First, pay attention to the temperature of drinking water with the open-fed chickens, the general water supply, feeding materials are in the playground, and the drinking utensils of the households are also more outdoors. When the summer temperatures are high, the water cooler should be placed in a cool place. The temperature of the water should be slightly lower than the temperature, and avoid sun exposure. According to the habits of chickens, they do not like to drink warm water, compared to the lower temperature water does not refuse to drink. Cold winter weather, low temperatures, best to give chickens warm water, warm water chickens love to drink, but also can reduce the loss of body heat, enhance cold resistance, the health of chickens and egg production are favorable. Feedwater temperature must not be less than 5 °C, preferably 15 °C.
Second, drinking water must be clean and sanitation, water contaminated with bacteria or pesticides cannot be used. There is a standard for drinking water in chickens. Chickens can also be consumed by drinking water. Factors affecting water quality include: water sources, reservoirs or water appliances, sinks or drinking utensils, and chickens with bacteria. Therefore, it is necessary to disinfect the water appliances on a regular basis. If you use trough water, you should scrub daily, this is a simple and difficult to do things; the third floor of the sink is relatively high, not easy to scrub, should pay special attention.
Third, the timely supply of drinking chickens There are three peak drinking water every day, that is, every morning at 8 o'clock, 12 noon, around 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The drinking time of the chicken is mostly in the light time. Around 8 am, the chickens began to receive light; at around 12 o’clock noon, it was the peak time for chickens to lay eggs. After the hens laid eggs, the body consumed more water and felt very thirsty to drink water; around 6 pm, the light The time is coming to an end, ready to enter the evening to rest, and the chicken should drink enough water to spare at night. If egg-laying hens do not drink water or drink enough water during these three peak periods, the egg production and health of the chicken will be quickly demonstrated.
Fourth, the right amount of water supply Usually, the daily water requirement and feed water ratio of each chicken, spring, autumn is about 200 ml, feed water ratio 1:18; summer is 270 ~ 280 ml, feed water ratio 1:3 In winter, it is 100 to 110 ml, and the ratio of feed to water is 1:0.9. The amount of water supply should be adjusted according to the season. When feeding chickens with dry feed, the amount of drinking water is 2 times the feed intake; feeding chickens with wet feed may have less water supply. When the egg production rate increases, the water requirement also increases. This is because at this time the chicken has a strong egg production and the metabolism is strengthened. Not only does the formation of the egg require water, but as the food intake of the chicken increases, the water requirement also gradually increases.
5. If the height of the keeper is not high enough for the constant water and the non-running water, stepping on the first floor cage or the chute to wipe the third floor sink will cause the sink slope to change, making the sink some water depth, and some sections of shallow water. Even running water. Therefore, adjusting the sink slope is one of the regular tasks of the breeder. The depth of the water in the sink should be 1.5 cm or more. Below 0.5 cm, the chicken will have difficulty drinking water and will not drink enough water. When using a nipple drinker, always check the water quality, the pressure in the water tank, whether the nipple is blocked or the water supply is not closed or the water flow is not often closed. Some chicken farmers have blocked the outlet at the end of the sink and added several times a day. This type of water supply can easily result in insufficient water and water consumption, which is also a factor that affects the production of eggs.
VI. Dealing with soaked feed sinks Running water or leaking water is inevitable in the production of chickens. Can be divided into several situations: 1 individual feed in the trough is soaked in water, when the amount is not large, it can be mixed with the nearby dry material; 2 the quantity of wetted feed is not bad but can be removed after mixing with the dry material Feed on the feed line; 3 on rancid, moldy feed, should be immediately removed, and treat the contaminated feeder section with anti-mildew treatment. The first two methods of treatment are not to waste feed, and the second is to make the feed with more water content dispersed as much as possible so that more chickens can share it so as not to affect the food intake of dry matter.
Seventh, there should be a record of water supply The amount of water consumed by chickens can be used as a basis for observing chickens for potential disease or poisoning, in addition to the temperature. At the onset of the disease, the chicken first showed reduced drinking water, decreased appetite, and a change in egg production before symptoms occurred; some acute cases did not see symptoms at all. The opposite of chicken poisoning is the sudden increase in drinking water. There must be a certain number of chickens, such as this group of chickens drinking a few buckets of water a day, how much material to eat, how much eggs to produce, there should be a spectrum of hearts.
