First, the feeding of broilers
1. Enclosure building
Broilers need a clean, ventilated and well-lit environment. Therefore, the structure of the pen should pay attention to the following points:
(1) pen houses should be far away from residential areas and main roads to avoid noise and odor.
(2) The enclosure floor should be flat and easy to clean.
(3) pen houses should have good ventilation facilities to keep air circulation.
(4) The pens should have sufficient lighting to ensure the normal growth of chickens.
2. Feed management
Broiler feed management is the key to broiler breeding. Feed should be kept fresh, and attention should be paid to the amount and time of feeding. Generally speaking, broiler feed mainly includes the following types:
(1) cereals: such as corn and wheat.
(2) beans: such as soybean meal and bean cake.
(3) protein: fish meal, meat and bone meal, etc.
(4) Vitamins and minerals: such as calcium and phosphorus.
3. Disease prevention
Broilers are prone to various diseases, so disease prevention is an important link in broiler breeding. Methods to prevent diseases mainly include the following points:
(1) Keep the fence clean and disinfect it regularly.
(2) Give preventive drugs to chickens regularly.
(3) Keep the feed fresh and don't use deteriorated feed.
Second, the nutrition of broilers
The nutrition of broilers mainly includes protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. Among them, protein is the key to the growth of broilers.
1. protein
Broilers need protein to support their growth and development. Protein can promote muscle growth and repair, and improve the immunity of broilers.
2. Fat
Proper amount of fat can provide energy for broilers, but too much fat will increase the weight of broilers and affect their growth and health.
3. Minerals and vitamins
Minerals and vitamins are also very important for the growth and development of broilers. Minerals can promote chicken bone growth and maintain normal metabolic function, while vitamins can improve immunity and promote chicken growth and development.
Third, the use of broilers
The uses of broilers mainly include food, medicine and scientific research.
1. Edible
Broiler is one of the important sources in people's daily diet. Its tender meat, delicious taste and rich nutrition are deeply loved by people.
2. Medicinal use
The medicinal value of broilers is also very high. The liver, heart and other organs of broilers are rich in nutrition, which can be used in pharmacy and have certain medicinal value.
3. Scientific research
Broilers are also widely used in scientific research. The growth and development process of broilers can be used to study biological problems related to growth and development, and also to study the occurrence and treatment of diseases.
