Calcium is one of the most important nutrients for the growth and development of chickens in poultry farming equipment for sale. If the intake of calcium is insufficient, it will affect the quality of the eggshell and the rate of egg production. If it is excessive, it will cause indigestion, and It will reduce the feed intake and egg production of chickens and affect the production performance and reduce the feeding efficiency. Therefore, in order to solve this contradiction, it is necessary to take scientific calcium supplementation.
First, in order to make chickens produce more eggs, high-quality eggs should be supplemented with calcium feed two weeks before laying. The content of calcium in the feed of laying hens is preferably 3%-3.5%. This will prevent calcium deficiency in the chicken body, but not the calcium source in the bone marrow, and the chicken’s demand for calcium during normal egg production.
Second, within 8 hours to 10 hours after the laying of the chicken, the chicken does not need calcium for the time being, but only a large amount of calcium is needed when the eggshell is formed at night, because the chicken has limited ability to retain calcium in the body, and excess calcium. It will be excreted very quickly, so it is best to supplement the chicken with high calcium feed at 12-18 am every day. Because calcium is absorbed into the blood at this time, it can be directly used for the formation of eggshells at night, which is beneficial to maintain the balance of calcium in the chicken body and make the chickens produce more eggs.
Third, the addition of appropriate amount of vitamins in the feed, promote the metabolism of calcium in the body, can also improve the composition of the eggshell, improve eggshell hardness and egg production. When purchasing full-price laying hen feed, it is better to choose high-quality full-price batch materials produced by regular large-scale manufacturers. Various stress factors can affect the absorption and utilization of calcium by chickens. Due to the influence of stress, the egg laying process and egg laying time can be prolonged, and the eggshell color becomes pale. Therefore, in the feeding process, the stress factor stimulation should be minimized, so that the chickens can maintain proper
density and temperature, and the color and quality of the eggshell can be improved, and the chickens can ensure high yield and stable yield and increase feeding efficiency.
