Eight Key Points of Poultry Production Management in Summer High Temperature Period

At the high temperature period in summer, the temperature in the barn is high, and poor ventilation can easily cause heat stroke in poultry. Because poultry has the characteristics of high body temperature and strong metabolism, and poultry itself does not have sweat glands, continuous high temperature will increase the body temperature of poultry, and because the feathers are thick and difficult to dissipate heat, the ability to prevent heatstroke is poor. If you do not pay attention to cooling and preventing heatstroke in the hot summer, poultry will experience rapid breathing, increased drinking water, loss of appetite, etc., Which will affect the growth rate, egg production rate, and even heatstroke or even death in severe cases, resulting in poor breeding profits. At this time, it is necessary for us to take the following measures to reduce the economic losses that may be caused by the high temperature period.

1. Improve the external environment of the barn: You can choose the appropriate location of the barn and the structural material of the outer wall and roof to ensure the ideal thermal insulation effect. A shading net canopy can be installed during the high temperature period in summer. You can also plant some vines and trees around the barn for shade.

2. Improve hardware facilities: use fans, water curtains, sprays, sprinklers and other facilities to cool down, strengthen ventilation and heat dissipation in the barn, avoid ground water, control the humidity in the chicken house, and improve the poultry breeding environment.

3. Reduce the stocking density: In the high-density intensive poultry farming industry, if conditions permit, it is possible to reduce the poultry's own heat production and reduce the temperature in the chicken house by appropriately reducing the stocking density.

4. Keep the barn clean and hygienic: remove the faeces in the barn in time, transport the faeces out in time every day, disinfect the inside and outside of the barn regularly, and do a good job of killing rodents and mosquitoes to prevent the spread of diseases.

5. Make a power outage emergency plan: Generally, more electricity is used during the high temperature period. It is necessary to make emergency preparations for high power outages in advance. Conditional farms can provide their own generators to prevent sudden power outages and cause major economic losses.

6. Ensure sufficient drinking water: keep the water in the water tank or drinking fountain sufficient, increase the number of drinking water and the drinking water appropriately.It is very important to choose a stable waterline system supplier. We are a professional supplier in China, welcome to inquiry!

7. Scientific feeding: Reasonably adjust the feeding time. Poultry eats more food in the cool time, and try to use the cool time in the morning and evening to feed. Adjust the diet formula in time, appropriately increase the proportion of protein feed such as the soybean meal, reduce the concentration of energy feed, and appropriately add green and juicy feed such as fruits, vegetables, and forage. At the same time, the feed and feed raw materials should be regularly inspected to avoid mildew of the feed.

8. Some additives for relieving heat stress, such as bile acids, can be appropriately added to the feed.

The continued high high-temperature weather in summer has a great impact on poultry production. Farmers must take practical measures to deal with the high temperature scientifically to ensure that poultry can spend the summer safely.
