How to maintain egg production when using chicken cages to raise chickens?

After the fall, the weather gradually becomes cooler, and the laying volume of laying hens should also gradually increase. In order to ensure higher laying performance of laying hens, better benefits are achieved. The author briefly introduces how to manage autumn when using layer rearing equipment to raise chickens.

Guarantee nutritional supply. After laying the laying hens, provide enough feed to ensure that the laying hens are free to eat. Generally, the laying hens eat 100-120 grams of feed per day, especially after the production, the feeding of the laying hens is insufficient, which affects the development of follicles. The weight loss after the egg leads to a low egg production rate in the later period.

Try to feed the full-price laying hen feed. Although corn and wheat bran are good feed ingredients, they lack protein, calcium and phosphorus. Even if the laying hens can get some minerals from the soil, they cannot meet the demand because of the small amount of minerals in the soil. If the laying hen is fed corn, wheat bran, bean cake, bone meal, salt, shells, and compound feed consisting of amino acids, trace elements and vitamins, it can ensure adequate nutrition of the laying hens, which can meet the weight development and production. Egg demand can also avoid nutritional deficiencies, such as licking feathers and lame legs. In addition, some laying hens are mistaken for expensive feed and cheap corn. In fact, the price of corn is comparable to that of laying hens. Feeding corn does not reduce costs.

Guaranteed lighting time. The laying hens were given 16 hours of light per day. According to the traditional farming experience, the laying hens will reduce the eggs after autumn, and the winter eggs will not be laid because the light time will be shorter after the summer solstice. To ensure a constant egg laying for a long time, constant illumination should be ensured. It is recommended to turn on the lights every morning at 4:30, turn off the lights after dawn during the day, turn on the lights before dark, and turn off the lights at 8:30 in the evening. Generally, it is 1~2 watts per square meter, but pay attention to using low-power energy-saving lamps as much as possible. The bulbs should be evenly distributed in the house, so that people can see the words on the ground at various positions of the house according to the normal distance.

Do a good job of ventilation and insulation measures in the house. The microclimate of the house has a great impact on the health and productivity of the laying hens, especially in the winter, and should be improved and created to create good microclimate conditions to ensure the health of the birds, prevent disease and maximize their production performance.

The above is what the farmers should pay attention to when they use the poultry farming equipment to raise chickens. Lighting equipment and insulation equipment are very important for the aquaculture industry in the cooling season. It is hoped that farmers should pay attention to it.
