When farmers use chicken cages to raise chickens, various problems will arise. Therefore, chicken farmers must regularly check the status of chicken coops and chicken coops. Economic losses.

During the inspection, the following points should be paid attention to:

1. Check harmful gas

The most harmful gases to chickens are ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Due to the strong volatility and irritation of ammonia, if a large amount of ammonia is produced in the chicken house, it will be the first to be sensed as soon as it enters the chicken house. When the smell of ammonia is smelled, it means that the ammonia in the chicken house has already exceeded the standard. In addition, the chicken coops that use coal stoves should pay attention to the carbon monoxide poisoning of personnel and chickens. When the above harmful gases exceed the amount, corresponding measures should be taken immediately, such as appropriately increasing the ventilation, replacing the litter, etc., to reduce the harm to the chickens.

 

2. Check the temperature

For chickens, temperature is very important. Seeing chicken temperature is a common method of use. Check whether the temperature on the thermometer is consistent with the actual temperature required. If there is a big difference in temperature, immediately take measures to increase or decrease the temperature to keep the temperature within the required range.

 

3. Check ventilation

Check whether the chicken cage is well ventilated. Especially in the case of low temperature in winter, often only pay attention to keeping warm and ignore the normal ventilation. When the ventilation is good, the chickens are lively and there is no peculiar smell in the house, especially when the temperature and ventilation are up to the standard, there will be a comfortable feeling. If the chickens are found to be disease-free, wheezing, having a strong peculiar smell, and dusty, it means that the ventilation in the chicken house is extremely poor, and ventilation should be strengthened immediately.

 

4. Check feces

Check the color of the stool and whether there is blood in the stool. Generally speaking, chicken feces are soft, and some feces are in strips. Some diseases can cause diarrhea in chickens, such as infectious bursal disease and infectious bronchitis. The feces of chickens are yellow and white; chickens have green, yellow and white watery feces when they are suffering from Newcastle disease; there are bloody stools in the house, and most chickens are infected Coccidia.

 

5. Check humidity

Check whether the humidity meets the standard. Microorganisms are easy to survive in high humidity, and the hazard of low temperature is more serious if accompanied by low temperature. If the humidity is low, the chicken house is dry, and the chickens are prone to respiratory diseases, especially the young chickens. The long-term dry environment can make the young chickens dehydrated and weakened. Therefore, we must pay attention to the adjustment of the humidity of the chicken house.
