Recently, my country has generally entered continuous high temperature weather. At the same time, the air humidity is high, and the pressure of heatstroke prevention and cooling has greatly increased. Once the birds suffer from heatstroke, their production performance will be reduced or even lead to death due to heat stroke. Take advantage of the emptiness and induce disease. Therefore, doing a good job of preventing heatstroke and cooling down poultry has become the key to the current large-scale poultry farm breeding management, especially environmental control. In order to further implement the safety work deployment of livestock and poultry breeding and deal with the impact of high heat and high humidity on poultry production, the Provincial Animal Husbandry Station has joined hands with the provincial poultry industry technical system and the national laying hen industry technical system post experts and the Jinan Comprehensive Test Station and the national broiler industry technical system. Jinan Comprehensive Test Station, hereby proposes this technical guidance for reference by practitioners.
1. Do a good job of observing the group status of poultry. The temperature and humidity are suitable, the birds live comfortably, and the performance is quiet and natural. If the temperature is too high, the birds will have the phenomenon of "opening their mouths" due to the need for heat dissipation. Diarrhea and loose stools caused by excessive drinking water. For egg-laying flocks, if the temperature in the house exceeds 28°C, the egg-laying performance of the birds will be significantly reduced. When these phenomena occur, it may be that the temperature obviously exceeds the adjustment ability of the poultry itself, and corresponding measures need to be taken.
2. Do a good job in the operation and debugging of environmental control facilities. Modern poultry farming is highly dependent on environmental control facilities for temperature and humidity control. Therefore, debugging in time to ensure the normal operation of the poultry farm machines, and the collection, transmission and display of temperature and humidity information remain normal. For example, due to equipment failure, the temperature display cannot correctly display the temperature, which will cause misjudgment by management and lead to production loss.
