The cost of feed in chickens accounts for 60-70% of the cost of feed and the amount of feed wasted in chicken farms is generally 2%-10% of the amount of feed. The specific conditions are as follows:
Sprinkle feed during manual feeding
This situation is more common in manual feeding farms and is often overlooked by farms and breeders. Countermeasures: Improve the keeper's awareness of the benefits, and link the consumption of materials with the salary of the keeper.
The two feeding troughs are unreasonable and chickens feed out of feed
In view of this situation, visit the relevant chicken farms to learn about them and improve them. Also note that the amount of feed in the trough must not exceed 1/3 of its height.
Three-slot damage missed feed
When the feeders add feed, they should pay attention to whether the trough is damaged and repair it timely.
The temperature of the chicken house is not suitable for the environment, which increases the feed intake of the chicken
Different growth and development stages of chickens require different suitable temperatures. If the temperature continues to be too low or too high, both the egg production rate and the feed conversion rate will decrease. Therefore, effective cold insulation measures should be taken in winter and effective summer cooling measures should be taken in order to control the most suitable temperature to increase the feed conversion rate.
Five feed nutrition is not comprehensive, compensatory increase in chicken feed intake
If nutrition is not comprehensive, it will inevitably result in an increase in feed intake to make up for the lack of a certain nutrient, thus causing feed wastage. Therefore, it is necessary to feed nutritionally balanced full-priced feeds to maximize feed conversion rates.
Six adverse stress
Unfavorable stress has a wide range of effects on chickens. On the feed side, it can cause chickens to eat only without producing or reducing production performance. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize unpleasant stimuli.
Loss in feed storage
It mainly consists of being eaten by rats and being improperly stored and becoming moldy. In this regard, the chicken farms should regularly eliminate rodents, which can save the feeds eaten by rats and prevent rats from transmitting certain diseases. For moldy deterioration of feeds, it is required to pay attention to ventilation, moisture, regular drying, or adding mildew during storage of feeds. Agent.
It is unreasonable for eight chickens to keep licking or breaking
Cutting off can effectively prevent the chicken's mouth from hooking out of the feed, reducing feed wastage, and can prevent the licking and licking. It is usually broken at 710 days and repaired once before being basketed.
Nine failed to eliminate the remaining chicken
Defective chickens eat without producing.
The ten light system is irrational
A reasonable lighting system can not only ensure the supply of nutrients, but also increase the feed conversion rate, thereby reducing feed wastage. The suitable lighting time for laying hens is 16 hours and the intensity is 3 watts per square meter.
Eleven parasites consume nutrients
The consumption of chicken body by parasites in the body and the exterior is very large, so that the feed intake of the chicken is increased, and the growth performance is less or rather decreased. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically deworm the insects and reduce the ineffective input of feed.
Twelve sand grain feeding inadequate
Supplementing sand regularly helps digestion and absorption of feed, saving feed and reducing waste. Tests have shown that the rate of digestibility can be increased by 3% to 10% compared to regular supplementation of sand grains and non-supplementation of sand grains.
