CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the ways to heat the brooder room? How to choose the brooder heating equipment?

1. What are the heating methods for the brooder room? How to choose the brooder heating equipment?

After hatching, chicks cannot maintain their own body temperature, and their gastrointestinal volume is small, their self-defense ability is poor, and their disease resistance is weak. Therefore, they are threatened by many diseases. Therefore, the general requirements for the brooding room should be that it can keep warm and adjust the air in cold seasons, and be ventilated and breathable to prevent rodent damage in hot seasons. 1. Insulation equipment for brooding rooms: (1) Nanny umbrella: The umbrella surface is usually made of two layers of fiberboard nailed together, and the middle is filled with rice husks or old cotton for heat insulation. An infrared lamp is installed on the top of the umbrella. A fixed observation hole that is not nailed can be opened near the top of the umbrella to observe the chicks and adjust the temperature. (2) Underground flue method: This method has many advantages, because the underground flue is heated from the ground where the chicks move, so that the heat passes through the chicken body and then dissipates into the air, solving the contradiction between heat preservation and air circulation. In addition, the heat energy comes from the ground under the chicks' abdomen, which can promote the digestion and absorption of egg yolk and feed, and overcome the indigestion caused by the cold abdomen. 2. Feeding trough: You can make your own feeding trough with wood and fiberboard, or buy a plastic feeding trough. In order to ensure that the chickens eat evenly and reduce waste, the troughs are divided into three types: large, medium and small. The smallest type of trough is used for chicks. 3. Drinking fountain: The purpose of using a drinking fountain is to continuously supply clean drinking water, save water, prevent water leakage, not easily wet the chicken feathers, keep the ground dry, and be easy to clean.

2. What is the best heating equipment for the brooding room?

The brooding room can be kept warm by using solar lamps or incandescent lamps.

3. How to build a brooder room for chicks?

The purpose of the brooding room is to concentrate on the physiological characteristics of chicks and cultivate them in a warm and concentrated manner, so as to improve the vitality of breeding and save breeding costs! The ideal brooding room should have good heat preservation, humidity control and light.

The size of the brooding room is related to the breeding volume, generally 100 chicks are raised per square meter.

4. What is the method for disinfecting the brooding room?

(1) A chicken house with all chickens entering and exiting can be disinfected according to the following procedures:

First, thoroughly clean and scrub the chicken coop. Remove the excrement and other waste from the chicken coop and transport it out for harmless disposal (Question 10).

Then use high-pressure water spray to thoroughly rinse the ceiling, walls, doors, windows, floor and all facilities. Disinfect immediately after the water dries up. When using liquid disinfectants, calculate the dosage based on 1 liter per square meter. The order of disinfection is top to bottom, that is, spray the ceiling first, then the walls and doors and windows, and finally the floor. Open the doors and windows for ventilation after the end. Formaldehyde and potassium permanganate fumigation can also be used. Calculate the required dosage according to the volume of the chicken house (see Question 15 for details).

(2) If an infectious disease occurs, the chicken house and the flock must be disinfected promptly and strictly to reduce losses:

① Remove secretions and excrement promptly and carry out sterilization and deinsectization.

② Use 0.3% peracetic acid or 0.1% chlorpyrifos to spray the environment and the body of the chicken, but be careful not to spray directly on the chicken's head.

If it is a chick, the temperature should be raised to 35-40℃ and the feathers should be dried as soon as possible. Formaldehyde fumigation can also be used to disinfect the chicken body.

5. How to deal with ammonia in the brooding room?

Deodorizing products produced to remove the ammonia smell and odor in the brooding pen. Nongfukang biological deodorizing liquid is a pure biological preparation, the main ingredients include: lactic acid bacteria, yeast, photosynthetic bacteria, actinomycetes and other beneficial bacteria. Through the decomposition of beneficial bacteria, the odor in the brooding room can be quickly removed. It is safe, non-toxic and harmless, and lasts for a long time.

Advantages of using Nongfukang biological deodorant in chicken brooding room:

1. Safe and effective

Nong Fukang biological deodorant is a biological preparation that does not contain hormones or any chemical ingredients. It is a microbial probiotic preparation, so it is very safe for both humans and animals during use. It has no effect when sprayed directly on chickens. On the contrary, it can inhibit bacteria in the chicken's body and prevent diseases.

2: Good effect and long lasting effect

Ordinary chemical deodorants can only last for one or two days and are very irritating. The main ingredient of Nongfukang biological deodorant is beneficial microbial bacteria. As long as there is space for survival, the probiotics can continue to multiply and continue to inhibit bacteria. It completely uses a microecological competition to remove the ammonia odor in the chicken brooding room.

3: Easy to use:

One bottle of Nongfukang biological deodorant liquid mixed with 30 kg of water can be used to spray a 200 square meter chicken brooding room. One box of Nongfukang biological deodorant liquid contains 12 bottles, which can spray a 2,400 square meter chicken house. It is economical, simple and easy to use. The odor is greatly reduced 2 days after spraying, and the ammonia content is reduced. The effect of spraying can last for about a week. For long-term use, it can be sprayed every 15-20 days, depending on the ammonia odor content in the chicken brooding room.

6. How to construct and heat the brooding room?

Answer: 1. The brooding room faces south and has a net width of 5 meters from north to south. The length depends on the number of chickens. It is 2.5 meters high, has a door, a large window on the south, and a small window on the north. The doors and windows can be opened and closed.

2. The surrounding walls are double 12-inch hollow 34-cm brick walls with a 10-cm interval between them. The roof is made of hollow panels with insulation and leak-proof materials. The ground is solid and leveled with cement, sand and gravel. The walls and ceiling are smoothed with cement or lime to facilitate disinfection.

3. Buy ready-made brooding cages: leave an aisle on the south wall, in the middle, and on the north wall, and place two rows of brooding cages back to back in the middle of the two aisles, for a total of four rows (calculated as 20 chicks per square meter of cage surface).

4. The length of the feed trough and water trough is 3-5 cm per chicken. The upper side of the brooding room aisle is 2 meters above the ground, and there is a light socket every 1.5 meters. Prepare utensils for adding feed, water, cleaning, disinfection, etc.

5. There should be sufficient heating equipment in the brooding room to ensure that the temperature can reach 35℃ at the coldest time (pay attention to prevent fire, smoke and gas poisoning hazards)

7. What are the requirements for the construction of a brooding room?

The warm-keeping period of goslings can be up to about 21 days, so the requirements for the brooding goose house are insulation, dryness, ventilation without draughts, and easy installation of insulation equipment. Usually, the beam height of the goose house is 2.2 to 2.5 meters, the ratio of window area to ground is 1:10 to 15, the rear eaves are 1.6 to 1.8 meters high, the front eaves are 1.8 to 2.0 meters high, and there is a flat roof inside, which can enhance the lighting and air circulation in the house. The brooding room should be selected in a sunny, leeward, high and dry place, and should be well insulated and conducive to ventilation. The brooding house can be divided into several separate brooding rooms, or it can be divided into several single rooms with movable isolation fences. The area of ​​each small room is 25 to 30 square meters, which can accommodate about 100 goslings under 30 days old. The ground inside the house should be 20 to 30 centimeters higher than the outside of the house. The ground can be paved and compacted with clay or sand, or with cement. A feeding trough and a paddling pool should be set up in front of the goose house. The brooding room can also be converted from a vegetable greenhouse, either a 6-meter or 8-meter multi-span greenhouse. The ground inside the greenhouse is raised by 20 cm, and drainage ditches are dug on three sides around it, with one side leading to the activity field. The roof is first covered with straw, wheat straw, etc., and then covered with plastic film. A sunshade net is required in summer, and a flue heating effect is better in winter. It is also possible to use high beds for brooding chicks in a multi-span greenhouse.

8. How to solve the problem of low humidity in the brooding room?

The required humidity range during brooding is 65-70%. This value can be measured and observed by a hygrometer. The hygrometer can be purchased on Taobao or in a pharmacy. After purchase, hang it in the middle of the brooding room.

If the humidity in the house is not enough, you can put a few basins of water near the coal stove, or sprinkle a few basins of water appropriately. If the humidity is high, it is time to ventilate the house and exhaust the moisture in the house. Before exhausting the air, raise the temperature in the house by 2 degrees to avoid lowering the temperature in the house when exhausting the moisture.

9. How to build a brooding room for 1,000 pheasant chicks?

Chicks refer to chickens aged 0 to 60 days. To raise black chickens well, chicks must be raised well. The quality of chick raising is directly related to the growth and development of grown chickens, the productivity of breeder chickens and the utilization of breeding value. It is a critical period for the success or failure of chicken production. Therefore, chick raising is a very patient, meticulous and important job.

1. Physiological characteristics of chicks

1. The body temperature of young chicks is low and their temperature regulation function is not perfect.

The body temperature of newborn chicks is 2~3℃ lower than that of adult chickens. It starts to rise slowly at 4 days old and reaches the body temperature of adult chickens at 10 days old. At about 3 weeks old, the body temperature regulation function gradually becomes perfect. After 7~8 weeks old, it has the ability to adapt to the temperature changes of the external environment. The chicks have short and sparse hair and thin skin, and it is difficult for them to keep warm in the early stage. Therefore, during the brooding period, especially in the early stage, attention should be paid to heat preservation and cold prevention.

2. Chicks grow rapidly and have a high metabolism.

The weight of egg chicks at 2 weeks of age is about 2 times that of newborns, 10 times at 6 weeks of age, and 15 times at 8 weeks of age; broilers grow faster, 4 times, 32 times, and 50 times, respectively. The growth rate will gradually slow down with the increase of age. Chicks have a vigorous metabolism and a fast heartbeat, with a pulse of 250 to 350 beats per minute, and up to 560 beats per minute when they are just hatched. When they are quiet, their oxygen consumption per unit body weight is more than 1 times higher than that of livestock. The heat output per unit body weight per hour of chicks is 5.5 calories per gram of body weight, which is twice that of adult chickens. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure both the nutritional needs of chicks and good air quality.

3. The feathers of young chicks grow fast and are replaced frequently.

The feathers of chicks are 4% of their body weight at 3 weeks of age, 7% at 4 weeks of age, and remain roughly unchanged thereafter. From hatching to 20 weeks of age, chickens need to replace their feathers four times, at 4-5 weeks of age, 7-8 weeks of age, 12-13 weeks of age, and 18-20 weeks of age. The protein content in feathers is as high as 80-82%, which is 4-5 times that of meat and eggs. Therefore, the protein level (especially sulfur-containing amino acids) in the diet of chicks should be high.

4. The digestive system is not fully developed.

The stomach and intestine volume of young chicks is small, the amount of food they eat is limited, the digestive glands are not well developed (lack of certain digestive enzymes), the gizzard grinding ability is poor, and the digestive power is weak. Therefore, pay attention to feeding them low-fiber, easily digestible drinks, and feed them less and add more frequently.

5. Weak resistance and high sensitivity.

Chicks have poor immune function and only start to produce autoantibodies at about 10 days old. The antibodies produced are relatively small. After hatching, maternal antibodies also gradually decay. Maternal antibodies drop to the lowest level at around 3 weeks old. Therefore, 10 to 21 days old is a dangerous period. Chicks have weak resistance to various diseases and adverse environments, and are sensitive to the lack of various nutrients in the feed or excessive toxic drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in vaccination and drug prevention, do a good job in environmental purification, ensure that the feed is nutritious, and the medication is evenly and appropriately administered.

6. Chicks are easily frightened and lack the ability to defend themselves.

Various abnormal noises and novel colors will cause the chicks to become restless, so the brooding environment should be quiet and have facilities to prevent animal damage.

10. How many days should the little peacocks be kept in the brooding room?

Usually 3 months

The feeding of peacocks during the brooding period (1 to 90 days old) is an important period in peacock breeding. It directly affects the growth and development, physical condition, and survival rate of the young peacocks, and thus affects the productivity and breeding value of adult peacocks. The key points in the feeding and management of peacocks during the brooding period are as follows.

The temperature regulation function of young peacocks is not perfect yet, and their adaptability to the external environment is poor. Therefore, in the early stage of brooding, it is necessary to ensure the appropriate temperature. The temperature under the brooding umbrella is 34℃ for 1-3 days old, and the temperature in the brooding room is 26℃; after 4 days old, the temperature is reduced by 1℃ every 2 days (the temperature under the brooding umbrella and the brooding room is reduced at the same time), until it drops to the same temperature as the environment, and then gradually weaning. At the beginning, weaning is done during the day, and still heated at night. After the young peacocks adapt, they can be completely weaned.

When raising young peacocks, you can judge whether the temperature is appropriate based on the behavior of the young chicks and adjust it in time. If the young chicks sleep sweetly and peacefully, stretch their necks and legs, and sleep evenly, the temperature is appropriate; if they breathe with their mouths open and drink water frequently, the temperature is too high; if they chirp, gather together, and don't want to drink water, the temperature is too low.
