What problems should be paid attention to in the feeding management of free-range poultry in summer?

Summer is hot, rainy and humid, so attention should be paid to the management of free-range poultry:

(1) heatstroke prevention and cooling to provide a cool environment for free-range poultry. Planting trees, building awnings and spraying water in poultry playgrounds are all good measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down.

(2) High temperature reduced the feed intake of poultry. In order to reduce the decline of production performance caused by insufficient nutrient intake, the nutrient concentration of feed should be appropriately increased, the feeding times should be increased and the feeding amount should be reduced each time.

(3) Feed should be stored in a cool and ventilated place, and kept fresh to prevent mildew and deterioration; If ducks and geese are fed a wet mixture, check whether the feed added last time has deteriorated before each feeding. If it has deteriorated, it should be discarded and fed after cleaning the tank.

(4) In order to reduce the influence of heat stress on poultry, 0.0 1% ~ 0.02% vitamin C or 0. 1% sodium bicarbonate can be added to the feed.

(5) Take waterproof and drainage measures, keep the poultry house dry, remove the accumulated water in the playground in time, and reduce the dirty water in the playground where ducks and geese play.

(6) Clean drinking utensils in time and disinfect them regularly to ensure the hygiene and safety of poultry drinking water.

(7) Clean up the feces in time. The padding should be changed frequently to prevent mildew and fermentation, and the chicken house and sports ground should be strictly disinfected regularly.
