Analysis of Several Factors Influencing Peak Egg Production of Laying Hens

Laying hens are specialized for laying eggs. In the breeding process, the production of laying hens often encounters a group of laying hens that can not enter the production peak, resulting in reduced egg production and low economic returns. Here are some of the reasons why egg-laying hens have not reached the peak of egg production from years of experience in raising chickens. I hope to be helpful.

1. Breeding density is too high. Because of capital and site constraints, the average breeding population is oversized. For example, the first week of brooding density is generally 30 per square meter, and the actual high double is more common, even 2-3 times higher. Some households from the chicken into the cage on the cage the same density, early can not be grouped on time, 6-week-old body size, weight is difficult to achieve the standard, a direct impact on brooding, bred chicken quality. This is the most important factor. We can consider expanding the site or reducing the amount of breeding to achieve high yield and high efficiency. 2. Poor ventilation. 3. Flock uniformity is poor. Because of the different development of chickens, chickens can only be switched between feeding and drinking for several times without increasing the number of barrels and drinking fountains. The number and quality of feeds per chicken varies, resulting in flock uniformity. difference. 4. Different batches of chicken polyculture. Individual farms (households), in the same chicken house into different age groups of chickens, due to different feeding and management, different disease prevention and control measures, different lighting systems and other factors, resulting in the entire chicken house chicken laying rate is biased low. 5. The maturation of mature precursors and sexual maturity are not synchronized. 6. Insufficient light intensity or intensity during the laying period. Light intensity also affects egg production. If the layer can be used for 14-15 hours of light per day, and the light intensity is suitable, then it can meet the needs of the peak period of egg production. For light time and light intensity, we recommend using a light box. The light box is very convenient because it can be considered to provide light of any value and time. If the light box is used for seed cultivation, it can also be called a precision seed germination box. In general, we can only manually adjust, such as the current use of the 16-hour lighting system. Be sure to switch light on time when filling light, otherwise it will disturb the response of the layer of chicken to light stimulation. The electric light should be installed at a height of 1.8-2 meters from the ground. The distance between the lamp and the lamp is equal. A 40 watt light bulb should only be gradually extended for supplementary lighting. When entering the peak period, the light should be relatively stable and the intensity should be suitable.
