How to raise chickens with full-automatic cage system at high temperatures

Reduce the temperature in the chicken house

1. Longitudinal ventilation-cooling pad

For the large farm, the chicken quantity more than 10,000 layers farm could install the cooling pad 20-30㎡and draught fan 4-5 pieces, wind speeds of 2-3m/s in the chicken house, reduce the induction temperature of chickens 6-8℃, conditional chicken farms can use deep well water to cool the hot air outside the wet curtain into the chicken house, the effect is better


2. Reduce temperature through mist spray 

The chicken house equipped with automatic spray system can intermittently spray fine fog drops at noon and afternoon when the room temperature is too high, and absorb the heat in the air and hen house through water evaporation to achieve the effect of cooling


3. Cooling by sprinkling water

Semi-open hen house should open doors and windows, maintain air circulation, in addition to fan to strengthen ventilation, can pass to chicken house top or chicken body directly spray the method of cool water

Strengthen feeding management measures

1. Reduce stocking density

The stocking density of caged laying hens in the high temperature season should be guaranteed to be above 500 square centimetre, and the minimum should not be less than 380 square centimetre, the automatic layer cage system do the special design, cage mesh is hot deep galvanized, lifespan more than 25 years, and large size cell, large gap between each tier, good ventilation effect, the birds quantity you could put according to your local temperature, if too hot, could reduce 1-2 birds quantity


2. Fresh, clean, cool water is available throughout the day

The cage system include the automatic drinking system, you only need keep the drinking system connect with the source of water, also could be one large water tank, the large water tank connect with the faucet, keep the water tank have water all time, only the water tank have water, the drinking system will have water all time, chickens could drink anytime, at high temperatures could add the ice cube to reduce the water temperature

Chickens have 2 water peaks one day, usually in 11:00-13:00 pm and 0.5 to 1 hour before lights out. Any work should stagger this time, never interfere with the chicken's drinking water, and ensure an adequate supply of clean, high-quality water


3. Adjust feeding time

Feeding the feed when it is relatively cool in the morning and evening, and feed more feeds during the two peak feeding periods after 6:00 in the morning and 6:00 in the afternoon, so that the chickens are full and well fed, and feed once at night

The automatic feeding system only need one worker operate it, save feeding time and labor, at night feed also could finish quickly, improve the work efficiency


4. Adjust feeds 

1-3% oil can be added to the feed to improve the energy level and protein level of the feed to make up for the nutritional deficiencies caused by the reduction in feed intake, increase feed intake as much as possible, and improve feed utilization

Calcium can be increased to 4%, so that the ratio of calcium to phosphorus is about 7:1, and good eggshell quality can be obtained

Supplementing vitamin C, vitamin E and B vitamins, 0.01-0.04% vitamin C or 0.3% citric acid or 0.3% sodium bicarbonate can be added to drinking water, which can relieve heat stress, improve egg production rate and reduce egg breakage rate


5. Observe birds 

Pay attention to observe the chicken's feed intake, water intake and defecation situation at any time, especially when the air is stuffy at noon and at night, it is necessary to strengthen the inspection of the chicken house to find out the abnormal chickens in time. Once an abnormality is found, timely measures are taken, and at the same time, the diseased chickens and inferior chickens are eliminated in time to reduce the spread of epidemic diseases and economic losses


6. Disease prevention

In hot weather, mosquitoes and flies breed and spread diseases easily. In order to solve the problem of flies, we have to start from the root cause. The most important thing is to improve the disposal method of feces and the environmental sanitation of the factory area. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in the disinfection and epidemic prevention work of the chicken house to prevent the occurrence of diseases

Clean up sundries: clean up chicken manure in time, automatic manure cleaning machine can help farms to clean up chicken manure well and transport it out of the chicken house to keep the chicken house clean and reduce odor


7. Automatic egg collection

The feeding work and the egg collection all be finished by the automatic feeding machine and the automatic egg collection machine. Avoid the impact of manual egg picking and feeding on chickens, all work is done by machines, reducing noise and irritation to chickens

Advantage of using the automatic cage system in farm

1. High degree of automation: automatic feeding, drinking water, manure cleaning, wet curtain cooling, centralized management, automatic control, saving energy consumption, improving labor productivity, reducing manual feeding costs, and greatly improving farmers' breeding efficiency

2. The chicken cage has good epidemic prevention and can effectively prevent infection: the chicken does not touch the feces, which can make the chicken grow healthier, provide a clean growth environment for the chicken, and at the same time it is convenient to observe each chicken, and find abnormalities in time with other chickens group isolation

3. Save space and increase stocking density: the cage density is more than 3 times higher than the flat stocking density

4. Saving breeding feed: raising chickens in chicken cages can save a lot of feed in chicken cages, and raising chickens in chicken cages can reduce exercise, energy consumption and waste. Chicken cages can effectively save more than 25% of breeding costs

5. Sturdy and durable: the complete set of cage chicken equipment adopts hot-dip galvanizing technology, which is resistant to corrosion and aging, and has a service life of 15 to 20 years
