Infrared heating lamps have many advantages in heating chicks, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Providing suitable temperatureRapid heating: After the infrared heating tube is powered on, it can quickly generate heat and raise the ambient temperature around the chicks in a short time. This is crucial for newly hatched chicks, because they have weak ability to regulate their own body temperature and need a warm environment to maintain life activities. For example, in cold seasons, infrared heating tubes can raise the temperature of the chicks’ activity area to a suitable range within a few minutes, providing timely warmth for the chicks.Uniform temperature: The infrared radiation emitted by the infrared heating lamp can be evenly distributed within a certain spatial range, making the ambient temperature of the chicks more uniform. This can prevent the chicks from feeling uncomfortable due to excessively high or low local temperatures, and ensure that each chick can enjoy a suitable temperature. Compared with traditional heating methods, infrared heating tubes can better ensure the consistency of the temperature around the chicks, and improve the comfort and survival rate of the chicks.Precise temperature control: The temperature of the infrared heating tube can be accurately adjusted by equipping it with a temperature controller. According to the different growth stages of the chicks and the changes in ambient temperature, the output power of the heating tube can be adjusted at any time to keep the temperature of the chicks’ living environment stable within a suitable range. For example, in the first few days after the chicks are hatched, a higher temperature is required, and as the chicks grow, the temperature can be gradually lowered. Accurate temperature control can meet the needs of chicks at different growth stages and promote the healthy growth of chicks.
Promote the growth and development of chicksEnhance immunity: A suitable temperature environment can enhance the immunity of chicks and reduce the occurrence of diseases. The warm environment provided by infrared heating lamps helps chicks maintain a good physiological state and improve their body resistance. In a warm environment, the metabolism of chicks is more vigorous, and they can better absorb nutrients and enhance their own immunity, thereby reducing the risk of illness.Increase growth rate: A warm environment can promote the appetite and digestion and absorption function of chicks, so that chicks can take in more nutrients and accelerate growth. Infrared heating lamps can create a comfortable growth environment for chicks, making chicks more active and enhancing their appetite. At the same time, suitable temperatures can also promote various physiological and biochemical reactions in the chicks, improve the utilization rate of nutrients, and thus accelerate the growth and development of chicks.Improve feather growth: Infrared radiation also has a certain promoting effect on the growth of chicks’ feathers. In a warm environment, the chicks’ feathers grow healthier and neater, which can better protect the chicks’ bodies and prevent cold. Good feather growth not only helps to improve the appearance quality of the chicks, but also enhances the chicks’ thermal insulation performance and reduces energy consumption.
Safe and reliableNo open flame: Infrared heating lamps do not produce open flames during operation, avoiding the risk of fire. This is very important for chick breeding sites, because breeding sites usually store a large amount of flammable materials such as straw, sawdust, etc. The use of infrared heating tubes can greatly improve the safety of breeding sites and reduce the occurrence of fire accidents.Waterproof and moisture-proof: Some high-quality infrared heating lamps have waterproof and moisture-proof properties and can work normally in a humid environment. This is very practical for chick breeding sites, because the environment of breeding sites is usually humid, which can easily cause damage to electrical equipment. Waterproof and moisture-proof infrared heating tubes can adapt to the special environment of breeding sites and ensure their long-term stable operation.Strong and durable: Infrared heating lamps are usually made of strong and durable materials and have a long service life. Under normal use, infrared heating tubes can be used for several years or even longer, reducing the frequency and cost of replacing equipment. At the same time, the durable heating tubes can also withstand certain external impacts and vibrations, and are not easily damaged, providing continuous and stable heating services for the chickens.
