Large-scale chicken farms will prepare automatic feeding equipment, which can realize automatic feeding and feeding machine. It can be directly fed, safe, convenient, energy-saving, no noise, and the chicken response is small. The feeding machine can realize 10,000 chickens for 40 minutes to complete the feeding, which is very convenient.

3. Ventilation and cooling equipment: As long as it is a chicken house that uses chicken cages to raise chickens, it is necessary to use fan equipment and wet curtain equipment for mechanical ventilation in the work of ventilation and cooling. According to the flow direction of the airflow in the house, it can be divided into two types: lateral ventilation and longitudinal ventilation. Lateral ventilation means that the direction of airflow in the house is perpendicular to the long axis of the house. Longitudinal ventilation refers to the way in which a large number of fans are concentrated in one place, so that the airflow in the house is parallel to the long axis of the house.
