A quiet environment for laying hens is very important.

No one is looking for me. I want to be quiet, and don't ask me who Jing is. Sometimes people do need quiet space, but today is the first time I have heard that "quiet" plays an important role in laying hen breeding.

In general, laying hens have reached the peak of egg production at the age of 36 to 37 weeks, which is precisely the time when they are most vulnerable to disturbance. There are many causes of shock, such as sudden noise, flashing light, lack of water and supplies, excessive density, keepers wearing strange clothes, birds passing by or airplanes flying by. In addition, there are also reasons for excessive magnesium in feed.

When laying hens are raised in winter, the henhouses are more airtight, and many farmers even cancel the egg movement in spring, summer and autumn, which is actually a relatively quiet period for laying hens. Especially for caged laying hens, especially in places where few people patronize, laying hens tend to be scared. In fact, the layers raised in this way are highly excitable. once stimulated by a certain factor, panic suddenly appears in the flock, and this panic can easily spread throughout the henhouse, causing a flock of chickens to riot, struggling desperately in the cage, flapping their wings, and screaming one after another. In serious cases, some chicken wings are broken, some layers bleed, and some even cause death. The result of the shock group is very serious, which often leads to a continuous decrease in the egg laying rate at this stage of shock, resulting in greater economic losses.

Chickens that have not been disturbed by the outside world are very neurotic and prone to intermittent "frying" phenomenon. Many experienced farmers have a deep understanding of this. In general, hens stretch their heads and necks high and their eyes are wide open, showing a high state of tension. At the slightest movement, they scream and fly randomly, affecting the whole henhouse, and sometimes there is no obvious stimulating factor. In addition to deaths and injuries, the laying rate of hens often decreases, soft-shell eggs appear, and the rate of broken eggs increases significantly. the adverse consequences caused by panic attacks are huge losses to farmers.
