Ningdu Sanhuang chicken is afraid of cold, so how to keep warm when building a chicken shed?

In winter, low-temperature chickens are prone to cold stress and the poor ambient air quality caused by "heavy heat preservation and light ventilation" are two main reasons. This requires us to do a good job of heat preservation and ventilation in henhouses in winter and spring, and how to deal with these two seemingly "contradictory" problems is also one of our key tasks in winter and spring.

How to keep chickens warm in winter? Thermal insulation measures to keep chickens warm in winter, you can keep warm from the following aspects. Building houses (greenhouses): In the northern part of China, the seasonal climate difference is obvious, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. It is very important to build a henhouse that is warm in winter and cool in summer. The henhouse is dry and sunny in the shade; There is a sunlight shed in the shape of a vegetable shed outside the henhouse. This sun shed does play a particularly good buffering role between the henhouse and the outdoor. Variety: Choosing suitable varieties, such as traditional northern varieties such as Beijing and Ji You, is more suitable for the cold winter climate in the north. Chicken itself has plump and thick feathers and strong cold resistance.

Management: In the north, the temperature outside the henhouse is not above minus 10 degrees all day. When the temperature rises at noon, chickens are allowed to go out for activities, and when the temperature drops, they are still allowed to return to the warm henhouse. Heat dissipation lamp, increase lighting, ventilation and moisture-proof, and increase temperature. Artificial lighting should be added in winter, so that the overall lighting time is about 16 hours. Nutrition: Starting from diet, let them eat well, keep healthy and enhance their resistance. For example, increase energy and supplement vitamin deficiency by supplementing energy feed such as corn, sorghum, carrot, pumpkin, potato, Chinese cabbage and alfalfa powder; Adding a little pepper to food can warm the stomach and promote digestion.

Material of chicken mattress: hot air upward. Even if the room temperature shows 10℃, the temperature life of chicken butt is only 2℃ and 3℃. The outdoor temperature of chickens in winter is very low, which will also affect normal production. The chicken bed adopts padding, and through additional heat preservation measures, the chicken can keep enough temperature and comfortable temperature. Is there any way to keep the henhouse warm? In winter and spring, the required temperature of the house is quite different from the external temperature. The henhouse should have good cold resistance, and appropriate heating methods and equipment can meet the requirements of heat preservation.
