Physiological characteristics of chickens in chicken cages

Only when we have a good grasp of the chicken's physiological habits can harvesting be able to respond to emergencies during the breeding process, and we can better raise chickens.

1. Egg and broiler chickens are timid and are easily frightened, so farmers should pay attention to the quietness of the chicken house. Sudden noises outside the chicken house and cats, rats and snakes in the chicken house can cause chicken flocks Stress response.

2. For chicks, they are more afraid of cold. Adult chickens are more afraid of heat. This is because the chicks that have just come out of the shell have weak heat insulation ability, and their normal body temperature is 3 degrees lower than that of adult chickens. We must do a good job of thermal insulation for brooding.

3. Farmers must have heard that light can affect the growth and performance of laying hens, because the flocks are sensitive to light.

4. Abnormal digestive function of chickens: Chickens feed by leaning on their heads. Therefore, feed and water tanks must be properly set up to prevent overflow of feed water. Digestive food is crushed by the strong contraction of the muscle and stomach, so it is necessary to add sand regularly.

5. Compared with other poultry, the amount of exhaust gas of egg and broiler chickens is large, so the ammonia in the faeces of chickens is more than that of pigs.

6. Farmers all know that the moulting period will occur when laying hens are reared to a certain stage, but farmers should pay attention to the day-old moulting of laying hens without seasonal moulting.

The above are some physiological characteristics of chickens introduced to farmers!
