How to choose a brooding season

With the rapid development of the chicken industry and the continuous improvement of chicken raising technology, professional and large-scale mechanized commercial chicken farms throughout China have been completed and put into operation one after another. As a result of industrialized chicken breeding, chickens have been able to create necessary environmental conditions throughout the year. You can hatch broods any season. In particular, closed chicken houses are less affected by the season but in some small and medium-sized commercial chicken farms and thorns, chicken farms and specialized household chicken farms, due to the limited conditions of the equipment, they cannot fully control the environment conditions of chickens. You must also choose a suitable brooding season. Different brooding seasons, the environment in which the chicks are located is different, and their growth and survival rates are also poor. People will also have an impact on the future production of adult chickens: performance. In general, spring brooding has the best effect, followed by early summer and autumn and winter. Summer is the worst. The advantages and disadvantages of each quarter of brooding are described below.
Spring chick: refers to chicks hatched in March-May, especially chicks hatched in early spring, with the highest utilization value and production capacity. This is because:
(1) Moderate ambient temperatures, air-drying, and natural windward conditions are good. They can make full use of long days and are conducive to the health and growth of chicks.
(2) The number of green feeds increases, vitamin supply is sufficient, and feed compensation is more faint. (3) The period of production is early, generally starts in September-October of that year, which can not only meet the contradiction of shortage of supply of eggs in the warm and winter market, but also has high economic value. Compared with chickens hatched in other seasons, adult chickens have the longest period of first biological egg production, from the time of autumn production until the fall of the next year, the production of eggs ceased, and the egg production period lasted for about one year. Both eggs are heavy and big;
(4) In the medium-inch and type chicken farms, autumn is the season when old chickens are eliminated. Spring young chicks are just starting production in the autumn and they can be combined to complete the elimination of chickens at a time. Summer chicks refer to chicks hatched in June-August. Because of the high temperature and temperature in the environment, the chicks have poor appetite, poor rest, and slow growth. And there are many diseases and the survival rate is low. By the time of gestation, the weather was getting cold, there was less outdoor activity, so it was poorly developed, and productivity was low in adulthood. In China, it is difficult to raise young people in the summer in the hot southern regions of China. However, in summer, the summer is not very hot in the north, and the summer chicks are relatively easy to cultivate, but their growth and development are often not good. Autumn chicks: Refers to chicks hatched from September 11 to November. Compared with the summer chicks, the external environmental conditions gradually improved, beneficial to the development of chicks, sexual maturation earlier, but the weight of adult eggs and egg weight deduction continued egg production during the brooding period in case of continuous rain and brooding effects will also be affected.
Winter chicks: Refers to chicks hatched in December 12-month (the following year). Due to the longer duration of warming, activities in the room, lack of sunlight and adequate exercise, the growth is slow and the cost of cultivation is high. Winter chicks start production in summer, and if they are improperly reared, the moults are often discontinued in autumn. In general, under the circumstances, northern China should not hatch winter chicks, while southern China has relatively more winter chicks. The above focuses on the impact of climate conditions. When selecting the brooding season in particular, it is necessary to consider the nature, tasks and requirements of the farm, the supply of eggs, and equipment conditions. If weather conditions in a certain season are not good, but brooding must be carried out due to the needs of production tasks, measures such as adding equipment and improving feeding and management techniques can be used to overcome adverse weather conditions.
