Management of Laying Hens Before prenatal period

Feeding management before laying hens is very important. It is necessary to provide appropriate nutrition, strengthen daily management, and prevent diseases.

Strengthen daily management:

1, Create a suitable environment. The optimum temperature of the house should be maintained at 15-25 ° C, the relative temperature is maintained between 60% and 65%, and the unsuitable temperature and relative humidity will affect the egg production rate. It is necessary to do a good job of regulating the temperature according to the changes in the climate. In the summer, it is necessary to do a good job of preventing heatstroke and cooling, and in winter, it is necessary to strengthen warmth. Maintain proper stocking density, prevent the concentration of harmful gases in the house from being too high, and strengthen the ventilation and ventilation work of the house. It is very important to improve the freshness of the house and maintain proper temperature and humidity.

2, timely replacement of feed. Chickens in different growth stages and physiological stages have different nutritional requirements, so it is necessary to change the feed according to the condition of the chicken. Before the laying hens, in order to obtain high yield, the calcium content in the diet should be increased from the age of 17 weeks, so that the hens can accumulate enough calcium before the start of production to prepare for laying eggs, usually in production. When the egg rate reaches 5%, the amount of calcium can be increased to 2.5%, and when the egg production rate reaches 20%-30%, the calcium content of the diet is 3.5%.

3, Reduce stress. Try to reduce stress before starting production, so as not to affect the normal production and egg production after opening.

4, strengthen lighting management. Light has a great influence on the laying performance of laying hens. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the light management work of the laying hens before the start of production. 

5, to carry out reasonable feeding, to feed the laying hens before reasonable feeding, first of all, pay attention to the supply of calcium and phosphorus to meet the needs of egg production. Properly supplement protein and energy.

6, do a good job of disease prevention, so that the laying hens maintain a good body condition after the start of production, have a high antibody level and disease resistance, which is very important to improve feed utilization and egg production performance in poultry farm equipment manufacturer.
