In order to ensure the egg production performance of the chickens in the poultry layer cages, farmers not only need to have good breeding methods, but also pay attention to the usual management of poultry. Today, I will introduce to you the things that cannot be done in layer cage breeding, which should affect the egg production rate.
- Sudden feed change: Although the vegetative reproduction period and brooding period of the layer are different, the feed change work of the layer needs to be completed before laying, and there must be a certain transition time, do not change the feed suddenly.
- Raw grain feeding: It is recommended that farmers purchase raw materials to prepare feed according to the nutritional needs of laying hens. This can not only satisfy the nutrition of the laying hens, but also save a lot of feed costs.
- Use the anus to touch the egg: During the laying period, some farmers are accustomed to reaching into the anus of the chicken to touch the egg in order to observe the laying performance of the layer. This is very unscientific. Because the fingers are not hygienic, it is easy to bring bacteria to the chicken, causing local inflammation, redness, rupture, prolapse and other symptoms.
- Body fat: Laying hens are not broiler chickens and do not need to be too heavy. Excessive weight of layers will affect the laying performance of the laying hens. Fat accumulation of fat in the body will result in a sharp drop in egg production or stop production.
The above are the things that poultry equipment manufacturers can’t do to raise chickens in laying hen cages. Farmers implement scientific chicken raising and don’t do things that have an impact on chicken egg production.
