How to maintain the high usage rate of wet curtains during summer in large-scale layer farming?


Cooling down the chicken coop is a key task for many laying hens in summer. Wet curtain cooling is a commonly used method. In the process of using wet curtains for cooling, we often encounter sediment accumulation and microbial breeding due to inadequate cleaning and disinfection and sterilization of wet curtains, which will seriously affect the cooling effect. How can we ensure the normal operation of the moisturizing curtain and ensure that the chickens can survive the summer?

1. Check the integrity of the wet curtain

Observe whether the wet curtain is old, weathered, or damaged by other animals such as mice;

Check the sealing of the wet curtain water pipeline connection and observe if there is any damage. If it affects the use of the wet curtain, it must be repaired or replaced in a timely manner to ensure its normal use.

2. Clean the wet curtain

When the wet curtain experiences the wind and sun in spring, autumn, and winter, dust, floating debris, feathers, and other debris often block the air outlet, greatly reducing the air intake area of the wet curtain, and subsequently affecting the wind speed and cooling effect of the wet curtain. To ensure that the wet curtain is clean and free of debris, it is necessary to first use a vacuum cleaner to remove the debris.

3. Clean the wet curtain

After using a vacuum cleaner to remove debris, small dust will still adhere to the wet curtain. It is necessary to rinse with clean water from top to bottom and from outside to inside until the water flowing out of the wet curtain is clean. In addition, as the wet curtain is made of paper material, it is important not to use pressure flushing tools when flushing the wet curtain to avoid damaging it.

4. Wet curtain pipeline cleaning

Firstly, drain the stored water, then use a specialized pipeline brush to clean the water pipe, and rinse off any remaining scale, sludge, moss, etc. in the water pipe to avoid dirt deposition, causing blockage of the wet curtain pipeline and microbial growth.

5 disinfection and sterilization Wet Curtain

To ensure the health of chickens, after the wet curtain and pipes are cleaned, disinfection and sterilization liquid must be used for disinfection and sterilization (twice). Disinfection and sterilization that can be selected include Glutaraldehyde, iodine preparation and chlorine preparation, and the matching concentration must strictly follow the instructions.
