Brooding is a critical factor that determines the success or failure of chicken farming. The Dongzhen Chicken Farm in Hebei Province has been using a plastic film greenhouse insulation method since 1998, and this approach has consistently maintained a brooding rate above 99%, with some periods reaching as high as 100%. Additionally, the commercial slaughter rate for their chickens exceeds 98%, and they have managed to save about 30% in energy consumption compared to the same period last year. Here's how the method works:
In a basic chicken shed, an arched structure made of nylon membrane is constructed. This arch measures 8 meters in length, 2.4 meters in width, and 1.2 meters in height. It is supported by several bamboo strips, and the top is reinforced with an 8-meter-long bamboo pole or stick. Below the arch, a uniform layout of 6-cubic heat lamps is installed, divided into three separate circuits to control the power supply. A thermometer is placed 30 centimeters above the ground at one end of the shed to monitor temperature. Around the base of the shed, a wooden fence approximately 25 cm high is built, close to the inner wall of the plastic film.
A small amount of lime is sprinkled on the floor, and old straw mats are laid down inside the shed. Trays and drinking fountains are evenly distributed on both sides. Before introducing the chicks, the lights are turned on and the area is warmed up for about 3 hours. Afterward, the plastic film ventilation is opened regularly every 2–3 hours to ensure proper air circulation. When feeding or adding water, farmers only need to put their hands through the openings, without entering the shed itself. Once a batch of chicks has grown, the straw mats and chicken droppings can be easily removed.
This brooding technique is not only effective for chickens but can also be applied to other types of young birds. For small-scale breeders looking for an efficient and cost-effective method, this system is definitely worth trying. It’s a simple yet highly effective solution that combines traditional knowledge with practical innovation.
Food Additives
Food additives a chemical substances added in the food production process to improve the quality, taste, color, freshness, and other characteristics of food. Food additives are widely used in the food processing industry, including beverages, confectionery, bread, meat products, dairy products, canned food, frozen food, etc.
There are many types of food additives, including antioxidants, preservatives, sweeteners, thickeners, emulsifiers, bleaching agents, flavoring agents, etc. These additives can improve the quality and taste of food, making it more delicious and healthy.
Our food additives focus on Natural Sweeteners, Natural Colorants, and Food Preservatives. During the process, they exert their respective skills and bring us a rich and delicious food experience.
Food additives are widely used in all areas of food processing, from beverages to confectionery, from bread to meat products, from dairy products to canned foods, to frozen foods, everywhere. Their existence makes the food not only more attractive in taste, more vivid in color, and more stable in quality, but also makes our life more colorful.
Among the many food additives, we focus on the three categories of natural sweeteners, natural colorants, and food preservatives. Natural sweeteners, such as honey and monkfruit glycosides, add a sweet taste to food with their unique sweet taste, while avoiding the adverse effects of too much sugar on health. Compared with artificial sweeteners, natural sweeteners are more favored by consumers because they can not only satisfy people's love of sweet foods but also be closer to nature and make people eat with peace of mind.
Natural colorants are like putting a beautiful coat on foods, making them more visually appealing. From beet red to anthocyanins, these colors from nature give food a vivid and attractive look. They not only make the food more pleasing to the eye but also let consumers enjoy the delicious taste at the same time, feel the beauty and magic of nature. Compared with synthetic colorants, natural colorants are safer and more reliable and do not pose a potential threat to human health.
