Raising chickens to prevent heatstroke in summer

Release time:

Jun 21,2019


When the temperature of the chicken house is too high and the ventilation is not good, the chickens are prone to heatstroke. The sick chickens are highly depressed, on hunger strike, with a large increase in water intake, breathing difficulties, panting with open mouth, and unstable gait. In severe cases, the chickens will die in large numbers.

Prevention and control measures: In summer, sufficient and clean water should be provided for chickens. Vitamin C and vitamin K can be added in the water, or ice cubes can be added to assist cooling. 1% Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder can also be added to the feed. The diet should be fed at 6: 00 a.m., 6: 00 p.m. and 10: 00 p.m. as far as possible, I .e. when it is cool to promote feeding. Cover the chicken coop with straw and sprinkle with cold water, build a pergola or shade net for the chicken coop, and plant grass and trees around the chicken coop can reduce the temperature of the chicken coop. After 12 noon every day, cool well water is sprayed in the chicken coop, but the doors and windows must be opened at the same time to maintain air circulation, and exhaust fans can also be installed to speed up the discharge of hot air.

If the chicken is found to have heatstroke, the chicken should be immediately transferred to a cool and ventilated place or soaked in cold water for a while. At the same time, needles should be inserted into the comb and wing of the chicken to bleed, and 2 ml of Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid should be fed to the chicken.
