In the past two days, the temperature in Suqian City has been rising, even reaching 367 degrees, which not only makes the citizens hot and unbearable, but also challenges the livestock and poultry breeding industry such as chicken farms.
Zhao Shubao, the person in charge of the farm, said: "We have 8 chicken houses, of which 6 are laying hens, each building is 50,000, a total of 300,000, and 2 are pre-stored. ”
At noon, although the outdoor weather is hot, but in a breeding cooperative in Guanmiao Town, Suyu District, more than 300,000 broilers are in good condition, the person in charge introduced, because of the high density, the chicken coop has relatively high temperature requirements, no matter how much the outside temperature, the indoor temperature can not exceed 30 degrees.
Zhao Shubao, the person in charge of the farm, said: "Each shed is equipped with 20 fans, and our temperature is normally set at 23 to 25 degrees. If it exceeds the range of 25 degrees, the wet curtain will be automatically opened, and the water will be served, and the fan will cool down the wet curtain cooperation. ”
In addition to cooling, 300,000 chicks eat an astonishing amount of food every day, and the manure produced is also a key part of the farm's work, for which the farm ferments the chicken manure to reduce air pollution.
Zhao Shubao, the person in charge of the farm, said: "We use a forklift to load the chicken manure into the fermentation tank every day to ensure that it does not fall to the ground, and implement harmless treatment. ”
Summer is the peak of electricity consumption, thunderstorms are more, prone to voltage fluctuations, as a fully electrified, fully enclosed farming, once the power outage, the consequences are unimaginable. The farm is specially equipped with generator sets to provide fast and normal power supply in case of power outages.
Zhao Shubao, the person in charge of the farm, said: "Equipped with two sets of generators, there is a centralized alarm place when the power is off, and the electrician in the field sees this thing, and runs to the generator room as soon as possible, and the power supply can be switched over in two minutes." ”
Similarly, in a large-scale livestock and poultry farm in Dadun Village, Suyu District, the fans and water curtains outside the chicken coop are all opened, the sprayer in the chicken coop is running at high speed, and the breeders are monitoring the temperature and humidity in the chicken coop in real time through the automatic environmental control system. More than 600,000 broilers in the entire chicken farm spend the hot summer in a comfortable "air-conditioned room" with automatic constant temperature and humidity. According to the person in charge, if the temperature continues to rise and the temperature in the chicken house exceeds 32 degrees Celsius, emergency measures will be activated.
Li Ze, the person in charge of the farm, said: "If the outside world breaks through our prediction, (the temperature) continues to rise, we can only carry out an emergency limit operation, order ice, the whole chicken coop began (paved) ice, the chicken coop walkway, all the closest places to the chicken to it are covered with ice, a physical cooling." ”
There are 65 large-scale farms in Suyu District, with 110 million white-feathered broilers slaughtered annually. In response to the high temperature weather, the Suyu District Livestock and Poultry Technical Service Center organized forces to go to various farms to scientifically guide the prevention and control of livestock and poultry diseases and heatstroke prevention and cooling, and fully escort the health and safety of animal husbandry in summer.
Huang Lurong, director of the Suyu District Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Technical Service Center, said: "Among our feed additives, we need to add a little medicine for heatstroke prevention and cooling emergency measures to prevent the reduction of food caused by high temperature livestock and poultry, resulting in a decrease in resistance." We must avoid the high temperature at noon, and do some epidemic prevention and control work in the morning and evening, including we must do a good job of three elimination and four elimination work inside and outside the venue. ”
