An important job of raising chickens in winter is temperature work. If the temperature is not suitable, it will reduce the appetite and growth rate of chickens. Therefore, the temperature control in winter will have a more serious impact on the growth of chickens. However, there are also some precautions that we need to pay attention to when maintaining the temperature of the chicken house. The following editor will introduce the temperature control and precautions of the chicken house of the automated chicken farm equipment for everyone!

suitable temperature

Chickens can stop self-conditioning in a certain environment, and can maintain their body temperature well. However, within 10 days of the chick, it is unable to self-regulate, and it is relatively difficult to adapt to changes in temperature. Therefore, we still need to pay attention to controlling the temperature. The temperature during the brooding period should be controlled at about 28 degrees to promote the healthy growth of chickens. After the brooding period, the temperature suitable for chicken growth should be controlled at about 20-25 degrees. The temperature should not be too high or too low. If it is too high, the chicken will suffer from heat stroke, and if it is too low, the chicken will easily catch a cold.

close the door

In winter, be sure to close the door or large vents of the chicken coop, especially in the northern regions, where the temperature at night is very low. If it is not closed in time, the cold air will blow into the chicken house from time to time. It forms a fatal threat to chickens and causes chickens to produce cold stress, which is very unfavorable for chicken growth. Therefore, we must pay attention to closing the door when feeding and managing needs to enter the chicken house. Prevent excessive ventilation to reduce the temperature of the chicken house and affect the normal growth of chickens.

Reasonable bedding

Although I just said that the big vents such as the gate should be closed, but the chicken coop cannot be kept in a closed state throughout the winter. Reasonable ventilation is also very important for the growth of chickens, so while ensuring the temperature of the chicken house, we also need to stop the ventilation work of the chicken house every day. Improve the air quality in the chicken house and promote the growth of chickens. And if the chicken house is blocked for a long time, it is also easy to breed a large number of germs, which will cause harm to the chickens, that is, when providing drinking water, pay attention to the water temperature, try to avoid feeding cold water, and keep the water temperature above 10 degrees.
