Feeding methods and matters needing attention of free-range chickens

Choose a place with flat terrain, sheltered from the wind and sunny, normal drainage and irrigation, no stagnant water, good vegetation, good isolation conditions and convenient transportation to build a henhouse. The hen house should plan the rest room and playground, and then prepare the sink, sink and temperature control facilities.

2. Variety selection.

In rural areas, free-range chickens are mainly native chickens, such as Lu Hua chicken, Sanhuang chicken, black-bone chicken and green shell laying hens, because of their high market demand, strong growth ability and strong disease resistance.

3. hello.

Free-range chickens in rural areas grow slowly, and the requirements for feed are not very high. It is best to feed mixed feed. If you feed the same feed, it will cause malnutrition. If you have corn, pumpkin, sweet potato, rice and cassava at home, you can feed them together. Corn and rice can be ground into powder, and pumpkins and sweet potatoes can be cooked.

4. Daily management.

To manage chickens, we need to pay attention to temperature and humidity. In short, we should take good care of them, otherwise they will not survive easily. To manage chicks well, male hens should be raised separately, and the amount of water tanks and vegetable pots should be appropriate every day, not too much. Manage adult chickens to meet the nutritional components of laying hens' feed and increase the nutritional components of overwintering chickens' feed.

5. Disease prevention.

Free-range chickens have strong disease resistance and few diseases, but they have more opportunities to contact pathogens. Hygiene, disinfection and epidemic prevention should be done well. Common diseases in chickens include colibacillosis and trichomoniasis. If an epidemic disease occurs, it should be dealt with in time so as not to affect the breeding efficiency. Remove chicken manure regularly every day, disinfect chicken coops regularly, do not feed spoiled feed and drinking water, and control the breeding density.

6, timely sales.

Chicken should be sold in time to maximize the benefits. If the feeding period is too short, it will lead to poor meat quality and poor taste. If the feeding cycle is too long, it will lead to old meat quality and increase the feeding cost, which is not cost-effective.
