The poultry farming industry in Ghana has been continuously improving, and the farmers who raise the laying hens have also greatly improved their economic benefits. In terms of farming technology, it is also constantly changing, making farmers easier and more efficient in the breeding process. Then the author will talk about the important points of modern farming techniques using chicken cages for chickens.
1. Configure feed according to nutritional standards: Many farmers choose cheap feed to save on feed costs. However, the generally cheap feed does not meet the demand for laying hens. Although the cost of feed is reduced, the lack of nutrients in the hens will affect health and production, and it will undoubtedly increase costs invisibly. Therefore, farmers should choose reasonable feed ingredients according to the nutritional needs of different stages of laying hens. And pay attention to the quality of the feed, the feed ingredients require fresh and mold-free, pay attention to the storage of the feed.
2. When feeding, add more feed and feed more than a few times: some farmers will feed the feed one day at a time when feeding the laying hens for the convenience of the map. But as soon as this is done, the egg will be wasted and the remaining feed will be wasted. Therefore, when adding the feed, it should be a small number of times, and each feeding should not exceed 1/3 of the trough. At the same time, it is necessary to supply sufficient clean drinking water to feed high-quality fresh green and juicy feed. In addition, farmers can add sand to the feed to facilitate digestion.
3. Scientific use of feed additives: The scientific and rational use of some additives is helpful for the production of flocks. The authors suggest that farmers should add 3% to 5% of the fat in the diet of the laying hens, which can increase the egg production rate by 10% to 12%. Adding 0.02% to 0.1% of vitamin C to the diet can increase the egg production rate by 4% and increase the feed utilization rate by 8% to 10%. Adding 50mg/kg of tryptophan to the diet can increase the egg production rate by 10%. In addition, the addition of bacitracin zinc, benzimycin, etc. to the diet can prevent disease and increase egg production rate.
4. Control the environment of the chicken house: the chicken house where the laying hens are raised, whether the temperature and humidity are reasonable, is very important for the laying of the laying hens. Before the laying hens lay eggs, the suitable temperature of the house is 13 ~ 23 ° C, the humidity is 50% ~ 55%, too high or low temperature, humidity will lead to feed utilization, egg production decreased. The hens can use the gap light for 16 hours a day, and the light intensity is based on the chickens who can see the foraging. In addition, there is also the density of laying hens. When using chicken cages to raise chickens, do not exceed 10/m2, but the winter feeding density can be increased by about 30%.
5. Do a good job of forced moulting: laying hens are a must-have thing, but many farmers choose to force moulting for laying hens in order to reduce the benefits of laying hens during moulting. In this way, the laying hens can be moultened more quickly, and it will not affect the laying performance, which is an indispensable part of modern laying hen culture.
The above six points are some of the breeding technical points that the author tells farmers about the use of poultry farming equipment for modern laying hens. If in the process of raising the chicken, the farmers want to improve the efficiency of some ways and means, hope to help the farmers, if you have other questions, please contact us!
