What to do if sudden power outage in chicken farm

Published : /

Posted by : Retech

This article is a reminder to breeders. A power outage in the chicken house will cause great losses to the breeding industry. Due to line failure, fan power outage, and the lack of an alarm, the alarm could not be issued in time, making it impossible for relevant personnel to take timely measures to reduce the temperature, resulting in an inevitable tragedy.


The weather is hot in summer. Once the chicken shed is out of power, the temperature inside the chicken shed cannot be controlled, which can easily cause the chickens to squeeze each other to death or suffocate due to lack of oxygen. If it happens at night and the chicken shed suddenly becomes dark, it is also easy to cause "chickens". "Shocking herd" phenomenon has disastrous consequences.Let’s explore the problems that a power outage in a chicken house can cause and how to deal with them.

Possible losses caused by power outages in chicken houses:

1. Death of chickens: A power outage will cause the fan to stop working, affecting the ventilation and cooling system in the chicken house. If the power outage lasts for a long time, the chickens may die from the heat.


2. Feed waste: During a power outage, automatic feeding systems may not function properly, resulting in feed waste or hungry chickens.

3. Data loss: If our chicken farms use automated monitoring systems, power outages may cause data loss, affecting management and decision-making.

Raising chickens is a production process that is highly dependent on the environment. Especially in hot weather in summer, ventilation fans must be continuously operated to maintain appropriate temperature and ventilation conditions. For large-scale chicken farms, they should be equipped with double power systems and strengthen monitoring measures to reduce the risk of power outages.


How to avoid losses caused by power outages?

1. Install a generator: Install a diesel electric generator unit in the chicken farm to deal with sudden power failures. The generator can automatically start when the main power supply is cut off, providing power support for important equipment and ensuring the normal operation of the chicken farm;


2. Regularly inspect and maintain circuits: Regularly inspect circuits and electrical equipment to ensure their normal operation. If there is damage or aging, it should be repaired or replaced immediately to avoid the risk of sudden power outage or circuit fire.

The occurrence of line failure indicates that the chicken farm has insufficient equipment maintenance problems. Regular equipment inspection and maintenance are the basis for ensuring normal operation. If timely maintenance is not obtained, it will not only affect the stability of the chicken raising environment, but also increase biosecurity risks.


3. Pay attention to the weather forecast: In severe weather conditions, such as high temperature warnings, thunderstorms, typhoons, etc., pay special attention to the weather forecast and take preventive measures in advance. For example, turning off electrical equipment, checking lightning protection facilities, etc. to avoid the risk of sudden power outages;


4. Establish an emergency plan: Develop an emergency plan, including measures to deal with sudden power outages, equipment failure, etc. The plan should clarify each person's responsibilities and operating procedures to ensure rapid and effective response in an emergency;


To sum up, chicken farm owners should take comprehensive measures, from the configuration and protection of hardware equipment to the formulation and execution of emergency plans, to ensure the stable operation of the chicken farm and maximize the economic benefits.

By strengthening equipment maintenance, improving alarm systems, and improving emergency response capabilities, we can effectively prevent similar accidents and ensure the normal operation of chicken farms and the healthy growth of chickens.
