Application of Companion Tropics in Poultry Farming

　　With the development of modern farming technology, poultry farming is facing more and more challenges. Especially in the cold season, how to maintain the appropriate temperature of the chicken house has become a key issue. As a kind of efficient heating equipment, heating tape has been widely used in poultry farming. In this paper, we will discuss in detail the basic principle of accompanying heat, the specific application, advantages and precautions in poultry breeding.

　　First, accompanies the basic principle of the tropical

　　Accompanies the tropical is one kind through the electric current sends the heat the cable, its internal contains the conductive polymer composite material and two parallel metal wires. When the current passes, the conductive polymer composite material will produce heat, so as to achieve the effect of heating. The heating cable has the function of automatically adjusting the temperature, when the temperature rises, its resistance will increase, thus reducing the output power; on the contrary, when the temperature falls, its resistance will decrease, thus increasing the output power. This kind of automatically adjusts the temperature function makes the accompanying tropical belt in the poultry breeding has the important application value.

　　Second, accompanies the tropical belt in the poultry breeding in the specific application

　　1. Chicken house heat preservation

　　In the cold season, the chicken coop heat preservation problem is an important problem in poultry breeding. The traditional heat preservation method such as thickening the wall, cover the heat preservation material and so on although can play the heat preservation role to a certain extent, but the effect is not ideal. The accompanying heat tape can be directly heated through the chicken coop floor, wall or ceiling, etc., effectively improve the temperature of the chicken coop, so as to ensure the normal growth and production of poultry.

　　2. Drinking water pipe heat preservation

　　In the cold season, the drinking water pipe is easy to freeze, cause the poultry can't drink water normally. The heat tape can be wrapped around the drinking water pipe, effectively prevent the drinking water pipe from freezing, so as to ensure the normal drinking water of the poultry.

　　3. Feed trough heat preservation

　　In the cold season, the feed in the feed trough is easy to caking, cause the poultry can not eat normally. And accompanied by the tropical can be installed in the feed trough at the bottom of the way, effectively prevent the feed caking, so as to ensure the normal feeding of poultry.

　　Third, accompanied by tropical in poultry breeding advantages

　　1. High efficiency and energy saving

　　The accompanying heat belt has the function of automatically adjusting the temperature, can according to the actual temperature in the chicken coop automatically adjusts the output power, so as to achieve the purpose of high efficiency and energy saving.

　　2. Safe and reliable

　　With insulated jacket and shielding layer design, good waterproof, moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant performance, can work stably for a long time under the bad environment, so as to ensure the safety and reliability of poultry farming.

　　3. Convenient installation

　　The accompanying tropical tape has the soft, lightweight characteristic, can bend and fix at will according to the need, thus conveniently installs in the poultry breeding various places.

　　Fourth, accompanied by the tropical in the poultry breeding in the attention of the notes

　　1. Correctly selects the accompanies the tropical specification

　　In the use accompanies the heat tape, should according to the chicken coop's actual area and the temperature request, the correct choice accompanies the heat tape's specification. Generally speaking, the larger the area of the chicken coop, the higher the temperature requirement, the higher the power of the required accompanying heat tape.

　　2. Pay attention to the installation position

　　When installing the accompanying tropical, should pay attention to choose the suitable position. Generally speaking, accompanied by the tropical should be installed in the chicken coop ground, wall or ceiling of the inner side, to ensure that it can effectively play the role of heating.

　　3. Regular inspection and maintenance

　　In the use of accompanied by tropical, should regularly check its working condition, timely detection and treatment of possible problems. At the same time, should also regularly clean the dust and dirt on the surface of the heating tape to ensure its good heat dissipation performance and insulation performance.

　　As a kind of efficient heating equipment, the accompanying heat tape has the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving, safety and reliability, and easy installation, etc., and is gradually widely used in poultry breeding. By correctly selecting the specification of the heating tape, paying attention to the installation position and regular inspection and maintenance, the use effect of the heating tape can be effectively improved, thus ensuring the normal growth and production of poultry in the cold season.
