Following the advancement of layer chicken cages manufacturing technology, cage chickens have become a breeding equipment used by professional chicken farmers over the years. layer cages have a great advantage both in culture density and egg production value. Although caged chickens have many advantages, they also have shortcomings, such as egg shells and egg shells are easily broken. So what do you do with this situation?
What should I do if the cage egg shell is fragile? The five major protection measures should be in place.
1. Layer cage planning should be reasonable
Use layer chicken cages to raise chickens. In the selection of chicken cages, it is necessary to select chicken cages with better quality and higher technology, purchase qualified poultry equipment manufacturers of quality products, do a good job of repairing and nursing work, and set up cages for chickens. It is better to adjust the viewpoint to 7°~8°.
2. Increase the number of eggs you pick up
When the eggs are densely packed in the egg trough, they are broken due to bumping each other, and some eggs are even stuck in the cage and the chickens are trampled on the net. Properly adding the number of quail eggs can avoid these conditions. Generally speaking, the number of quail eggs can be 4 to 5 times a day. Try to avoid the overnight stay of eggs in the cage.
3. Late management of cage chickens should be strengthened
The quality of the eggshell is closely related to the amount of calcium absorbed by the laying hens.Caged chickens can improve the quality of their eggshells by supplementing them with calcium.Usually choose in the afternoon of the cage chicken alone calcium supplements, especially middle-aged chickens and elderly chickens to absorb calcium can decline, more need to strengthen the calcium supplement.
4. Fill light at night
Chicken farmers will encounter soft-shell eggs or shell-free eggs in the afternoon. This is because the eggshells produced in the afternoon are usually formed at night, because the lack of light in the egg cage makes the eggshell calcification lack, the test confirmed that at night. Fill light can improve the thickness of the eggshell, reduce the eggshell breakage rate and the incidence of soft shell eggs and shellless eggs.
5. Feeding full-price cooperative feed
The main factor for eggshell cages to be easily damaged is the lack of nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. The full-price cooperative feed is based on the nutrient requirements of caged chickens and is formulated with a certain share of various nutrients. The protein content of the chicken food in the egg cage can be added to make up for the calcium and to increase the thickness of the eggshell.
