During the management of laying hens in battery cage for layers, they will encounter stress caused by factors such as high temperature, low temperature, immunity, transfer, breaking, refueling, egg laying, water cut and power failure, and the growth and laying performance of the flock. The play has caused adverse effects. If the majority of the breeding managers actively take effective measures for prevention and control, the damage caused by stress can be minimized.
1. Farmers should start from the growth characteristics of laying hens to provide a good, quiet and comfortable growing environment for the laying hens. The control of temperature and humidity, as well as the management of ventilation should be scientific and reasonable, avoiding the sheds caused by poor ventilation. Moisture and air pollution, etc., to avoid the stress of environmental failure.
2. Farmers must ensure that the stability of feeding during the whole breeding process, such as laying water, feeding, disinfection and other environments, must be in order, time is regular, farmers should pay attention to not being able to break water, lack of materials .
3. During the breeding process, the farmers should control the environment of the chicken house, such as fixing the time of the switch lights, cooling the work in the summer, keeping warm in the winter, and preventing the adverse effects of high and low temperature on the laying hens. In the autumn when the temperature changes greatly, timely prevention and control measures should be taken. In the rainy season, work to prevent storms is also needed.
4. In the farm where the laying hens are raised, the farmers should be careful not to yell and scream, and pay attention to the chicken houses not to be built in noisy places.
5. The feed ingredients required for different growth stages of laying hens are different in poultry farming equipment. Therefore, the farmers must change the feed at a fixed stage, and there must be a transitional stage in the process of replacing the feed, so as to ensure the smooth adaptation of the chicken.
