In the winter, the temperature in some areas decreases, how should the closed chicken house deal with it? To ensure the health of chickens, you can start from the following aspects. Learn from retech farming experts.
•Control humidity
The humidity of the chicken house should also be paid attention to. If the humidity is too low, the chicken house will be dry, which will lead to an increase in the drinking water of the chicken group, which will lead to symptoms such as diarrhea in the chicken group. It should be between 60 and 70%. At the same time, attention should be paid to the disinfection of the chicken house to reduce the incidence of diseases in the flock.
•Proper ventilation
According to the temperature rise and fall, gradually increase and decrease the ventilation volume.
During the period of high temperature around noon, moderate ventilation should be carried out, and in the cold stage from late night to morning before the sun rises, the minimum ventilation amount is appropriate.
Intermittent ventilation can be used in autumn nights and in winter when the temperature is low to ensure the stability of the ventilation volume and temperature of the poultry house.
Ventilation should be gradually increased to prevent the effect of air cooling and a significant drop in humidity from chilling poultry.
•Increase light
Lighting can not only enhance the hen’s physique, but also promote the secretion of pituitary gland hormones in the hen, so that the hen’s egg-laying vitality is exuberant.
Therefore, artificial light should be supplemented in winter due to shortened weather to stimulate laying hens to lay more eggs.
Usually, electric lights are installed in the chicken house, so that the light received by the hens can reach 15 hours; the method of turning on the lights early in the morning and turning off the lights in the evening can also be used, so that the light time of laying hens in winter is longer than that in summer and autumn 0.5 to 1 hour.
