CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Summer Animal Husbandry: How to Raise Chickens Scientifically in the Hot Summer

Reasonable adjustment of chicken house environment

In the hot summer weather, it is a great challenge for the growth and breeding of chickens. In order to ensure the healthy growth of chickens, we need to reasonably adjust the chicken house environment. First of all, we must ensure that the chicken house is well ventilated, clean up the feces in the chicken house in time, and keep the indoor air fresh and flowing. Secondly, we can set up shields to prevent direct sunlight from shining into the chicken house and provide a cool environment.

Replenish water and nutrition in time

In hot weather, chickens are prone to dehydration due to excessive consumption of body fluids, so it is necessary to ensure that the chickens have sufficient drinking water at all times. In addition, additives such as methionine can be added to the feed to maintain the various nutrients required for the growth of chickens.

Scientific feed plan

In the hot summer, the conventional feed plan may not meet the nutritional needs of chickens. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate a scientific and reasonable feed plan based on the growth stage and ambient temperature of the chickens. Mineral supplements can be added according to the nutritional needs of chickens to enhance the disease resistance of chickens.

Watch for changes in flock behavior

In hot weather, the behavior of chickens will change. Once you find abnormalities in the flock, such as a sudden increase or decrease in water intake or a decrease in food intake, you should promptly investigate the cause and take appropriate measures to prevent the flock from getting sick.

Get regular health checks

Finally, for summer chicken farming, regular health checks are very important. You can ask a veterinarian to perform regular physical examinations on the chickens to ensure the health of the flock. At the same time, pay attention to changes in the chickens' mental state, body temperature, etc., so as to detect problems in time and take measures.

Through the above scientific chicken-raising measures, the healthy growth of chickens can be ensured in the hot summer and the breeding efficiency can be improved.
