What equipment is needed for a chicken farm

1、 Heating equipment

If the purpose of heating and insulation can be achieved, heating methods such as electric heating, water heating, coal stove, fire kang, and underground kang can be chosen. However, attention should be paid to the dirty heating of the coal stove, which is prone to gas poisoning and must be added to the chimney. When designing a house, attention should be paid to insulation and heat preservation.

2、 Ventilation equipment

Closed chicken coops must adopt mechanical ventilation, which can be divided into horizontal ventilation and vertical ventilation according to the direction of airflow inside the coop.

1. Horizontal ventilation refers to the direction of airflow in the house being perpendicular to the long axis of the chicken house, while vertical ventilation refers to the method of concentrating a large number of blowers to make the airflow in the house parallel to the long axis of the chicken house.

2. Research and practice since 1988 have proven that longitudinal ventilation has a good effect, which can eliminate and overcome the phenomenon of dead corners and uneven wind speed in the chicken coop caused by transverse ventilation, while also eliminating the drawbacks of cross infection caused by transverse ventilation.

3、 Water supply equipment

From the perspective of conserving water and preventing bacterial contamination, nipple water dispensers are the most ideal water supply equipment, and high-quality, leak proof water dispensers should be selected. The most commonly used sink for cage chickens and laying hens nowadays is the V-shaped sink, which often provides running water, but washing the sink every day requires effort. When raising chicks, a hanging tower automatic water dispenser can be used, which is both hygienic and water-saving.

4、 Feeding equipment

Mainly using feeding troughs, cage chickens use long ditches, and this supply method can also be used for flat brooding or bucket feeding. The shape of the feeding trough has a significant impact on the scattering of chicken feed. If the trough is too shallow without a protective edge, a lot of feed will be wasted.

5、 Egg collection equipment

Highly mechanized chicken farms use conveyor belts to automatically collect eggs, which is efficient but has a high rate of breakage. In October, most chicken farmers use handmade mobile phone eggs.

6、 Equipment for cleaning feces

General chicken farms use manual regular manure cleaning, while large-scale chicken farms use mechanical manure cleaning.

7、 Cage equipment

Hatching can be done using a mesh board or a three-dimensional multi-layer brooder. In addition to raising chickens on flat nets, most use overlapping or stepped breeding cages, and farmers mostly transfer them directly to egg chicken cages at 60-70 days of age. Egg laying chickens are basically kept in cages. At present, there are many manufacturers of egg chicken cages in China, and you can choose according to the actual situation. The area of the chicken coop must be guaranteed.

8、 Lighting equipment

Ordinary light bulbs are commonly used for lighting in China, and the development trend is towards energy-saving lamps. Many chicken farms install timed automatic control switches instead of manual switches to ensure accurate and reliable lighting time.

9、 Incubation equipment

Hatching equipment is a general term for the items required during the hatching process, including hatching machines, hatching machines, hatching machine parts, hatching room specific items, heating equipment, humidification equipment, various measurement systems, etc.

10、 Disinfection equipment

Agricultural spray, air pump, etc.

11、 Immunological and therapeutic equipment

Continuous syringes, needles, etc.

12、 Beak cutting device

Electric beak cutters, soldering irons, etc.

13、 Weighing equipment

Spring scale, pole scale, electronic weighing, etc.
