2. The chicken's body temperature is between 40.8-4 1.5℃, so it must be raised in a well-ventilated environment, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, chicken's digestive tract is short, its metabolism is vigorous, and its growth and development are fast, so it needs to be fed with sufficient nutrition and digestible feed to meet its needs.
3, easy to be surprised. Chickens are timid, especially chicks, and are easily frightened. Light people are crowded and their growth and development are blocked, while heavy people trample on each other, resulting in disability and death. So chickens should be kept in quiet places. Rough management, sudden noise, the intrusion and capture of cats and dogs will all lead to riots and affect the growth of chickens.
Extended data:
Chickens are small, delicate, with short villi, low heat preservation ability and imperfect thermoregulation function, and they are fully developed at 3 ~ 4 weeks old. Therefore, it is the key to improve the survival rate of chickens to do a good job of cold protection and heat preservation and adjust the appropriate temperature and humidity.
The suitable temperature for chicks is 30 ~ 32℃. After that, the temperature was lowered every 5 days 1 ~ 2℃. After one month, if the outside temperature is above 20℃, it can be heated naturally, otherwise it should be kept warm.
Whether the temperature is appropriate or not, we can observe the morphological performance of chickens: for example, chickens are crowded into a pile, do not like activities and eating, and occasionally make a "cheep, cheep" cry, which is the performance of low temperature.
