What should be laid on the ground to ensure that the manure is dry and easy to clean?
The customer of the ground chicken house chooses to clean the manure manually, so what should be laid on the ground to ensure that the manure is dry and easy to clean?
Answer:
Soft, dry, and highly water-absorbent materials should be selected for litter, such as sawdust, straw, and rice husk. For crop stalks, such as rice straw, wheat straw, etc., they should be cut short, and the length should be about 10 cm. Wood thorns and impurities should be removed from the sawdust.
The method of laying thick bedding is to spread a layer of quicklime on the ground in the house, at standard of 1 kg per square meter at first, and then spread 10-20 cm thick bedding. Or lay 5-6 cm thick at first, grows the bedding if it is dirty, then continue to add new bedding until the thickness reaches 20-25 cm. The usual management is to replace the dirty litter part and keep the litter dry.
