How to raise layers?

Layer farming need to pay attention to the following aspects, including cage selection:

  1. Site selection: Choose a place with high terrain, good ventilation, sufficient water and convenient transportation to establish the chicken farm. At the same time, ensure that the environment around the chicken farm is quiet to avoid excessive noise and pollution.
  2. Chicken house construction: Design the chicken house according to the breeding scale to ensure the air circulation, sufficient light, moderate temperature and humidity in the chicken house. Chicken house materials can choose masonry, cement, color steel, etc. The inside of the chicken house needs to be divided into feeding area, management area, feed area, fecal urine treatment area, etc., each area has distinct functions to reduce cross-contamination.
  3. Cage selection: Choosing the right cage is the key to breeding laying hens. Common chicken cages are hot-dip galvanized chicken cages, spray chicken cages and so on. Hot-dip galvanized chicken cages are the first choice for automated farming, with high corrosion resistance, but the price is relatively high. The spray chicken cage adopts powdery coating adsorbed to the cage by high voltage static electricity to form a phosphating film with high corrosion resistance, but the price is relatively low. Choose the right coop according to your needs and budget.
  4. Feeding and management: reasonable allocation of feed to ensure adequate nutrition of laying hens. According to the growth stage of laying hens adjust the light, temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions. Clean the coop regularly and keep the environment clean.
  5. Disease prevention and control: establish and improve the epidemic prevention system, carry out regular disease surveillance, and timely deal with the disease. Take biosecurity measures to prevent the invasion of pathogens.
  6. Light and ventilation: Ensure sufficient light in the hen house, which is conducive to laying eggs. At the same time, we should pay attention to the ventilation of the chicken house, keep the air fresh, and prevent the laying hens from suffering from respiratory diseases.
  7. Collect eggs: Collect eggs regularly every day to avoid egg breakage. Clean and disinfect eggs after collection to prevent contamination.
  8. Environmental control: Monitor the temperature, humidity, air quality, etc., to create a comfortable living environment for laying hens.
  9. Observe the growth of laying hens: regularly observe the growth of laying hens, and deal with abnormalities in time. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the egg production, egg weight and other indicators in order to adjust the feeding management measures.
  10. Feces and urine treatment: the feces and urine in the chicken house should be cleaned in time to reduce pollution. It can be treated by biological fermentation, composting and other methods, and can be used for fertilization after reaching the standard.

In short, the breeding of laying hens needs to be considered from many aspects such as site selection, chicken house construction, cage selection, feeding management, disease prevention and control. Only by doing these preparations can we ensure the healthy growth of laying hens and improve the efficiency of breeding.
