Seven aspects that should be paid attention to when laying hens

First, pay attention to sudden refueling. At present, most farmer laying hens generally use full-price compound feed, and some people immediately use new feeds as soon as they hear about how good a feed is. The result is that the egg production rate has not only not increased, but has continued to decline. The reason is that chickens have a habit of feeding on feeds. If they are suddenly replaced, they will affect the appetite of chickens, which will reduce the egg production of laying hens.

Second, pay attention to simple eggshell calcium. The eggshell is a good calcium supplement, but it needs to be processed and supplemented. It is not advisable for the farmer to raise chickens. Due to the eggshell's tendency to degenerate and become contaminated, the type of eggshell calcium supplementation in chicken farmers can cause disease.

Third, pay attention to raw food feeding. Some chicken farmers are accustomed to feeding chickens with raw grains such as corn or rice and beans. This feeding method not only feeds the feedstuff, causes feed wastage, but also is harmful to chickens and affects the egg laying rate. The correct approach is to smash the raw grains and then feed the bran, bean cake, bone meal, lime powder, etc. according to the formula.

Fourth, pay attention to anal mop. Some chicken farmers are accustomed to putting their hands into the chicken's anus to touch the eggs. This is unscientific. Because the fingers are not hygienic, it is easy to bring bacteria into the chicken, resulting in local inflammation, redness, rupture, prolapse and other symptoms, and even cause chicken infectious diseases.

Fifth, pay attention to lack of calcium and phosphorus. Cage-laying hens are prone to lack of calcium and phosphorus, causing rough shells or soft-shelled eggs, even standing unsteady and dying. Can add 3% calcium powder or 5% gypsum powder in the feed, add some charcoal ash or small grit at the same time to prevent the disease from happening.

Six, pay attention to nutritional bias. Laying chickens most avoid a single nutrition, vitamin deficiency. Therefore, attention should be paid to adding enough vitamin E to maintain the normal function of the reproductive organs and prevent fallopian tube stenosis caused by rectal prolapse before or after the start of production; in winter, low-temperature light, the layer should also be supplemented with vitamin D, to prevent the cage Laying chickens cannot receive outdoor light and develop vitamin D deficiency.

Seven, pay attention to body fat. Egg-fat is obese, excessive accumulation of body fat, egg production will decline sharply or even stop production. Therefore, it is possible to reduce feed by 10% to 15% before laying hens are laid, or to reduce 8% to 14% of concentrates after laying eggs, and to supplement roughage (vegetable leaves, rough pods, etc.) for prevention. Can also add 2.4% choline in the feed, feed for 10 days, to reduce the "fat" and increase egg production.
