There are different types of feeding systems, and identifying the best feeding model for poultry farming is one of the constant questions of those interested in poultry farming. In the past, traditional and manual systems were used in poultry feeding, but it has been two decades that automatic feeding systems have replaced manual systems in breeding halls, following which we have seen a significant increase in productivity in poultry halls. From the types of feeders, we can mention chain or trough feeding systems, plates with grill, without grill and plates that can be used for one day in poultry houses, which we will review in this article and try to provide useful information about the choice. Provide the best feeding plate.<\/span><\/p>\n

What features do the best poultry feeders have?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Today, we see an increase in breeding capacity in poultry houses. In recent years, the policies of the agricultural jihad have been based on not issuing poultry licenses with a capacity of less than 20,000 pieces. This has caused the standards of poultry farms to undergo changes in recent years and it is no longer possible to deal with breeding as in the past. Of course, such policies cannot be considered wrong because avoiding scattered breeding and consolidating poultry farms with today’s standards can significantly reduce energy loss in poultry houses. As seen in most developed countries, broiler breeding is used as a breeding chain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, with the existence of industrial halls and the increase of breeding capacity, attention should be paid to various matters in the breeding hall in terms of scientific and practical standards. For example, calculating the basic ventilation of breeding halls, paying attention to intelligent poultry control systems, using heating and cooling systems with high efficiency, and other things that we have discussed in another article under the title of poultry hall standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, it is very important to pay attention to feeding systems. Especially in recent years, with the release of agricultural inputs, the cost of feed has increased significantly for poultry farmers. Therefore, choosing the most suitable and best feeding plate can largely prevent the waste of feed costs for the poultry farmer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advantages of automatic feeding in poultry houses<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The availability of fresh and quality feed is one of the main requirements for successful breeding. Regarding nutrition, it is very important to pay attention to the quality of feed conversion. According to world standards in broiler breeding, the conversion factor is around 1.65 in breeding halls, which unfortunately is close to and sometimes higher than 2 in our country. Its causes can be found in various cases, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Failure to pay attention to the needs of poultry in different breeding periods<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Failure to comply with scientific standards and principles of ration writing<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Using inappropriate equipment and waste<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Regarding the last case, choosing the best feeding plate can greatly improve this situation. I will discuss this further.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What are the characteristics of a good feeder?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    To answer the question of what the best feeder is, the feeder plate can be evaluated from different aspects. Things like the design of the plate, the material used in the production of the plate, how to install and place the plates in the hall, the useful life and durability of the feeding system, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The design of the feeding plate can be considered one of the most important things in evaluating the best feeding plate. Among the automatic feeding systems, one of the oldest systems is the trough or chain feeding system. A chain feeder that has been used for more than 20 years in Iran and is still being used in many farms in the country. Although with the advent of this system, there was a revolution in feeding systems, but today it cannot be considered the best choice. In the article examining the advantages and disadvantages of chain feeders, I have discussed this in detail, but in general, I will state some major disadvantages of this feeder:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Because of its high wear and tear, the chain feeder usually suffers repeated failures over time. If the quality of this feeder is low, over time and by being exposed to detergents and disinfectants, at the end of its useful life, it will significantly decrease.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • The chain feeder gives the chicken the power to choose the feed. So that the chickens at the beginning of the line prefer to choose coarser grain, and the chickens at the end of the line receive a different diet. This causes a decrease in the uniformity of the weight of the flock in the poultry farm. Of course, using Dun Pellet can solve this issue to a great extent.<\/span><\/li>\n
