Taboos and precautions for laying hen breeding
April 09,2021
Eggs are now indispensable for people, and the eggs we usually buy in supermarkets are born from laying hens. As the main source of income for laying hens, we have to spend more thoughts on laying hens. If you don't pay attention, the laying hens are very likely to have problems and cause a lot of losses, which will definitely bring great pain to the breeders.
Understanding the taboos and precautions of layer farms will bring you great benefits, which will reduce your subsequent troubles.
Breeding taboos
There are many taboos and precautions in layer farms, which you also need to check. Use faucet tap to clean up or replace plastic drinker with legs to prevent diseases from entering the mouth. After all, the water source is the most important thing. They need to drink a lot of water a day. So don't be vague.
Non-mixed farming
Some small-scale farms keep chickens, ducks, geese and other water-based birds together. Ducks and geese are water-based birds. The environment in which chickens grow is easily caused by the dampness of the raised ducks and geese. Chickens prefer a dry environment. This allows chickens to live in an unsuitable environment, which can easily lead to chicken disease. Ducks and geese are relatively larger than laying hens, and they will compete for survival with chickens. In addition, if the chickens are frightened for a long time, they will have stress and cause loss of appetite. They will not dare to compete with ducks and geese for food. It has an impact on the healthy growth of chickens and the egg production rate. This can have a major impact on your economy.
Do not ventilate and clean manure in time
If the house is not ventilated, and the feces are not cleaned in time, a lot of ammonia is produced, the air is dirty, and the possibility of respiratory diseases is high.
Don't pay attention to the rearing of chickens
Many farmers believe that their chickens have not laid eggs, and the mortality rate before laying is low, and they will be kept until they lay. In the end, the abdominal fat deposition is insufficient, the egg production rate of the chicken is low, and the anus prolapses and the anus is more frequent, and the loss is great.
Unscientific use of feed
First of all, the feed produced by your feed manufacturer has passed the metal detector with push level reject system, make sure that it does not contain other metal impurities, otherwise it will also affect the chicken. Chicken feed cannot be set in stone, the phase feed should be replaced, and the formula should be changed with the change of seasons. It is cold in winter, high-energy and low-protein; hot in summer, diarrhea is frequent, high-energy and high-protein feed should be used, chicken intestines are short, bran is difficult to absorb, and feed is easily wasted.
Unscientific medication
Some chicken farmers give chickens E. coli drugs or fallopian tube drugs. After these western drugs enter the intestinal tract, harmful and beneficial bacteria will be killed. After the beneficial bacteria in the intestines are killed, the intestinal absorption is not good. In addition, please use big aluminum glitter powder to mark the sick chickens. Different colors represent different degrees or symptoms. .
"No" scientific use of vaccines
Chicken farmers generally use freeze-dried vaccines to prevent Newcastle disease. In fact, freeze-dried vaccines of line IV clone 30 are all attenuated vaccines, and generally cannot prevent virulent Newcastle disease. Don’t neglect this question: try to vaccinate chickens as far as possible during the peak period of egg production, because during the laying period, the body functions of the chickens will have to be changed. If you vaccinate the chickens at this time, it will cause the chickens themselves. If the regulation is out of balance, it will lead to a drop in the egg production rate of chickens. When vaccinating chickens, avoid vaccination during the laying period. However, in reality, according to the immunization procedure, the laying period requires vaccination. In this case, it is best to inject in the afternoon. Add double the amount of vitamins to the chicken to prevent stress. When the chicken is in the laying period, try to avoid causing big movements. Give the chicken a quiet environment so that the chicken cannot be frightened. The frightened chicken will also reduce production. Egg rate, not even egg production. Open room lights, such as multiple flicker free cob downlights, Avoid being too dark to omit. Injectors remember to wear disposable facemask and gloves.
"Don't" scientifically add grease
When the feed energy is not enough, add fat, but not too much. You can add cooked soybean oil at a ratio of 1%, which is not easy to be too high, otherwise it is easy to spoil, easily cause digestive disorders of the chickens, and cause feed waste.
"Don't" use scientific and efficient breeding equipment
Do not use bad breeding equipment. Breeding equipment is often one of the important factors related to the health of chickens. Fully automated and intelligent breeding equipment can reduce labor costs and comprehensive energy saving, which can effectively reduce the incidence of diseases and reduce the increase in drug expenditures. Production efficiency increases profits.
Three main points of laying hen breeding
At the fifth day of age
The chickens are basically finalized when they die, but three elements are needed to reduce the chicken’s death: high-quality chicks, suitable temperature and humidity, and high-quality medicine.
35 days old for life
The uniformity of laying hens affects the later stage of laying rate, the higher the uniformity, the better. On the thirty-fifth day of laying hens, chickens with poor physique must be selected and raised separately and supplemented with good nutrition. The uniformity and weight at this time determine the later period of laying rate, egg size, peak time, and elimination of chickens. Quantity and so on.
Suggested plan: The selected weak chickens are raised separately, and when the difference is large, light can be appropriately supplemented to promote feeding. Attachment: Adding more light to the laying hens before 70 days of age has no effect on laying. (Chickens with weak physique can use nutrients to increase nutrition and gain weight)
High yield at 80 days old
The eighty-day-old layer is when the ovaries and fallopian tubes of the layer begin to develop. At this time, they are most susceptible to infection with bacteria such as large rods and salmonella, which can cause poor development of the fallopian tubes and ovaries of the layer and refractory inflammation of the fallopian tubes in the later period, which leads to the late peak. The period is not high, the quality of the eggshell is not good, and the inflammation of the fallopian tube should not be eliminated.
4 considerations for breeding egg farms
When the egg production rate is 5%
At this time, the chickens have just started to produce, and they are most prone to endocrine disorders and spleen and stomach disorders, which are manifested as sparse and unformed feces, slow feeding, and low resistance. And this is the period of high-speed follicle development and fallopian tube formation, so it is necessary to regulate the spleen, stomach and endocrine, supplement nutrition and increase the body's resistance at this time.
When the egg production rate is 50%
At this time, most chicken flocks have started to lay, the fallopian tubes are more stressed, and fallopian tube inflammation and anus pecking are prone to occur. The follicle develops rapidly, requires more nutrients and the liver and kidney load is larger. At this time, the body's resistance is low. Therefore, at this time, the chickens should mainly reduce inflammation, regulate the fallopian tube, increase resistance, and supplement balanced nutrition.
When the egg production rate is 90%
At this time, the egg production rate is officially at its peak, but there are still 10% of the laying hens that have not lay eggs. If you want to achieve greater egg production performance, you need to do three things:
1. Use Chinese medicine that promotes the development of fallopian tubes to promote the development of follicles.
2. Eliminate inflammation of fallopian tubes.
3. Supplement nutrition to increase body resistance
When the egg production rate drops to 85%
Under normal circumstances, when the egg production rate of chickens drops to 85%, the storage in the body begins to be insufficient. This is also the period when the body's tissues and organs begin to age and the digestion and absorption functions are declining. So if you don't pay attention at this time, it is most likely to happen that the egg production rate drops quite quickly.
No one is willing to raise very few laying hens in the end. This is the most undesirable situation and the most painful. In addition, pay attention to regular cleaning and replacement of drinking water equipment. If you need a professional poultry farm equipemnt parts manufacturer, we hope to be your choice. When you are choosing chicken nipple drinker with drip cup or other equipments, we hope we can be your option.
