Precautions during laying egg period

The use of chicken battery cages to raise chickens is a popular chicken raising method in the chicken industry. The chicken cages are raised in a multi-layer cage. The breeding density is large and the number is large. It is very popular among farmers, using chicken cages to raise chickens, and which are Need to pay attention to the chickens to pay attention to the matter, only pay attention to all aspects of feeding points, scientific and reasonable breeding can be able to raise the higher yield of the chickens, the following authors to tell the majority of farmers to use the chicken cage in spring chicken’s precautions.

1. Reduce stress

During the peak period of laying eggs, laying hens have high production intensity, heavy physiological burden, poor resistance and sensitivity to stress. If there is stress, the egg production of the chicken will drop sharply, the mortality rate will increase, the feed consumption will increase, and after the egg production declines, it is difficult to return to the original level. Therefore, at this stage, we must pay attention to avoid the following aspects of stress:

To keep the house and the surrounding environment quiet, the breeder should wear fixed work clothes, and no one should enter the house;

Block the rat hole in the chicken house and regularly put the bait outside the house to eliminate the mouse;

Seal the doors, windows and vents with wire to prevent the weasels, cats, dogs, birds, rats, etc. from entering the house;

It is strictly forbidden to set off fireworks and firecrackers around the chicken house;

Feed processing, handling should be kept away from the house, which not only prevents noise stress, but also prevents cross-infection of flock diseases.

2. Weight control during laying of laying hens

During laying, laying hens should also control the amount of feed to achieve the desired level of weight gain during laying. Because the nutritional levels of the laying hens vary from place to place, the feeding amount of the laying hens is not the same. It is important not to blindly pursue the large and uncontrolled feeding intake. Otherwise, your flock will be over-fertilized and fatty liver will appear prematurely, resulting in an increase in the rate of death.

3. Different management points in the season

Spring: The temperature rises, the light is lengthened, and it is good for laying eggs. However, there are many disease factors, pay attention to disinfection and epidemic prevention.

Summer: pay attention to heatstroke prevention, reduce heat stress, increase feed intake, and improve feed quality.

Autumn: Ensure that the lighting time is stable.

Winter: cold insulation, increase the temperature inside the house and pay attention to ventilation.
