The methods of high-quality broiler raising usually include four types: ground flat raising, online flat raising, cage raising and grazing raising.

Online support

It is suitable for raising high-quality broilers over 5 weeks old. It is cultivated in the brooding house before 5 weeks of age, and transferred to the online breeding after 5 weeks of age, which is conducive to making full use of brooding equipment and accelerating the later development of broiler chickens.

The equipment for online flat raising is to cover all the feeding areas in the chicken house with a metal mesh or elastic plastic square mesh that is high from the ground. The chicken manure falls into the net, which reduces the repeated infection of digestive tract diseases, especially for the control of coccidiosis. The incidence of thoracic cysts can be significantly reduced with elastic plastic mesh support.

The disadvantage of online flat raising is the high cost of equipment

Broiler floor raising system: ground level support

The requirements for the chicken house are lower: lay 5-10cm thick bedding on the ground inside the house, and clean and replace it regularly; or use 15cm thick bedding and replace it once in a feeding cycle. The best floor of the flat chicken house is a concrete structure;

In areas where the soil is dry, porous, sandy soil, soil can also be used as a chicken coop floor. The advantages of ground level support are simple equipment, low cost, and low incidence of chest cysts and leg diseases.

The disadvantage is that it requires a lot of litter, covers a lot of floor space, the used litter is difficult to handle, it often becomes a source of infection, and it is prone to pullorum and coccidiosis.

Automatic battery cage broilers

The preferred breeding method for large-scale farmers. In recent years, it has become more and more widely used. There are many specifications of chicken cages, which can be roughly divided into two types: H type cage equipment and A type, with 3 and 4 layers. Some chicken farmers use homemade chicken coops. Compared with flat broiler raising, the feeding amount per unit area can be increased by about 1 times, which effectively improves the utilization rate of the chicken house; the chickens move in the cage, the phenomenon of competition for food is reduced, the development is neat, and the weight gain is good, which can improve the feed efficiency 5 % to 10%, reducing the total cost by 3% to 7%; the chicken body does not come into contact with the feces, which can effectively control the spread of pullorum and coccidiosis;

No need for litter, reduce the cost of litter and reduce dust in the house;

It is convenient to catch chickens and clean the chicken house when transferring groups and slaughtering. In the past, the main disadvantage of broiler cages was the high incidence of breast cysts and leg diseases. In recent years, the use of elastic plastic meshes instead of metal bottom meshes has greatly reduced the occurrence of breast cysts and leg diseases.

Grazing

Households or small-scale farmers can choose. After 6 weeks of age, grazing can also be adopted, that is, the chickens are allowed to move, forage, and artificially feed in the natural environment, and the chickens return to the chicken coop at night to perch.

This method is generally to build the chicken house in the hills or orchards far away from the village. It is beneficial to the growth and development of high-quality broilers raising, the chickens are lively and healthy, the meat quality is particularly good, the appearance is compact, the feathers are shiny, and the pecking addiction is not easy to occur.
