Chickens drink, eat, break
First, drinking water
After hatching, the chicks should be given drinking water as soon as possible after identification of the male and female, inoculation of Marek vaccines, and long-term transportation. After drinking water first, it is beneficial to promote intestinal peristalsis, absorb residual yolk, excrete feces, and increase appetite and feed digestion and absorption. For the first time, the chicks drink water for the first drink. The specific operation is as follows: 1 The time of first drinking. Chicks are within 1 hour of entering home. 2 drinking water temperature. 18-20 °C warm water, should not drink cold water. 3 drinking water preparation. The glucose concentration is 5%, electrolysis multidimensional according to instructions; hydrochloric acid (or lactic acid) Norfloxacin 1 gram water 10 kg. 4 drinking water tuning. Hold the chick gently, hold the palm of your hand against the back of the chicken, gently press the neck with your thumb and middle finger, press the index finger gently on the head, press the ankle into the water dish, taking care not to let the water out and the nostrils, and then quickly let the chicken head lift up. Will swallow the water into the mouth. By doing this 2-3 times, the chicks knew they had water. After a few chicks in a cage drink water, the rest will quickly learn to drink water. 5 drinking fountains placed. Drinking fountains are distributed evenly and are of a moderate height, and they should be placed in bright places and interleaved with trays. Drinking fountains should be cleaned 1-2 times a day and disinfected, changing water 3-4 times a day.
Second, feeding
The first feeding of chicks is called "opening food". The specific operation is as follows: 1 Feeding time. Drink 2-3 hours after the start of eating. Generally, it is advisable to start eating 24-36 hours after hatching. Eat too early to absorb the unfavorable yolk, but eating more than 48 hours will affect the chick's weight gain. 2 eat feed. The starter diet uses fresh millet, corn or crushed granules and must not be used with fine powder. The next day, the whole price of the feed was changed, either as a granular material or as a powder mixture with a feed to water ratio of 5:1. Fresh feed, moderate grain size, easy to feed and nutritious, easy to digest, helps to excrete meconium. 3 open food methods. Use light and flat trays, plastic sheets, newspapers, etc., in bright places, and repeatedly throw the material several times to induce chicks to feed. Only a few chickens in the flock began to feed, and the rest of the chicks quickly followed the food intake. The number of trays should be sufficient, and plastic sheets and newspapers should be large enough so that all chicks can feed at the same time. And check the chicken's crop, whether it is open and full or not. 4 feeding times. In the first few days, feed once every 3 hours and feed 8 times every day and night. With the increase of the chick's age and the shortening of the illumination time, it is gradually reduced to 6-7 times a day. After 3 weeks, feed 4 times a day. When feeding, add less frequently to ensure that the feed is fresh, so as to stimulate the appetite of the chicks, and to prevent chickens from eating foods and chickens to contaminate the feed and reduce feed wastage. 5 chute, barrel replacement. After 5 days of age, food troughs or barrels should be added and gradually transitioned. After the chicks are used in the trough, remove the tray or plastic sheet. The young hatchery is used before 3 weeks of age and then replaced with a medium chute. The height of the trough should be adjusted according to the height of the back of the chicken to facilitate the feeding of chickens and reduce feed wastage. See table 1 and table 2 for the feed amount of 6 chicks.
Third, cut off
In order to effectively prevent the loss of feed during the foraging of chickens, as well as the occurrence of embarrassment such as feathers, toes, and anal fistulas, it is necessary to shorten the crotch of the chickens, ie, to perform a "broken eyelid surgery."
1. Break time: 1 The first break was performed at 7-10 days of age. 2Because some chickens are always improperly cut off during the first break, some of the weaker chicks should not be cut off. Therefore, the two chickens need to be supplemented by another cut, that is, the second break is generally 8-12 weeks old.
2. Method of cutting off: 1 Baoding chicken. The surgeon holds the chicken in one hand, the thumb is placed at the back of the chicken's head, the index finger is placed under the pharynx, and the remaining three fingers are placed under the chest. While the gizzard enters the device, the thumb presses its head forward gently, and the index finger gently presses back against the pharynx, causing the chicken's tongue to recede naturally. If the chicken is older, use the other hand to hold the chicken wings or legs. 2 Defective requirements. The size of the eye of the switch should be 2 mm between the burning ring and the nostrils. When the electric blade cuts the upper edge 1/2 and the lower edge 1/3, the incision in the crotch is kept close to the side of the blade, and the blade is cauterized for 2-3 seconds.
3. Note: 1 chicks should not be interrupted before or after the two days of immunization or when the chickens are in poor health. 2 Add 2-3 mg of vitamin K and 150 mg of vitamin C per kilogram of feed before and after 3 days of cutting. 3 The surgeon should accurately cut the anterior part of the orbital margin from the anterior edge of the nostril of the chick to the 1/2 of the superior edge of the zygomatic ridge and the 1/3 of the inferior edge. 4 The temperature of the cutting blade is 600-800°C. At this time, the appearance of the blade is dark red to red, ie cherry red, but it does not shine. If it is bright, the temperature is too high. 5 The speed of demolition workers is fast, and it is advisable to use about 15 chickens per minute. 6 During the breaking process, care should be taken to maintain the cutting device. After cutting 600 chickens, the blade is detached, and the blade is ground with fine sandpaper to remove the oxide rust that is generated by the firing. 7 Provide sufficient drinking water and feed within 3 days after the break. Observe that the chicks drink water. The feed in the feed trough should be sufficient to facilitate the chicks to feed and avoid bleeding from the incision due to collision of the surgical part with the bottom of the trough.
