How to Raise Sanhuang Chickens? A Detailed Explanation of Breeding Methods and Key Technical Points

Sanhuang chickens have a delicious flavor and are rich in nutrients. They enjoy a great reputation both domestically and internationally, are welcomed by consumers in the market, and are fairly widely raised. They are currently the main breed of chicken raised in our country. So how should Sanhuang chickens be raised? Let's take a look together.

1. A Good Environment

At 1-2 days of age, Sanhuang chickens need the temperature of their growing environment to be kept between 32-34 degrees. As their age in days increases, the temperature can be lowered accordingly, generally by 3 degrees per week. After 5 weeks of age, a temperature of 20-21 degrees is appropriate, but it should not be lower than 16 degrees at minimum. During brooding, the daily temperature in the chicken house can fluctuate up and down by 1-2 degrees. The temperature difference created in this way can promote the appetite of the chicks, increase their feed intake, and promote their growth.

2. Rich Nutrition

Sanhuang chickens need rich nutrients for growth, so the nutrition in the feed must be comprehensive and complete. No trace nutrient can be lacking, otherwise Sanhuang chickens may show abnormal reactions. In addition, the feed must be high in energy and high in protein to promote rapid growth of Sanhuang chickens; the proportions of the various nutrients in the feed must be appropriate, so as to avoid either too much or too little of a certain nutrient, both of which are unfavorable to the growth of Sanhuang chickens.

3. Sufficient Drinking Water

Water is one of the essential nutrients for the growth of Sanhuang chickens. Throughout the entire feeding process, the water intake of Sanhuang chickens is 2-3 times their feed intake. The higher the temperature, the more water they drink. Therefore, supplying sufficient clean drinking water is an important guarantee for successful Sanhuang chicken breeding. After the chicks enter the house, they should be artificially guided to drink 20-degree sugar water, and they can only be started on feed 2-3 hours after drinking water. The drinking water temperature in the first week should be controlled at around 20 degrees, and some soluble vitamins can be added in an appropriate amount, with other nutrients gradually added later. During the drinking period, cleanliness and dryness must be maintained, and cleaning and disinfection should be done 1-2 times a day to prevent bacteria from invading through the water source.

4. Appropriate Lighting

Sanhuang chickens need appropriate lighting for growth, mainly to extend their feeding time, increase their feed intake, and make them grow faster. Generally, 1-2-day-old Sanhuang chickens need 24 hours of light. After 3 days of age, reduce it by one hour, and keep one hour of light at night so they can adapt to sudden power outages. As the flock grows, gradually reduce the lighting time, but it must not be less than 14 hours per day. At the same time, also pay attention to the flock's behavior, feed intake, droppings, breathing, and other conditions. Solve any problems promptly when found.
