How to raise turkey to make turkey lay more eggs

1. Set up more egg boxes in advance.

The turkey reaches sexual maturity at the age of 6 to 7 months and begins to lay eggs. Generally speaking, when the turkey is 5 months old, it is necessary to set up an egg box for 3 or 4 hens, so as to prevent the turkey from being unable to find a suitable laying place and postpone the laying period.

two。 The light is exciting.

The turkey should limit the light during the growing period. The light was 10 hours per day at the age of 5-6 months, 14 hours at the age of 6-9 months, and increased to 16-18 hours per day after 9 months of age. If the sunshine is insufficient, it should be assisted by artificial light with an intensity of 15 lux (3 ~ 4 watts / square meter). Light stimulation can prolong the laying period, increase the laying rate by 10%, and the eggs are large, uniform in size and strong in shell.

3. The nutrition is comprehensive.

During the laying period, the crude protein content of turkey feed can reach 23% to 28%, and the metabolic energy is 12.1 trillion coke per kilogram, ensuring the laying turkey's demand for vitamins and trace elements.

4. Adequate drinking water and feeding science.

Turkeys should increase clean drinking water during the laying period, so as to "change water frequently and keep water". Turkeys are fed at 9 am and 3 pm every day, which are directly related to the number of eggs laid.

5. There are many other auxiliary methods.

Adding a small amount of manganese to the chicken feed can make the hens produce hard-shell eggs, but the eggshell thickness does not increase, improving the efficiency of laying eggs; adding methionine and 0.05% choline can save 50% of the feed and increase the laying rate by 5%-8%. It can also add a certain amount of traditional Chinese medicine additives such as moxa leaf, Bupleurum, Scutellaria baicalensis, prickly ash and licorice, which can not only improve the laying rate, but also prevent disease.

6. Adjust the hatchability.

Turkeys are particularly nesting, hatching naturally for every 1520 eggs, regardless of season and having nothing to do with the outside world. In order to improve the laying rate of turkeys, the way of "combining two and one" can be used for natural hatching or artificial hatching, so that female turkeys with nesting behavior can wake up in time so that they can enter the laying period in time. In this way, the annual egg production of female turkeys can be increased from 80,120 eggs to 150,190 eggs.

7. Often deworming and replenishing.

Laying hens were treated with furazolidone 0.04% or Chicongjing tablets once at the age of 3-4 months, and 5-6-month-old hens should be dewormed with levamisole or Chicongjing tablets once before giving birth, so as to achieve the purpose of sorting out the flocks. Sand grains the size of rice grains were fed every 2 weeks after 4 months of age, accounting for 1% or 2% of the diet.
