The technique of raising chickens in our gardens is highly effective

The model of raising chickens in our gardens is developing strongly in many localities in the country, the model has initially brought high efficiency for many households.

Our chicken farming is not difficult to raise, but to succeed in raising chickens, it brings optimum economic efficiency, which requires farmers to learn technical skills, regularly refer to media reports, and experience of previous people. practical for household husbandry.

In order to help our chicken farming farmers achieve efficiency, we would like to introduce some important steps in our chicken farming techniques to invite you to consult.

1. Prepare preparation conditions

1. Before bringing our chickens back, we need to prepare all technical and material conditions such as:
2. Cages, blinds, crank covers, heating shots, feeding troughs, drinking troughs. All must be disinfected before using 5-7 days.
3. Prepare adequate food and veterinary drugs necessary for chickens.
4. Stables ensure cool summer, warm in winter.
5. The floor design is technically correct, well-drained, drained.
6. Pigment fillers: Rice husks, clean chips, 5cm -10 cm thick are sprayed with antiseptic when used.
7. Ensure air circulation in the barn.

It is not difficult to raise chickens.

Prepare the barn

Choose a cool, high ground area to keep the chicken coop. Stables should be kept in the east or southeast to catch the bright sun and avoid the afternoon sun.

1. If completely caged, pay attention to appropriate stocking density (8 heads / m ² if raising broilers on the floor, 10 heads / m2 if raising broilers on the ground).
2. If raising chickens in gardens, stables are the place to avoid rain and sun and sleep at night, the density of gardening stocking chickens is at least 1 / m2.
3. The front of the barn door is southeast. Floor made of mesh or thin bamboo 0.5 m above the ground for ventilation, dryness, easy cleaning.
4. Barrier around garden with B40 grid, nylon net, bamboo wood . depending on the farming conditions of each household. In the daytime, the chickens will be put on the yard, the garden will play, and the chickens will go to the night.

Prepare chicks with chicks

1. Size 2m x 1m high, 0.5m, enough to feed 100 chickens.
2. Heating chicken with lights (two 75 W balls used for 100 chickens).

Prepare a feeding trough

1. When chickens are small (1-3 days old), spread sheets of bran on paper lined in chicken feeding cages.
2. When chickens 4-14 days old, feed chickens with chicks for chicks.
3. Over 15 days for chickens to eat hanging troughs.

Prepare drinking trough

1. Place or hang alternately with drinking troughs in the garden trough. Change clean water for chickens 2-3 times / day.

Prepare sand bath, sand gravel trough for chickens

1. Chicken loves sand bathing.
2. For grazing chickens, it is necessary to build sand tanks, kitchen ash and point of life for chickens. The size of the tank is 2m long, 1m wide, 0.3m high for 40 chickens.
3. Place some small sand, gravel or stone troughs around the grazing area to feed the chickens, helping the chicken digest better food.

Prepare to set up the beans for chickens

1. Behavioral chickens like to sleep in the sky at night to avoid enemies and keep their feet moist, avoiding infection. Therefore, it is necessary to create some beans for chickens to sleep in the cage.
2. Bean stalks made of bamboo and wood (should not be made of round trees because of the smoothness of chickens). Staging is about 0.5m from the floor, 0.3-0.4m apart, so that the chickens will not touch each other, pecking and defecating on each other.
3. Make a nest for chickens to stay in the dark. One drive lays for 5-10 hens.
4. Grazing garden: 1m 2/1 chicken.

If raising meat, choose Golden Chicken breed, Dong Tao chicken .

2. Choose our chicken garden

1. Raising chickens in the direction of getting meat: Choose Golden chicken breeds, Dong Tao chicken, Noi chicken, Tam Hoang chicken, Luong Phuong chicken, Ho chicken chicken, chicken hybrid .
2. Raising chickens in the direction of getting commercial eggs: Choose more breeds of chickens such as Tau Vang chicken, Tam Hoang chicken, BT1 chicken, Ri chicken, .

* Choose breeding chicks:

1. Select the chicks as evenly as possible in weight.
2. Choose fast, bright eyes, fluffy fur, neat belly, fat legs.
3. Avoid choosing dry-legged chickens, crooked beaks, clubfoot, umbilical cord, sagging, hairy, sagging holes, dark circles around the navel.

* Choose breeding hens:

1. Selecting children with a weight not too low, not too fat, at 20 weeks of age reaches 1.6-1.7 kg is very good.
2. Small head, short beak, big, bright red.
3. Bright, smooth eyes close to the body, and the belly grows softly.
4. Wide anus pink and fresh.
5. The distance between the pelvis and sternum is about 3-4 fingers wide, between two pelvic bones nearly 2-3 fingers folded.

3. Foster care techniques

1. It is advisable to transport chickens in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid stormy days or tropical depressions. Bring chickens to the coop, feed the chicken with Electrotyle or Vitamine C, just let the chicken eat the cooking plate or the plate, corn soaked soaked after the chicken hatches for at least 12 hours, continue to feed like that for 2 days. On the 3rd day, mix with increasing amount of industrial food or mix the waste by yourself.
2. Mix the coccidiosis into chicken feed from day 7 onwards, use Rigecoccin 1 gr / 10 kg of feed (or mix Sulfamid at the rate of 5%). Replace the paper with the bottom of the cage and clean each day.
3. Wash feeding troughs, clean drinking troughs, observe the eating and drinking status of chickens, if you find any sad, depressed children need to immediately isolate them to monitor.
4. Use a 75W light bulb for 1m2 of shelters to keep heat, depending on the weather, increase or decrease heat by raising or lowering the height of the light bulb.
5. Observe that if chickens are gathered around the light bulb, the chicken is cold, away from the light bulb is hot, lying in the corner of the cage is drained by the wind and the chickens are free to eat and drink. chickens during the recess period to prevent rats and cats and let chickens eat more food.
6. Regularly observe the expression of chickens to handle abnormalities. When the weather changes, feed the chicken with Electrolyte or Vitamine C.
7. Because of the behavior of chickens, we often drink water at the same time we eat, we should put feeding troughs and drinking troughs side by side so that chickens can drink enough water without drinking dirty water in the garden.
8. If it is a meat chicken, there is no need to cut the mine. For laying hens to reduce overlapping biting, cut the beak (only cut the horn of the beak) on week 6-7.

Note: Do not raise many chickens in one cage, before raising the new batch, it is necessary to disinfect all breeding facilities and tools.

4. Food for chicken

1. Garden chicken is one of the sensitive animals, so absolutely do not give chicken food rancid, fungal infection, rotten.
2. Can use industrial food or take advantage of agricultural waste products, so as to ensure components: Energy, protein, mineral and vitamin. Controlling the amount of food and ensuring the quality of feed for the chicks so that the chicken does not get fat reduces egg production.
3. For garden chickens, the mineral and vitamin problems are not as important as those of captive chickens, because they will search for their own needs.
4. After the boil stage, you can feed the chickens more green vegetables. Cultivating earthworms and maggots is a good source of protein for chickens.
5. The first day only gives the chicken water to drink, eat a plate or corn finely. Each time a little food is spread, the food is always delicious to stimulate the appetite of the chicken.
6. The next few days, the chicken was gradually fed to industrial food. Feed the chickens many meals a day, eat freely.
7. If hanging troughs are used for chickens to regularly monitor the height of the trough so that chickens can eat freely and avoid spillage of food.
8. Drinking water must be clean and adequate for chickens to drink, chickens live longer if they lack food than water.

Stables and gardens must be always dry, clean and free from standing water in the garden.

5. Hygiene prevention

1. Preventive hygiene is a major issue, ensuring "clean, clean, clean drinking". So cages and gardens must always be dry, clean and free of stagnant ponds in the garden.
2. Strictly apply vaccine schedule according to the locality. In addition, to use antibiotics to prevent some bacterial diseases, especially for chickens that drop in the background, it is necessary to prevent coccidiosis when laying down on the ground and gardening.

The causes of the disease

Chickens are young, chickens are weak, chickens feel sick.

Living environment:

1. Unbalanced nutrition makes it easier for animals to get sick.
2. Drinking water is not clean.
3. Air, temperature not suitable .

Resistance of chicken body

1. Each animal has a mechanical barrier to protect itself.
2. Human resistance by injecting preventive vaccines (active resistance).

Measures to prevent disease

* Hygiene prevention:

1. Good food.
2. Clean water.
3. Breeds are able to withstand high disease.
4. Clean cages.
5. Around the barn must be luminescent.
6. Good implementation of veterinary procedures for disease prevention.

* Room with Vaccine:

1. Note when using preventive vaccines:
2. Use only when the poultry is strong.
3. Shake the vaccine well before and during use.
4. Vaccine opens only for use during the day, the balance must be canceled.
5. Use vitamins to increase fostering for chickens.

* Room with medicine:

1. Diseases in the gastrointestinal tract: Oxyteracilin, chloramphenicol .
2. Respiratory diseases: Tylosin, Tiamulin, .
3. Do not use a continuous antibiotic in the course. Every 3-4 days of prevention is enough.

Prevention

1. During the layer of chickens, only antibiotics are used when chickens are sick. After 6 months of giving birth, preventing cholera, pasteurellosis, Gumboro for laying females.
