Posted by : RetechAfter determining the breeding management model and methods, you can decide which type of house to build, the required size, whether to use closed or open chicken houses, and the style of the houses, all based on the needs of the breeding management model.
1. The site for broiler farms should be located in a high, dry area that is sheltered from the wind and faces the sun, preferably facing south or southeast. This orientation helps with ventilation in summer and heat retention in winter.
2. There are no large chemical plants or mines within 3 kilometers of the chicken farm, and the farm should be at least 1,000 meters away from other livestock farms, highways, and village settlements.
3. The water source is sufficient and reliable, meeting the requirements for pollution-free drinking water for food production.
4. The power supply is stable, with its own transformer and power distribution equipment. Large broiler farms must also purchase their own power generation equipment to prepare for emergencies in the event of power outages.
5. There should be a slight slope to facilitate the discharge of sewage, rainwater, and other runoff. The site should not be located in low-lying areas.
6. Keep the farm away from noise sources and heavily polluted canals or rivers. It is strictly prohibited to build farms near drinking water sources, upstream of food factories, in water protection areas, tourist areas, nature reserves, or regions with severe environmental pollution and frequent outbreaks of livestock and poultry diseases.
Large-scale poultry farms must separate living areas from production areas, as well as sewage roads from clean roads. Small and medium-sized broiler farms should also separate these areas as much as possible. Regardless of their size, all chicken farms must be enclosed by brick walls at least 2 meters high to isolate the farm from the outside world.
The layout of chicken buildings within the venue is generally considered from the following aspects：
1. The layout should be divided into three functional areas: the living and management area, the production area, and the isolation area. The boundaries of each area should be clear, and the connections should be convenient. The living and management area should be located upwind of the dominant wind direction or crosswind direction throughout the year, while the isolation area should be positioned in the opposite direction. The distance between each area should be at least 50 meters.
2. The chicken house should be located 50 to 100 meters away from the fence. The distance between chicken houses of the same age should be about 20 meters, while the distance between chicken houses of different ages should exceed 100 meters. The brooder house and rearing house should be located as far from the broiler house as possible, at least 1 km away, and should be positioned upwind of the main wind direction.
3. The roads in the farm area are divided into clean and dirty roads. Clean roads are used for transporting feed, chicks, and personnel in and out, while dirty roads are used for transporting feces and discarded chickens out of the farm. The dirty roads should be located on the downwind side. The two types of roads must be strictly separated and should not be mixed.
4. The chicken house should face south or southeast and be positioned upwind.
