Why do chicks have to burn their mouths when raising chickens, and why do chicks cut off their mouth

Broken beak. Prevent mutual pecking and wasting of food. You can consult the problem of raising chickens on the breeding software - Somutong.

The so-called beak cutting is to cut off the end of the chicken's mouth (beak) with a machine or knife to reduce the chicken's pecking ability. In order to prevent beak buckets, pecking hair, toe pecking, and egg pecking, reduce feed waste, and reduce mortality. The method of instigation is very simple, that is, when the chick is 8-9 years old, cut off the end of the chick's beak; A second beak amputation is performed at 14 to 16 weeks of age.

Excision of the upper beak instigation length (from to the nostrils) of 1 3, after excision makes the upper beak shorter than the lower beak. The beak of the young rooster can be kept to avoid affecting the breeding.

The tool for beak breaking, the big chicken farm can be carried out with a special beak cutting machine, and the chicken farmers can use a quick knife to burn the beak and stop for 2-3 seconds to prevent bleeding. If you cut the beak with scissors, you can use it on the section of the beak. A hot soldering iron is used to stop the bleeding.

If you can start two days before beak cutting, add 4-6 grams of vitamins per 100 kg of feed for a total of 4 days, the hemostatic effect is better. In recent years, some people use a 150-250 watt electric soldering iron to burn their beaks, which is better than cutting and cutting their beaks with a knife. The method is to use an iron sheet or a thin wooden board to dig a few small holes on it that are suitable for the size of the beak of the chicken beak, fix the iron piece on the table or chair before the beak is broken, and then insert the chicken beak into the small hole, and require the length of the beak exposed to the outside of the iron hole to meet the length to be cut.

When burning, it should be done within 3 seconds.

Cutting the mouth of the chick can effectively prevent the occurrence of evil habits such as anal pecking and feather pecking in the flock, improve the survival rate, and effectively reduce feed waste.

Chick seedlings pay attention to keep temperature, 1-3 days old for 40-35, 4-5 days old for 34-33, 6-8 days old for 33-32, 9-12 days old for 32-30, 13-20 days old for 30-28, after normal temperature.

At the beginning of the meal, a few drops were fed with potassium permanganate water, and 1 day later, mixed with a mixture of 5% glucose and vitamin C and a small amount of feed. According to the nutrition, feed requirements and feed formula, the soft texture of the feed is made.

Because it can effectively prevent the occurrence of pecking habits, prevent chicks from damaging feed, and thus improve the economic benefits of raising chickens.

In the management of chick breeding, due to various reasons, such as excessive brooding density, poor ventilation of the chicken house, improper feed matching, excessive light intensity, etc., will cause chicks to peck anus, feathers, toes and other vices. Once the evil habit occurs, it will soon spread and spread, causing disturbance and uneasiness in the flock, and the elimination rate will increase, and if effective measures are not taken in time, it will cause serious economic losses.

Therefore, once it is found that there is pecking in the flock, it is necessary to comprehensively check the feeding management and analyze the causes of pecking, so as to take countermeasures in time, such as reducing light intensity, evacuation density, and improving ventilation conditions. Practice has proved that beak cutting can effectively prevent the occurrence of pecking and prevent chicks from losing feed, thereby improving the economic benefits of raising chickens.

Notes:

Therefore, in modern chicken breeding, it is common to cut off the beak of chicks in time. The beak breaking time can be determined according to the actual situation of each chicken farm, the technical level of beak cutting and the actual situation of the chickens. It is usually performed in two phases, the first is performed around 10 days of age, and the second beak amputation is mainly to trim the first unsuccessful beak amputation or re-growth of the beak, usually at 10 to 14 weeks of age.

Beak cutting can be done with a special beak cutter or a hot scalpel, electric soldering iron, etc. When using a special beak cutter, hold the chicken in one hand and gently press the throat with the index finger to retract the tongue; Then, insert the beak of the chicken to be removed into the small hole in the beak breaker, cut it from top to bottom by a hot blade, and cauterize it for 3 seconds to stop the bleeding.

The excision site is 1 2 places from the tip of the beak to the nostril, and the lower beak is 1 3 places from the tip of the beak to the nose. Professional households who do not have a special beak cutter can use a quick knife to burn the beak and stay for 2 3 seconds to prevent bleeding; You can also use scissors to cut the beak and use a hot soldering iron to stop the bleeding.

In the process of raising egg-type chickens and broiler breeders, the mouth should be cut at the chick stage, and the role of the mouth cut:

1) Effectively prevent the occurrence of evil habits such as anal pecking and feather pecking in chickens, and improve the survival rate.

2) Effectively reduce feed waste.

The first benefit of beak cutting off is to prevent pecking. Chicken with wax has a habit, that is, like Jian Xingjing to use its beak to peck everywhere, talk everywhere, the beak is so sharp, in the collective breeding, it is inevitable that there will be fights, at this time, the beak becomes the best **. The chickens fight and their mouths are particularly ruthless, and the light ones are pecked and broken, and the heavy ones may die, so the loss of the chicken keepers is not small.

If you cut off the tip of your beak, you won't be able to peck it.

Another benefit of beak cutting is that it avoids the waste of feed.

The beak of the chicken is hook-shaped like an eagle's beak, and when eating feed, the hook is hooked back and forth, which will get a lot of feed to the outside of the feeder. By truncating the beak and making the rest straight, you can greatly avoid the waste of feed.
