What aspects should be paid attention to in the feeding management of young chickens?

Chickens should be fed correctly. When chicks are 6 ~ 8 weeks old, the feed intake of chicks is small at this time. If the inoculation times increase, the weight of chicks will increase rapidly. Yanggu Poultry Chicken Wholesale Factory reminds you that it is necessary to provide a diet with high nutritional value at this time to ensure that the weight of chicks reaches the standard weight. If the weight of chicks is not up to standard, the feed should be adjusted.

1, when chicks are 9 ~ 12 weeks old, the muscles and bones of chicks develop rapidly, so it is necessary to adjust the feed properly to ensure the chicks' weight reaches the standard. When chicks 13 ~ 14 weeks old, the development of bones and muscles of chicks is basically completed, and the weight gain becomes slow. Therefore, from 12 weeks old, it is necessary to control the weight gain speed of chicks with the maturity of sexual organs and the speed of fat deposition.

2. Do a good job in chicks grouping management. During the breeding period, chicks need to be fed in groups according to their size, strength and sex, such as separating overweight chickens from underweight chickens and separating cocks from hens to prevent weak chickens from being bullied by strong chickens. Chickens should be kept in cages in time after breeding. Generally, it is better to be released at 17 ~ 18 weeks. At the same time, chickens should be adjusted 20 ~ 30 days before laying eggs, so as to eliminate those sick and malnourished chickens in time.

3. Do a good job in the light management of chicks. Supplementing light in time is also the key to ensure the yield of laying hens. Generally speaking, the illumination of chickens is guaranteed to be 10 hour per day from their birth, and then gradually extended to16 hour per day after birth. When the chicks reach the age of 90 days, the light should be kept at about 14h. Chickens also have specific requirements for light intensity. Generally, an ordinary light bulb of about 40w can be used, and 1 light bulb can be hung every 3m. The height should be within the reach of the breeder for easy replacement and cleaning.

4. Do a good job in health and epidemic prevention. It is necessary to strengthen health and epidemic prevention, disinfect the inside and outside of the chicken farm regularly, and go to the henhouse for health examination regularly, so as to find the symptoms of the chicken in time, such as observing the mental state of the chicken, whether it is wilting, whether it is isolated, whether it is piled up, whether it shows strong competition when eating, whether the feces are sparse, whether it lays eggs in time, etc. In order to grasp the situation of chickens in time and prevent diseases through timely and meticulous observation. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent outsiders from entering the feeding area casually. If they need to enter, they should be disinfected.

The above four points are the technical points of young chicken feeding and management shared by Sunshine Poultry Youth Wholesale Factory. However, it should be noted that the feeding mode of 1 1 week-old chicks is basically maintained, and the feeding times are not reduced to prevent the chicks from losing weight. It is necessary to maintain the natural weight gain of chicks and keep their weight at the upper limit of standard weight, so as to promote ovarian development and ensure delivery time.
