What is the temperature of raising chickens?

The temperature of chickens during the brooding period should be controlled at about 28℃, and the suitable growth temperature after the brooding period should be controlled at about 20-25℃, and the temperature should not be too high or too low. If it is too low, chickens are prone to catch a cold, and if it is too high, it will lead to heatstroke symptoms. Generally, when the weather is cold, it is necessary to spread a proper amount of grass on the floor of the henhouse, which can effectively raise the temperature of the henhouse and prevent the hens from hitting the ground when laying eggs.

1. What is the temperature of raising chickens?

1, if the temperature is not suitable, it will reduce the appetite and growth rate of chickens, so it is very important to control the temperature in winter for the growth of chickens. Chickens can adjust themselves in a certain environment and keep their body temperature well, but chicks can't adjust themselves within 10 days, so it is difficult to adapt to the change of temperature.

2. So pay attention to control the temperature. The temperature during the brooding period should be controlled at about 28℃, which is conducive to promoting the healthy growth of chickens. After the brooding period, the suitable temperature for chicken growth should be controlled at about 20-25℃, and the temperature should not be too high or too low. If it is too high, it will cause chicken heatstroke. If it is too low, chickens will easily catch a cold and catch a cold.

Second, matters needing attention in controlling the temperature of henhouse in winter

1, close the door

When the weather is cold in winter, it is necessary to close the door of the henhouse, which is still the biggest vent, especially in the north. The temperature is very low at night. If the door is not closed in time, cold air will continue to blow into the henhouse, which will lead to cold stress reaction of chickens, which is not conducive to the growth and development of chickens. Therefore, when feeding, managing or entering the henhouse, we should pay attention to closing the door to prevent excessive ventilation from lowering the temperature of the henhouse.

2, reasonable mat grass

(1) After entering the winter, it is necessary to spread a proper amount of bedding grass on the ground of the henhouse, which can not only effectively raise the temperature of the henhouse, but also prevent the hens from hitting the ground when laying eggs, resulting in egg damage. However, it is necessary to observe the dryness of the mat grass frequently after bedding, and replace the mat grass in time if it is too wet.

(2) Because chickens exercise, rest and lay eggs on the mat grass, if the mat grass is too wet, it will lower the indoor temperature and affect the growth of chickens. Even if the henhouse is dry again, it should be replaced regularly. If chicken excrement and residual feed stay on the mat for too long, it is easy to cause pests and diseases.

3. Ventilation

Although the gate or vent should be closed, the henhouse should not be closed all winter. Generally, in warm sunny days, it is necessary to ventilate the henhouse regularly, which is conducive to improving the air quality in the henhouse and promoting the growth and development of chickens. Because the henhouse is closed for a long time, it is easy to breed a large number of germs and cause harm to chickens. Generally, when providing drinking water, pay attention to the water temperature, try to avoid feeding cold water, and keep the water temperature at 65438.
