The scientific configuration of broiler floor-raising equipment is the foundation for achieving efficient broiler production, while environmental control technology provides precise support based on the broiler's growth patterns. Floor-raising equipment mainly includes a water system, feeding system, heating system, ventilation system, and litter management facilities. The water system uses nipple drinkers or trough drinkers to ensure a clean water supply around the clock. Nipple drinkers reduce leakage and keep the litter dry. The feeding system selects feeding trays, feed troughs, or automatic feeding lines according to the age of the chickens, ensuring sufficient feeding space and reducing feed waste. The heating system provides a suitable temperature of 33-35 degrees Celsius in the early brooding stage, gradually decreasing as the chickens grow older. The ventilation system ensures good air quality in the shed through the reasonable configuration of fans and air inlets. Litter management facilities include litter storage and laying tools. Commonly used litter materials include rice husks, wood shavings, and chopped straw, which have good moisture absorption and keep the ground dry and comfortable. The environmental control technology for floor-raised broiler chickens follows a phased management principle. The brooding period is a critical stage for broiler growth, requiring higher temperatures and relative humidity to ensure rapid feed and water intake and improve survival rates. During this stage, a combination of localized heating and overall insulation is recommended to meet the chicks' temperature needs while avoiding excessive energy consumption. During the growth period, as the chickens' feathers mature and their thermoregulation ability improves, the house temperature should be gradually reduced while increasing ventilation. The fattening period is the fastest-growing stage for broilers, with high feed intake and metabolic heat production. Enhanced ventilation and heat dissipation are necessary to prevent heat stress from affecting feed intake. Light control is also a crucial aspect of environmental management. Intermittent or gradually decreasing lighting schemes promote a reasonable alternation between feeding and rest, which is beneficial for improving growth rate and feed conversion ratio.

The positive impact of floor-raised equipment and environmental control on broiler production performance is multifaceted. Stable temperature and good air quality reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases, lower mortality rates, and increase survival rates. Suitable feeding space and drinking conditions ensure uniform feeding among chickens, reducing differentiation between strong and weak individuals and improving flock uniformity. Proper litter management can reduce breast cysts and footpad damage, improving carcass quality. In a comfortable environment, broilers exhibit high feeding activity, good digestion and absorption, improved feed conversion ratio, and a high rate of achieving target slaughter weight. Studies show that well-controlled broiler houses can increase slaughter weight by 5% to 10% compared to traditional houses, while reducing the feed conversion ratio by 0.05% to 0.1%. Through scientific equipment configuration and precise environmental control, broiler farming enterprises can achieve higher production efficiency and economic benefits.
