Modern Chicken Farm Construction Methods and Technical Key Points
Nowadays, whether in the livestock farming industry or the crop farming industry, it is necessary to follow the pace of the times and constantly improve and make progress. Modern chicken farm construction also brings great benefits to chicken farming, for example, it can increase the survival rate of chickens and achieve the goals of low consumption and high efficiency farming, integrating specialization, integration and modernization into one. So how should a modern chicken farm be built? Follow along with the editor below to take a look.
1. Basic Planning of the Chicken Farm
Before building a chicken farm, a basic plan needs to be made. First, we need to choose a suitable farming site, trying to avoid dense farming areas, prohibited farming areas and residential areas, and choose an area with good water quality that is quiet but has convenient transportation and power. Second, determine the farming model, mainly whether it focuses on fattening or egg production, or both. Finally, reasonably plan the scale of farming and scientifically plan the construction plan of the chicken houses.
2. Layout of the Chicken Farm
The layout of the chicken farm is mainly divided into overall layout and internal layout. The overall layout of the chicken farm mainly involves reasonably distributing the production area, office area, living area, auxiliary production area and manure and sewage treatment area, these major directions, and they should be reasonably distributed according to the height of the terrain and the wind direction, to avoid the phenomenon of being unable to carry out production due to the layout. The internal layout of the chicken farm is to consider the orientation of the chicken houses, preferably facing south with the back to the north; next is that the distance between chicken houses, walkways, door fences, ventilation, doors and windows, water ditches, etc. in the chicken farm should be well distributed.
3. Construction Methods
The construction of chicken farms is generally divided into two types, namely open-style chicken houses and closed-style chicken houses. Open-style chicken houses have walls and windows, while closed-style chicken houses have no windows. Next, the floor of the chicken house should be built with materials that are moisture-proof, flat and easy to clean; the walls are best made with good heat insulation; the roof should adopt a double-slope style; the distance between chicken houses should be planned according to the raising density, generally six to fifteen meters. The walkways in the farm generally need to be kept at about one point five meters, so as to facilitate mechanical operations. Finally, the exercise yard in the chicken farm should be relatively spacious, and some sand and stones should be placed in the middle or some supports should be set up.
4. Farming Equipment
The most basic equipment in a chicken farm is feed troughs, water troughs and some cleaning tools. But in order to improve farming efficiency and the economic benefits of farming, we also need to be equipped with some other equipment, such as chick cages, growing chicken cages, layer cages, incubation equipment, feeding equipment, drinking water equipment, temperature control equipment, lighting equipment, ventilation equipment, disinfection equipment, epidemic prevention equipment, etc. These are all equipment standards that exist in relatively modern farms.
Today the editor wants to share with everyone the construction plan for a modern chicken farm, hoping to help all friends who raise chickens. Using modern advanced chicken farming technology to raise chickens can not only increase chicken production, but also reduce farming costs to a certain extent.
