Three main points and four precautions of laying hen breeding
July 07, 2021
Life and death at 5 days
At the fifth day of age, the chickens are basically finalized when they die, but three elements are needed to reduce the chicken’s death: high-quality chicks, suitable temperature and humidity, and high-quality medicine.
35 days old for life
The uniformity of laying hens affects the later stage of laying rate, the higher the uniformity, the better. On the thirty-fifth day of the laying hens, chickens with poor physical fitness must be selected and raised separately and supplemented with good nutrition. The uniformity and weight at this time determine the later stage of laying rate, egg size, peak time, and elimination of chickens. Quantity and so on.
Suggested plan: The selected weak chickens are raised separately, and when the difference is large, light can be appropriately supplemented to promote feeding. Attachment: Adding more light to the laying hens before 70 days of age has no effect on laying. (Chickens with weak physique can use nutrients to increase nutrition and gain weight)
High yield at 80 days old
The eighty-day-old layer is when the ovaries and fallopian tubes of the layer begin to develop. At this time, they are most susceptible to infection with bacteria such as large rods and salmonella, which can cause poor development of the fallopian tubes and ovaries of the layer and refractory inflammation of the fallopian tubes in the later period, which leads to the late peak. The period is not high, the quality of the eggshell is not good, and the inflammation of the fallopian tube should not be eliminated.
At the same time, pay attention to the following four stages:
Note when the egg production rate is 5%
At this time, the chickens have just started to produce, and they are most likely to have endocrine disorders and spleen and stomach disorders, which are manifested as sparse and unformed feces, slow feeding, and low resistance. At this time, it is the period of high-speed follicle development and fallopian tube formation, so it is necessary to regulate the spleen, stomach and endocrine, supplement nutrition and increase the body's resistance at this time.
Note when the egg production rate is 50%
At this time, most chicken flocks have started to lay, the fallopian tubes are more stressed, and fallopian tube inflammation and anus pecking are prone to occur. The follicles develop rapidly, require more nutrients and the liver and kidney load is greater. At this time, the body's resistance is low. Therefore, at this time, the chickens should mainly reduce inflammation, regulate the fallopian tube, increase resistance, and supplement balanced nutrition.
Note when the egg production rate is 90%
At this time, the egg production rate is officially at its peak, but there are still 10% of the laying hens that have not laid eggs. To achieve greater egg production performance in the flock, three points need to be done:
1. Use Chinese medicine that promotes the development of fallopian tubes to promote the development of follicles.
2. Eliminate inflammation of fallopian tubes.
3. Supplement nutrition to increase body resistance
Pay attention when the egg production rate drops to 85%
Under normal circumstances, when the egg production rate of chickens drops to 85%, the body's storage becomes insufficient. This is also the period when the body's tissues and organs begin to age and the digestion and absorption functions are declining. So if you don't pay attention at this time, it is most likely to happen that the egg production rate drops quite quickly.
