Talking about the rearing management of brooding period from the physiological characteristics of chicks

Chicks breeding is a meticulous and important work in the chicken industry. The quality of chicks directly affects the growth and development of chickens, the productivity of chickens, the value of use and economic efficiency, and the physiological characteristics of chicks are very different from those of chickens. Therefore, according to the physiological characteristics of the chicks, it is necessary to formulate measures for feeding and management during the brooding period.

(A) Poor body temperature regulation function, should provide suitable ambient temperature, insist on watching chicken Shi Wen:

The function of the primary body temperature regulation center is not perfect, the body temperature is 1~3°C lower than that of the chicken, the body is villi at the time of birth, lack of cold resistance and heat preservation capacity, and it is afraid of heat and cold, with the increase of age The villi gradually changed into feathers, and the heat preservation capacity gradually increased. At the same time, the body temperature regulation function gradually improved. According to the physiological characteristics of chicks, suitable ambient temperature should be provided during the brooding period. It is generally 35 to 33° C. in the first week, 33 to 31° C. in the second week, 31 to 28° C. in the third week, and 28 to 24° C. in the fourth week, and then gradually lowered to room temperature. In the specific implementation, the temperature of the chicks and the environmental conditions of the climate should be considered.

(II) Chickens have a rapid metabolism and should provide high-quality full-priced feeds to enhance ventilation:

Compared with mammals, chicks have high metabolism, rapid heartbeats, and the amount of oxygen consumed per unit of body weight and the amount of carbon dioxide emitted are more than twice as high as that of livestock. Therefore, fresh air is continuously supplied. Therefore, ventilation and ventilation should be strengthened in management. The chicks grow rapidly. The 2-week-old body weight is about 2 times that of the primary birth. The 6-week-old age is about 10 times that of the primary birth and the 8-week old is about 15 times that of the primary birth. Feather growth is also particularly fast, and the protein content in feathers is between 80% and 82%, so high-protein full-priced feeds should be provided. The protein in the feed should be based on animal protein, and the group should be expanded in time so that each chicken has enough activity space and dietary facilities to facilitate the growth and development of the chicks.

(3) Chickens have weak digestion and absorption functions and should provide digestible feeds.

Chicks have a small stomach volume, a limited amount of food, a weak ability to grind the feed on the muscles and stomach, and a lack of digestive enzymes in the digestive tract. The digestive capacity of the chickens is necessarily poor. According to this feature, feeding and management should be carried out with less feeding. Low fiber, digestible feed.

(4) The immune function of the chicks is not yet complete, and the closed brooding method should be used to strengthen the control of the epidemic diseases:

Chicks have poor immune functions and are vulnerable to infection by various pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, various disease prevention and disease prevention measures should be taken to ensure their healthy growth.

(1) Do a good job of sanitation and disinfection: Before cleaning the house, clean and rinse the chicken house and the surrounding environment, sterilize the chicken regularly during brooding, and reduce the incidence of disease.

(2) Adopting a closed brooding method: The breeder eats and lives in the breeding area, and it is forbidden for other personnel and other articles of the chicken house to enter, preventing the introduction of the disease.

(3) Do a good job in food supply: Supply fresh, pollution-free drinking water and feed to prevent illness from entering the mouth.

(4) Strengthen comprehensive prevention and control of epidemic diseases: Add antibiotics to drinking water and feed to prevent the occurrence of diseases. According to maternal antibody levels and local epidemic situation, do a good job of immunization in a timely manner to enhance disease resistance.

(5) Chicks are afraid of being frightened by frightened chickens. They should do a good job of preventing rats from harm and keep the environment quiet:

Chicks are gregarious, scared and frightened, all kinds of startling and sudden changes in environmental conditions will make them panic, so while focusing on the work of preventing rats from killing, the keeper must also take care of the work. Avoid various stress factors

The influence of the chicks is to keep the environment quiet and ensure that they grow well.

(6) The water consumption of chickens is easy to be dehydrated. The chicken body should be replenished in time to prevent the dehydration of chickens:

During the 21-day high temperature hatching process, the egg consumes a large amount of water. After hatching, the chicks are delivered to the brooding house after delivery, epidemic prevention, and transportation. This time is long and the chicks are easily dehydrated, so the drinking water should be provided in time. It is best to warm water, add 5% glucose and a small amount of vitamin C in water to prevent stress and dehydration
