What are the components of automated chicken breeding equipment

Automated chicken breeding equipment is a general term for the machinery, tools and internal facilities used in the production process of chicks, breeders, broilers and laying hens. Chicken farms can be divided into two kinds of free-range and cage-raising (see chicken). Chicken farms are divided into original breeding farms, breeding chicken farms, reserve chicken farms, layer farms and broiler farms. Automatic chicken breeding equipment includes: heating equipment, ventilation equipment, water supply equipment, feeding equipment, egg collection equipment, manure removal equipment, cages, lighting equipment, etc.

(1) Heating equipment

As long as the purpose of heating and heat preservation can be achieved, heating methods such as electric heating, water heating, coal stoves, and even ondol, ondol, etc. can be selected, but it should be noted that the heating of the coal stove is dirty and prone to gas poisoning, and a chimney must be added.

Pay attention to thermal insulation during house design.

(2) Ventilation equipment

Airtight chicken houses must be mechanically ventilated. According to the direction of airflow in the house, they can be divided into horizontal ventilation and vertical ventilation. Horizontal ventilation refers to the direction of the airflow in the house perpendicular to the long axis of the house, and vertical ventilation refers to the ventilation method of collecting a large number of fans in one place so that the airflow in the house is parallel to the long axis of the house. 1988 Research and practice in the past years have proved that the longitudinal ventilation effect is better, which can eliminate and overcome the phenomenon of small and uneven ventilation dead angle and wind speed in the house during horizontal ventilation, and at the same time eliminate the disadvantages of cross-infection caused by cross ventilation between houses .

(3) Water supply equipment

From the perspective of saving water and preventing bacterial pollution, the drinking fountain is a better water supply equipment, and it is necessary to choose a good drinking fountain. At present, V-shaped water tanks are commonly used for raising chickens and laying hens in cages. Water is often supplied by running water, but it takes time to clean the water tank every day. When raising broods in a flat manner, a pendant-type automatic drinking fountain can be used, which is both hygienic and water-saving.
