The chicken industry is developing rapidly and is beginning to scale. The degree of intensification and industrialization is constantly improving, and the impact of the microclimate environment of chickenpoultry farming equipmenthouses on the health and production performance of chickens is increasing. Therefore, the environmental control technology for large-scale chicken breeding should constantly keep up with the needs of modern chicken production, timely adjust the goals and strategies of chicken environment control, and continuously research and develop and apply new chicken house environmental control technology and equipment for modern cultivation. Good support for the healthy and safeproduction of the chicken industry
The performance of chickens is greatly affected by light. Light can stimulate the pituitary gland to release gonadotropin, which promotes the maturation of follicles and ovulates under the action of luteinizing hormone. Reasonable regulation of the light environment can break the characteristics of seasonal production of laying hens and achieve balanced production throughout the year. Except for the 8-hour short-day illumination control during the laying period, most of the rest of the laying period was 16 hours of light, while the broiler used a 23-hour light system. The application of this lighting system can maintain the high production performance of chickens.
The factors affecting the modern chicken production by the air environment include: air temperature, air humidity, air composition, large wind turbines and vertical ventilation technology, which can ensure the effective supply of a large amount of fresh air required for high-density chickens, and save The ventilation energy consumption of the house is 40%~70%, which can eliminate the dead angle of ventilation and achieve the purpose of effectively eliminating the dirty gas, dehumidification and cooling.
Water plays a very important role in the digestion and metabolism of chickens. Water is not only a necessary solvent for nutrient absorption, rotation and metabolic waste excretion, but also a medium for chemical reactions in metabolic processes. Water is directly involved in many chemical reactions. Water has the characteristics of large heat capacity and high heat of vaporization, so it is important to keep the body temperature constant. Water can also act as a lubricating fluid to keep the joint surface of the bones smooth and free to move. Insufficient drinking water, the digestion and absorption of the feed is poor, the blood is thick, the body temperature rises, and growth and egg production are affected. If the chicken lacks 10% of water, it can cause death. Water directly affects the growth rate of chickens, especially broilers.
