How to build a modern chicken farm?

Below we will introduce you to the four major precautions for the construction of modern chicken farms, which are the key to the success of chicken farm construction.

Four considerations for the construction of modern chicken farms: site selection and layout, technical points, cost savings and efficiency, and reasonable chicken house construction.

1. Site selection and layout

The standardized construction mode of a single chicken farm with a scale of 10,000 to 20,000 has become the main body of the current laying hen production in my country.

The site selection and layout of the farm should be convenient for transportation, with a dedicated road with hardened pavement leading directly to the site; the terrain is high, sheltered from the wind and sunny, and the drainage is convenient; the water source is stable, and the water quality meets the national drinking water standard.

   The layout should be considered to facilitate epidemic prevention and organization of production. The site area can be divided into production area, office area, living area, auxiliary production area, sewage treatment area and other areas. At the same time, the layout should be based on the principle of dominant wind direction, terrain height and water flow direction.

2. Technical points

The site is divided into production area, living area and office area according to function, and each area is completely separated.

The production area is divided into a brooding area and an egg-laying area. The clean and dirty channels are separated, the biological safety control is better, and the layout is reasonable, which is conducive to sanitation and epidemic prevention and disease control.

   The type of chicken farms is a closed type chicken coop. The building is sturdy and durable, with good thermal insulation performance, and the environment inside the house is well controlled. When the temperature outside the house is -15°C in winter, the environment inside the house can still meet the production needs of laying hens. This mode can meet the requirements of large-scale laying hen production. In this mode, the environment of the chicken farm is clean, the air quality of the chicken house is better, and the labor efficiency is high.

3. Cost saving

The construction mode of the farm adopts the two-stage feeding method of brooding and laying hens, which solves the original three-stage feeding of multiple batches of chickens and mixed breeding of multi-day-old chickens, which is conducive to epidemic prevention and avoids mixing in the same area. Compared with the cross-infection caused by breeding, the incidence of infectious diseases is reduced by 80%, and the cost of vaccines and veterinary drugs is reduced by more than 20%;

The integrated feeding mode of brooding is conducive to the insulation of the chick house, avoiding the stress of temperature difference from the brooding house to the rearing house, reducing the artificial stress caused by the transfer, improving the quality of the flock, and improving the cage position. The utilization efficiency reduces the cost of breeding.

4.Building a chicken coop reasonably

The chicken house is reasonably constructed, using mechanical ventilation and wet curtain cooling system, and the environmental control in the house can meet the needs of laying hens production. The average temperature in the chicken farms in winter can reach more than 13 ℃, and the temperature in the chicken house in summer can be maintained at 25.2 ℃.

Farmers can build chicken farms based on the actual scale of their chicken farms, so as to ensure the maximization of the production benefits of chicken flocks.
