Safety essentials of raising chickens efficiently

The secret of adding eggs in summer

In summer, the feed intake of chickens decreased, egg production decreased or even stopped. In order to restore normal egg production, in addition to heat prevention and cooling, shearing is also an effective way to cut off the feathers of the chicken's chest, legs and left and right wings, and retain the feathers of the neck, back and tail. The shearing length is based on the principle that the chicken skin is not damaged and the coarse capillary section does not flow. Cut less in early summer and more in midsummer.

Second, the best feeding time

Chickens have two feeding peaks in a day, one is 2-3 hours after sunrise, and the feed intake is 1 minute 3 in the morning, when feeding at this time, the laying rate can be greatly increased. It can be seen that the feeding effect of laying hens at 9 am and 3 pm is the best.

Third, the main points of saving materials for raising chickens.

The yolk and egg whites of eggs are formed during the day, while the shells are formed in the afternoon and night. The laying hens were fed twice a day, high protein, high energy and low calcium feed in the morning and low protein, low energy and high calcium feed in the evening, which can not only adjust the laying period, increase egg production, but also save feed.

Fourth, the method of ensuring high yield of chicken

For example, the weight of the chicken population did not grow normally. Even if the current egg production and feed returns are high, the potential downward trend of egg production can be corrected by increasing consumption before the decline in egg production. If feed consumption is obviously at a high level, it only means that a lot of feed consumption or at least indicates that the feed reward is low, if the feed is obviously at a low level, while the chicken population is growing again and maintains a high egg production, it can be maintained and can make a lot of money.

5. Tips for hatching more hens

The breeding eggs are short oval, one is larger, the other is smaller, inverted triangle, the surface is meticulous, most of the hatched chickens are hens; the breeding eggs are long-horned, difficult to separate head and tail, and the surface is rough, and most of the hatched chickens are Roosters.

VI. Key points for storing breeding eggs

When storing breeding eggs, the tip of the egg should be made upward, so that the yolk can be located in the center of the egg, prevent embryo adhesion and improve the hatching rate of breeding eggs.

7. The method of increasing the color of eggs

Adding 0.3% red chili powder, 6% sun-dried crushed alfalfa leaves or 5% pine needle powder to the diet can deepen the color of the egg yolk.

8. Distinguish the key points between male and female chickens

Pull out the chicken wings, if you see that the feathers of the wings are long and short (that is, the feathers are short and long), it is the hen, and if you see that all the feathers are basically the same length, it is the rooster, with an accuracy of more than 90%.

9. Tips for preventing chicken plague

When the chicks reached the age of 10-14 days, the chicken plague IN vaccine was used for nasal drip, and the inactivated chicken plague vaccine (sold at local veterinary stations) was injected intramuscularly. At the age of 70 days, the chicken plague I vaccine was injected intramuscularly, and at the age of 120 days, the chicken plague I vaccine was injected again, and at the same time, the inactivated chicken plague vaccine was injected intramuscularly once, and the protection rate could reach 100%.
