Pay attention to the skills of raising hens and drinking water in the layer cage systems

In the process of using the automatic layer cage system to raise chickens, all aspects of feeding and management will directly affect the egg production rate of the laying hens. As we all know, water is the source of life. Similarly, drinking water is very important in the growth and production of laying hens, especially in the laying period of laying hens. Whether the drinking water is reasonable will directly affect the laying rate of laying hens. So how should the laying hens drink water for the laying hens during the laying period?

1. Observe the drinking water rules and change the drinking water temperature according to the seasons: During the breeding process, farmers should be good at discovering and summarizing. Among them, we can know from daily observations that these three water drinking peaks occur every day for laying hens. 8 am, 12 noon, 6 pm. Therefore, farmers in these three stages must ensure that the laying hens drink enough water. If the laying hens cannot drink water or drink insufficient water during these three periods, it will quickly affect their egg production and health, like the winter weather. When it is cold and the temperature is low, farmers can drink warm water for laying hens. Warm water chickens love to drink it. It can also reduce body heat loss and enhance cold resistance, which is beneficial to chicken health and egg production. In hot summer, farmers can drink cold water for laying hens, which can speed up the free-range breeding of laying hens and increase the feed intake of laying hens.

2. Pay attention to changing the water consumption of laying hens: the water consumption required for the growth and production of laying hens in different seasons is different. Under normal circumstances, the daily water requirement of each chicken is about 110 ml in winter. About 280ml in summer. About 200 ml in spring and autumn. But when egg production increases, so does water demand. At this time, the egg production of chickens is vigorous and the metabolism is strengthened. Not only does the formation of eggs require water, but also the chickens eat a lot and need more water.

3. Water supply law: pay special attention to water supply during the peak egg production period of chickens, otherwise it will directly affect their egg production and health. Especially in the three peak times of drinking water for laying hens mentioned above, there should be no shortage of water.

The above is the laying hen equipment that the chicken cage manufacturers have arranged for farmers to raise laying hens. The "three skills" of scientific water supply for laying hens during egg laying are the key knowledge of laying hen breeding technology. When raising and managing laying hens, laying hen farmers should ensure the adequate and healthy drinking water of laying hens. Thereby, the egg production rate and egg production quality of laying hens can be improved, so as to increase the realization of laying hens' production benefits.
