The chicken industry has a long history. With the continuous development of the chicken industry and the times, the methods and methods of raising chickens are more and more advanced and convenient. In the process of raising chickens for many years, many farmers have also practiced in addition to many chicken tips and techniques that can make the flock grow better. The following authors focus on farmed laying hens and tell you about the techniques for making laying hens more productive in the process of using layer chicken cages to raise laying hens.
1. Timely supplementation of vitamin C during laying period: During daily feeding, farmers can choose to add 0.02% vitamin C to the diet of laying hens. According to many farmers’ practices, the use of vitamin C can increase the egg production rate of laying hens by 11%.
2. Feeding eggshell powder during laying period: We all know that the production of eggs and the growth of laying hens require a lot of protein. The eggshell powder in the feed ingredients contains a lot of protein, which is what the laying hen needs. Therefore, the farmer can crush or chop the eggshell and add an appropriate amount of eggshell powder to the laying hen’s feed, which can increase the egg production rate by about 10%.
3. Feeding the laying hens with baking soda: During the feeding process, the farmers feed the laying hens with baking soda. Not only can it improve the performance of the laying hen, but it can also strengthen the hardness of the eggshell. Adding 0.3%-1% baking soda to the laying hen diet can increase the productivity of the laying hen.
4. In summer, the laying hens should cut the feathers: the summer weather is hot, in order to reduce the calories of the hens and increase their appetite. Farmers can cut off the chest and abdomen of the laying hens, as well as the feathers inside the thighs and under the wings, which will increase their appetite and improve the performance of the laying hens.
5. It is necessary to control the reasonable illumination: in the process of feeding the laying hens, whether the lighting time of the laying hens is evenly sufficient every day will also affect the production performance of the laying hens. The laying hens are given 8 hours of light per day during the laying period of the laying hens. After each additional week, the light is increased by half an hour until it reaches the peak of the laying period of the laying hens 14-16 hours until the end of the laying of the eggs. The egg production of chickens will increase significantly.
6. Fold the wings when raising the chicks: Within 12-24 hours after the chicks are shelled, the farmer can cut off the roots of the wings with scissors, then use 50 watts of electric iron to stop the bleeding, and then apply purple syrup for disinfection. After doing so, the laying date of the laying hen can be 10.5 days ahead of schedule, and its egg production rate will also increase by 10.8%.
The above is the method of increasing the egg production of laying hens when using poultry farming equipment. Farmers are advised to use them as appropriate, and do not use hard cases.
