Environmental management during the laying period

In hot summer, the temperature of laying hens should not be higher than 30℃, and the temperature in winter should not be lower than 8℃. The humidity in the house should be controlled at 60%. Pay attention to ventilation. Ventilation, keeping low carbon dioxide concentration and ammonia concentration within a reasonable range. The light during the laying period cannot be reduced, but can only be increased, and the time is controlled at about 15 hours.

Egg production management

The laying hens in the laying period need to be transferred before laying eggs to ensure better adaptation to the environment. Generally, the earliest circling can be performed at 17 to 18 weeks of age, and the latest cannot exceed 22 weeks. Timely group transfer can help to lay hens better adapt to the environment. The calcium in the feed of laying hens should be increased correspondingly 10 days before the start of production or after laying the first egg, to ensure the egg production of the chickens. At the same time, trace elements and minerals should be put in the environment to increase the nutrition of the laying hens. In Cage Egg Breeding, when the egg production is adjusted to 5%, it is necessary to replace the appropriate full-price laying hen feed and to eat ad libitum at the beginning of egg production until 2 weeks after the peak of egg production, which can fully to ensure the need for egg production. Calcium supplementation during the laying period should be carried out when necessary, for example, calcium supplementation too early is not conducive to calcium deposition. Newcastle disease, avian influenza, and other vaccines should be vaccinated before using Laying Egg Chicken Equipment, which can reduce the stress response during the peak egg production period. At the same time, after laying eggs, clean the chicken coop and chicken cage, sterilize the utensils, and feed the feed gently to reduce the occurrence of stress.
