If the management of poultry layer battery cages is not in place, the egg production of layer hens will decrease. The quality of eggs has declined. This requires farmers to do better in breeding management, disease prevention and other aspects.
First, daily management. Observe the spirit, appetite, and feces of the chickens every morning and evening when feeding. Those with mental atrophy, loss of appetite, and abnormal stools must be further isolated for examination.
Second, adjust the flock appropriately. Weak chickens, discontinued chickens, weak chickens, rigid chickens, chickens with severe habit, chickens with short laying time, and diseased chickens that are overweight or fat or thin, and have no therapeutic value, should be eliminated in time. Leave chickens with good production performance, strong physique, and normal laying.
Three, increase feed nutrition. The flock of chickens has gone through a long period of egg laying and hot summers. The chicken body is already very tired. After the fall, you should feed more animal protein feeds to subsidize the chickens that have not yet moulted to continue to produce. , To promote the moulted chickens to quickly grow into feathers and resume production as soon as possible. Because the chicken’s nerves are very sensitive at this time, when adding more nutritious feed, it must be added slowly to prevent the chicken’s nerves from being stimulated and moulting will stop production.
Fourth, reduce the impact of climate change. Make the microclimate in the chicken coop not change too much, and reduce the temperature difference between day and night.
Fifth, control the density and group reasonably. According to the age, rearing and ventilation conditions, etc., group breeding is carried out. Also pay attention to the breeding density.
The above are the measures to reduce disease of laying hens summarized by the automated chicken cages suppliers. It is hoped that the farmers will do a good job in the management of the chicken coop and raise healthy chickens with more eggs.
