How to deal with high temperature weather for livestock and poultry breeding

Recently, high temperature weather above 35 ° C. Continuous high temperatures will have a great impact on livestock and poultry breeding, causing animal thermal stress, causing the body's resistance to decline, and then cause various diseases.

Under high temperature weather, symptoms such as slow growth and reduced feeding in livestock and poultry will even cause death in severe cases. In order to reduce the adverse effects of high -temperature weather on the production of livestock and poultry as much as possible, reminding farmers here should try to make four points as much as possible in high temperature weather breeding management:

Control environment temperature

Improve the surrounding environment of livestock and poultry houses, reduce radiation and reflex heating of the fence house. Plant forage, feed crops or trees around the poultry house, and set up vine plants, rice grasses, Baogu straws, and sunscreen nets above the fence to reduce the absorption of solar radiation heat at the top The top of the circle can also achieve better results.

Proper reducing feeding density can also reduce the heat production of animals, thereby reducing the temperature of the house and reducing the impact of stress. In addition, the animal's animals should be returned early and try to avoid the high temperature time at noon.

Strengthen breeding management

The temperature is high around noon at the high temperature season. At this time, animal feeding is reduced or even refusal to eat. Therefore, it can change the feeding time, that is, it will be fed before 8 am and 6 pm. Green green feed (such as watermelon skin, etc.).

The amount of drinking water (poultry) in the high temperature season is four times that of winter, which is about twice -3 times that of the feeding. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the livestock (poultry) should drink clean cold water in time, preferably cold wells or spring water.

Add some Chinese medicines such as hawthorn, malt, and divine songs such as hawthorn, malt, and divine songs in feed (preferably with full -price feed). A moderate amount of electrolytes (such as salt, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate) to prevent electrolytic imbalances in livestock and poultry.

Strict health disinfection measures

Livestock and poultry manure contains harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. The hotter weather, the greater the smell exuded, and the impact on livestock and poultry. Therefore, we must do a good job of cleaning and disinfection in poultry houses. Clear feces and fillers in time, and regularly clean and disinfect the fence, sinks, and tanks. Generally, it is disinfected once a week to 2 times. Pay attention to the choice of disinfectants with efficient, non-irritating, small odor, and small corrosiveness to ensure fresh air in the house.

Prevent common diseases

In addition to normal vaccination, it should focus on preventing sudden diseases such as enteritis, typhoid fever, and high fever. If livestock and poultry are found, professional veterinarians should be requested in time. In addition, add screens to the doors and windows to prevent mosquito and flies from spreading diseases, pay attention to mosquito, fly, mice, etc.
