In the process of laying hens in layer cages, when the laying rate of laying hens reaches more than 80%, the flock enters the peak period of laying eggs. Generally this period is only 3 months, if farmers take some reasonable measures, it can be extended by one to two months.
The first thing is to provide sufficient protein. Eggs are rich in protein. Therefore, during the laying period of laying hens, farmers must ensure the intake of protein feed for laying hens. Generally, for every 10% increase in egg production rate, the protein level in the diet increases by 1%.
Use layer cages to raise chickens. Now automatic layer chicken cages are widely used in farms. It is a modern new breeding method. Using it can effectively increase the number of breeding, and can keep the chickens in a comfortable environment. This way the egg production will naturally be higher.
Adequate light. Light plays a vital role in the process of laying hens. The egg production and egg quality of laying hens are closely related to light. Appropriate amount of light can increase the feed intake of chickens, stimulate gonadal development, and increase egg weight, which is directly related to the economic income of farmers.
Ensure that the flock is healthy. Farmers want to maintain a good egg production rate in their chicken flocks, and the health of several flocks is the most important. Especially the laying hens in the peak period of egg production. At this time, the chicken flock is under great production stress, and the chicken’s resistance is weak and easy to get sick. Farmers should pay special attention to the environment and drinking water sanitation. Take care not to allow the flock to be contaminated by bacteria.
