After the impact of continuous high temperature in summer, the appetite of poultry is reduced, the digestion ability is poor, the growth and development of meat poultry are slow, and the egg production rate of laying poultry decreases. After entering autumn, it is the golden season for breeding. At this time, we should strengthen the feeding and management of poultry, restore its production capacity as soon as possible, and improve production efficiency. Here, the feeding and management experience of poultry in autumn is summarized as follows, hoping to bring you some help.
1. Temperature management in autumn. For young poultry, do not take off the temperature too early. The maximum temperature during the day is 30 degrees, and the minimum temperature is 10 degrees at night, with a large temperature difference. Therefore, when the chicks are kept warm, the fire can be suppressed during the day, and the heat preservation furnace can be turned on at night to raise the temperature. Especially in the second half of the night and in the morning when the temperature is low, it must be well controlled.
Do not take off the temperature before 20 days to prevent low temperature or excessive temperature difference from causing pullorum disease and respiratory diseases. The temperature of medium and large poultry at night should not be lower than 15 degrees. If the temperature is low, not only will it be easy to catch a cold and cause respiratory diseases, but the body will use its own energy to keep warm, thereby increasing the feed-to-meat ratio or feed-to-egg ratio.
2. Ventilation management. In principle, increase the ventilation when the temperature is high at noon, and moderately ventilate in the morning and evening. Effective ventilation must be carried out under the premise of ensuring the temperature. As the saying goes, "ventilation without temperature is hooliganism." Use half-cut windows for ventilation in the morning and evening. The so-called half-window ventilation means that the lower half is covered or blocked, and the upper half is ventilated so that the natural wind from the outside enters the chicken house through the top of the window. In this way, the cool wind will not directly blow on the chicken, and the poultry will not easily catch a cold.
3. Humidity management. In autumn, the weather is relatively dry, the humidity is relatively low, the dust in the poultry house is relatively large, and there are many fluffs, which can easily cause poultry dry cough, tracheal hemorrhage, and respiratory diseases. Therefore, in order to increase the humidity in the house in autumn, you can increase the humidity in the house by spraying humidification in the house, sprinkling water in the aisle, and adding water to the iron basin above the stove to evaporate, so as to reduce the phenomenon of dust and fluff floating in the poultry house and reduce the burden on the respiratory mucosa. Reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases.
Fourth, litter management. For free-range and ground poultry, litter management should be done well. Although the weather in autumn is relatively dry, there is a lot of rain this year. It is required that the litter should not be wet, and the wet litter should be removed or replaced in time. Wet litter will cause the abdomen of poultry to catch cold, which is easy to cause enteritis, coccidiosis and fungal diseases, and it is not easy to treat, and it is easy to recur after being cured. This leads to poor poultry uniformity, big ones and small ones, lower egg production rate of laying poultry, and higher feed-to-meat ratio of meat and poultry.
For free-range and peaceful poultry, in terms of putting the playground. The grazing time should also be postponed, and the playground should not be released too early, and the playground should be released after there is no dew in the playground and the temperature rises. When the sports field is released, it is strictly forbidden to have stagnant water in the sports field.
5. Diseases that are prone to occur in autumn. For fowlpox, the temperature difference in autumn is large, the outside temperature is relatively low, and the temperature inside the house is relatively high and warm. Mosquitoes and flies like to live in the poultry house, so fowlpox disease occurs more frequently in autumn. There is no good treatment for fowl pox disease, only vaccine protection and good mosquito repellent work can be relied on. In terms of management, it is necessary to remove weeds around the poultry house and in the sports field, and at the same time do a good job of killing mosquitoes and flies. Mosquitoes are also easy to breed in places with ditches. Once fowl pox occurs, there is no good treatment method, only to be picked out and raised separately, and if it is serious, it must be vaccinated urgently to control it.
Due to the large temperature difference and dry weather in autumn, respiratory diseases and mycoplasma synovial bursa are also more common. Mycoplasma synovial bursa mostly occurs in poultry after 20 days, and poultry is more prone to respiratory diseases, high density, and wet bedding . For the treatment of mycoplasma synovial bursa, the gold prescription for synovial bursa is recommended to everyone. Pure Chinese medicine, no drug residue, good palatability, fast absorption in drinking water, can be cured in 4-6 days, and is not easy to relapse.
Entering autumn, although the weather is gradually getting cooler, the temperature outside the house is still high, and occasionally high temperature and sweltering weather will appear, so the heatstroke prevention and cooling work should not be taken lightly. In autumn, even in rainy weather, do not close all the windows. Some farmers are afraid that rainwater will enter the poultry house and make the litter wet, so they close all the windows. At this time, poultry are most likely to suffocate.
