2022-08-09

Raised chickens know that in the process of raising chickens, excluding the initial construction cost of the chicken coop, raising a batch of chickens the largest cost is feed, different chicken breeders raise different meat to feed ratio, the profit earned after the pen is very different, the following 7 feed-saving measures for everyone, I hope it can help you.

1.Use full-price feed
Many novice chicken farmers, there is no special experience, often according to a road down, when raising chickens using a single raw material to feed chickens, such as often fed corn, which caused the chickens to eat more, produce less, and eventually counted down not only earned much money, but also took in a lot of feed money, too uneconomical. It is recommended that chicken breeders can use full-price feed with feeding.

   2.Feeding high-yielding breeds of chickens
The high egg production rate is also related to the breed, which can be a key point to remember when raising chickens. If free-range chickens are mainly egg-laying, we should pay attention to the egg-laying rate of the breed. At present, the egg-laying rate of most rural chickens is not high, and many chicken farmers think that as long as they lay eggs, they do not pay attention to the egg-laying rate at all, and many of them are more resistant to diseases, but they eat more and lay fewer eggs, which causes a waste of feed.

3.Use of cage breeding equipment
Friends who have free-range chickens know that every time they are fed, the feed is spread evenly in the trough, and the chickens tend to gather into piles when they eat, and as soon as there are more chickens, the process of eating chickens is easy to cause waste, and over time, this wastes a lot of feed. If you change to cage, the chicken has limited space to move around and eat more evenly, so there is no feed waste.

   
4.The inner side of the feed trough should be added
To add the inner side of the feed trough is to prevent chickens from eating when the feed is brought out, you can go to the chicken coop to observe some, there is no spilled feed on the ground, if there is, we should pay attention to the feed trough problem. The feed is wasted over time. retech's cage equipment, reasonable trough design, effective feed saving

5.Pay attention to the frequency of feeding
Some chicken farmers, in order to save time, are feeding a lot at once, we have observed many chicken farms, the feed bucket full of feed, which is not only easy to cause the waste of feed, but also may lead to disease. It is recommended that you calculate the approximate amount of feed according to the age and number of chickens, and then feed the chickens according to the number of feed, feed less and add more often, and keep the trough empty for about 30 minutes each time to ensure that the chickens can eat the feed clean.

   6.Do not let the feed moldy
Moldy feed is very easy to cause disease in chickens, feed in the long-term process of stacking easy to mold, especially in the high temperature and high humidity season, must pay attention to this, if the feed mold, you can use Bacitracin to remove bacteria, moldy serious do not continue to feed chickens.

   7.Reduce feed and eliminate low-laying chickens
In the case of egg-laying hens, the feed should be reduced in time after the peak egg-laying period (generally around 42 weeks). Feed reduction should be based on the age and egg production rate. Proper feed reduction will not affect egg production and can save a lot of feed costs, while also avoiding over-fattening the chickens.
After the peak egg-laying period, we need to eliminate the real estate chickens in time. At the later stage, the real estate chickens still eat the same material but lay fewer eggs. At this time, we can save a lot of feed by eliminating low-laying chickens in time.
