& nbsp;     Raising chickens is not an easy task, but many people think it's simple. Peers have different interests. Some people make a fortune by raising chickens, while others end up losing everything. What is the reason?

  & nbsp;     In my opinion, an important difference is the management of animal husbandry. The same chicken can be raised by different people, resulting in vastly different outcomes. People who can raise chickens have a low elimination rate, good neatness, fast growth rate, high egg production rate, good egg quality, rarely get sick, and rarely take medication. People who don't know how to take care of themselves either have this kind of problem or that kind of problem. They are restless all day long, with medicine bottles and cans piled up like mountains, and veterinarians stepping through the threshold.

  & nbsp;     I have been engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of chicken diseases for more than ten years, and have encountered various problems. Apart from some uncontrollable factors such as weather changes and widespread disease outbreaks, many of them can be avoided and many should not occur. But it was because the chicken farmers did not pay attention to management details that problems arose, resulting in losses. Here are a few examples:

  1、 Regarding drinking water:

  & nbsp; 1、 It will have an impact on the use of vaccines for drinking water. When using vaccines for drinking water, special attention should be paid to avoiding tap water or other methods such as eye drops and injections.

  & nbsp; 2、 When the number of chickens is too large and the water line is too long, the nipple water dispenser will often experience blockage, leakage, and other phenomena. There will be a lot of sediment and dirt in the large water bucket, water distribution tank, and water line. So, it is necessary to regularly check the nipple water dispenser and repair it in a timely manner if it is broken. Regularly rinse and clean the dirt in the water line, maintain smooth drinking water, and keep it clean.

  & nbsp; 3、 There are a large number of chickens and a particularly high amount of drinking water. If there is a shortage of water supply, there should be sufficient backup water. Do not use heavily polluted river water or dirty water. Otherwise, it may lead to various diseases such as enteritis and diarrhea in the chicken flock, unnecessarily increasing the cost of medication.

  & nbsp; 2、 About Feed

  & nbsp; 1、 Fungal toxins have become a hazard in the current aquaculture industry, so when purchasing feed materials, it is necessary to carefully check the quality of the raw materials. If there are problems, they must be avoided, and moldy feed must not be ingested.

  & nbsp; 2、 When feeding chickens, the feed in the trough must be eaten thoroughly before adding, and any remaining feed must be eaten thoroughly before adding. Do not add it in layers. If the feed residue at the bottom of the feeding trough remains for too long, it will mold and spoil, especially in summer. If the nipple water dispenser leaks again, it will accelerate the deterioration of the feed, and the consequences are very serious.

  & nbsp; 3、 Do not casually add various vitamins and nutritional supplements. It should be noted that the nutritional requirements of chickens are different at each stage. Blindly adding them can waste money or increase the physiological burden on chickens. Some chicken farmers disagree with this viewpoint, thinking that the better the chicken is fed, the better the chicken will grow, but the result is the opposite.

  & nbsp; 3、 Regarding Temperature

  & nbsp; Some chicken farmers like to raise chicks at high temperatures. Before the chicks enter the house, the temperature is increased to 36 or 67 degrees Celsius, but the chicks do not add water in time after entering the house, resulting in dehydration and death. Having a poor start. And the later surviving chicken flocks are also difficult to raise, with decreased resistance and uneven size.

  & nbsp;   4、 About Density

  & nbsp; There was a farmer who, driven by immediate benefits, insisted on raising 2500 chickens in a place where they could only raise 2000. As a result, the density of the chicken flock was too high, the development was uneven, the body size was too small, and they were placed in the cage too late. During the early stages of egg production, a serious new hen disease occurred, causing dozens of chickens to be paralyzed and more than twenty to die every day. These chickens were all unable to lay eggs and suffered heavy losses, with no tears left to cry.

  & nbsp;   5、 In addition to these, there are also cases of severe coccidiosis and glandular gastritis caused by excessive humidity, anal pecking and feather pecking caused by strong light exposure, hypoxia, ascites or serious respiratory diseases caused by poor ventilation, and egg weight and egg production rate decreased due to the use of cheap fake soybean meal. Swelling and crooked neck caused by injecting oil into the neck. Due to fumigation and disinfection, the formaldehyde gas was not completely released and rushed into the chicks, causing poisoning. What is heartbreaking is that the lack of timely vaccination has resulted in serious influenza disease.

  & nbsp;     These things may seem trivial and seem like a joke, but they are all real events that happened around me, causing them great losses and affecting their breeding efficiency. While lamenting the increasing difficulty and prevalence of diseases in the aquaculture industry, I also feel sorry for those who have lost everything due to small gains and do not know how to make progress.

  & nbsp;     However, people who raise chickens well always do well because they have their own unique insights and pay great attention to the details of management.

  & nbsp;     There is a grandson named Diedie in Baoying County, Yangzhou. He is nearly seventy years old and has been raising 4500 chickens for decades. He has never lost money and has saved hundreds of thousands of yuan in savings. Every batch of chickens he can raise are very tall, with a high egg production rate, heavy egg weight, and long peak periods. Good eggs can reach one, two, four, five, or five yuan. Others say that sea blue chickens are small and light in weight, but he can raise old chickens weighing four, two, and three pounds. There was a young man named Xiao Bian who was initially dissatisfied, saying that the breed of chicken was incorrect. This time, he collaborated with Sun Diedie and raised a batch together. Under Sun Diedie's guidance, the chickens grew quickly and evenly, and Xiao Bian was convinced. Sun Diedie has a secret: during the growth stage of the chicken flock, add 14% bran and strive to increase the feed intake of the chickens. The weight of the chickens can easily reach the standard before the start of the season.

  & nbsp;   So, don't lament that chickens are difficult to raise, don't complain about not being able to make money. The real reason is that you don't understand how to raise chickens, don't know how to raise and manage them, ignore many details, bring things that shouldn't have happened into your life, make ridiculous diseases a norm, take medication indiscriminately, and unnecessarily increase costs. How can you remain unbeaten?
