How to improve broiler uniformity? These methods are simple and practical

Broiler uniformity is a major criterion for judging whether broilers grow well during the rearing period. It is also directly related to the production performance of broilers, and broiler uniformity can also be used to predict the laying rate, egg weight, and so on of the flock. Therefore, in order to improve the production performance of broilers, broiler uniformity is very important. So how should we improve broiler uniformity? Below, the editor will give you a brief introduction. Let's take a look together!

1. Rearing environment

If you want to improve broiler uniformity, then first you must create an excellent rearing environment for the broilers. A relatively balanced temperature must be maintained inside the chicken house, and the temperature difference between day and night should be kept within 3 degrees and must not be too large. The relative humidity inside the house is also very important, especially within three days after the chicks hatch, when the humidity should be maintained at about 65% to prevent dehydration of the chicks. Finally, we must also pay attention to doing a good job of ventilation to ensure the air quality inside the house, and adjust the ventilation volume properly according to the age of the broilers.

2. First water and first feed

For day-old broilers, if they have undergone long-distance transport, then after being transported into the house, they should be given water and feed in a timely manner. To avoid transport stress in the day-old broilers, about half an hour before transport arrival, the drinkers and feed should be placed in advance. When adding feed, the principle of small amounts and frequent feeding should be followed to promote the development of the broilers' gastrointestinal tract and immune system. For chicks, the earlier they are given water and feed, the more beneficial it will be to the chicks' growth and development, and it can also effectively improve their body weight uniformity. Therefore, everyone must pay a lot of attention when raising chicks.

3. Chick selection

The body weight uniformity of broilers is directly related to the chicks. When feeding the chicks, we should, according to the chicks' drinking and eating conditions, pick out the chicks that have not eaten feed and raise them separately. About two hours after the first water and first feed, the crops of the chicks should be checked once to examine the water and feed situation. If, four hours after the first water and first feed, there are still chicks that have not completely drunk and eaten, then it is necessary to check whether it is caused by reasons such as lighting or the height of the drinkers. Then, in the first week, we must also do a good job of vaccination work.

4. Feed uniformity

The body weight uniformity of the flock will be affected by the proportion of nutrients in the feed. Moreover, how the nutrient proportions are distributed in the feed will also affect it. Therefore, we should pay attention to maintaining good feed uniformity; the feed should be completely mixed and amino acids should be added appropriately. If the nutrients in the feed are imbalanced and the palatability is poor, then the broilers' feed intake will be more or less, thereby causing uneven body weight, making nutritional deficiency diseases prone to occur, and affecting the uniformity of the flock.

The above is a brief introduction to how to improve broiler uniformity. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
