solution, or they can be placed inside the coop for fumigation disinfection. If this is not the first time farming, then coop disinfection starts from the moment the chickens are sent to market. After broilers are sent to market, there are many pathogenic microorganisms inside and outside the broiler house, so a thorough cleaning and disinfection must be carried out. Disinfect the floor, walls and surrounding areas of the broiler house, gather all manure into piles and let it ferment, and clean and disinfect all farming tools with chemicals. Before disinfection, the coop should first be swept and washed, and organic waste should be cleaned up thoroughly so as to improve the disinfection effect.

What are the mitigation measures for heat stress in broiler chicken farming?
Pay attention to drinking water management. The drinking water intake of chickens under heat stress is an extremely important factor. Under heat stress, more than 80% of the heat produced by chickens is dissipated through evaporation. Studies have proven that an increase in drinking water intake is beneficial to the survival of chickens. Increase the intake of water containing sodium chloride
