What are the hazards of poor ventilation in a chicken coop? A detailed explanation of improvement measures

Ventilation is not only extremely important for humans, but also very important for plants and animals. For example, in chicken farming, many farmers always encounter various problems when raising chickens, and in fact these are somewhat related to a lack of ventilation. Now let's learn together about the hazards of poor ventilation in a chicken coop and the improvement measures.

I. Hazards of poor ventilation in a chicken coop

If a chicken coop is not ventilated for a long time, oxygen deficiency will occur over time, and it is not only oxygen deficiency, because the excrement of the flock produces gases such as ammonia, and these toxic gases cannot be discharged normally. Over time, as the concentration rises, it may cause gas poisoning in the flock. In addition, in order to raise the temperature of the chicken coop, many people often use the method of burning charcoal or burning coal to raise the temperature. Doing so will cause the carbon monoxide concentration to rise. If ventilation is not carried out in time, then not only will the flock be in danger, but the farmers may also be in danger after entering.

II. Improvement measures

1. Ventilation

The best method is frequent ventilation. Generally, heating measures are taken, and generally ventilation is carried out. Although this may be time-consuming and labor-intensive, it will neither affect the temperature nor fail to make the air better. In addition, when burning charcoal and burning coal, attention must be paid to ventilation to avoid poisoning.

2. Stocking density

When raising chickens, attention must be paid to density, and it must not be too high. If cage raising is adopted, they should not be placed too tightly, and appropriate ventilation should be noted, so that the air can become better.

3. Greening

Attention must be paid to greening around the chicken coop, as this can also play a certain role in improving air quality and make the ecological environment of the chicken coop better.

4. Cleaning up manure

Many toxic gases come from chicken excrement, so chicken excrement must be cleaned up in time. The longer the excrement remains, the more toxic gases there will be. Usually, bedding material should also be spread in the chicken coop, and attention should be paid to replacing it.

5. Adsorption

Activated carbon, quicklime, coal cinder, etc. can be put into mesh bags and hung inside the chicken coop, or some can be scattered in the walkways. This has a certain adsorption effect on toxic gases and reduces the concentration of toxic gases in the air as much as possible.
