China News Service, Xingtai, January 7th (Zhang Pengxiang and Zhang Wenli) "Although there are 70,000 laying hens, all the work can be completed by only 10 workers, automatic feeding, computer environmental control, remote management, automatic temperature control, All links such as automatic manure removal have been intelligentized." Wu Xianke, head of Qinglai Animal Husbandry Farm in Renze District, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, said on the 7th.

  Walking into Wu Xianke's farm, I saw that there are 5 huge composite production lines in the chicken coop. Each production line has 4 floors and 35,000 laying hens live in the "apartment" "upstairs and downstairs".

Each "floor" is equipped with automatic water supply and feeding equipment, without manual handling, water and feed can come to the laying hens smoothly.

The eggs are automatically arranged into the egg trough, and are brought to one end of the production line by the conveyor, and are collected and packaged by the workers.

Chicken manure is automatically cleaned and collected by the machine.

  "My farm produces more than 8,000 kilograms of eggs per day, and the egg production rate reaches 95%. It is mainly sold to Guangzhou." Wu Xianke said that this automated and modern chicken raising method can not only solve the problem that workers frequently enter and leave the farm and affect the growth of laying hens and yield problems, while contributing to disease prevention and control.

"We have a QR code on the box, and customers can trace the source of the eggs by scanning the code, so they can eat with confidence."

  In a beef cattle breeding base in Yongfuzhuang Township, breeding facilities such as feed processing rooms, disinfection fog cannons, feed feeding machines, and constant temperature controllers have all been intelligentized.
