The benefit of laying hens mainly depends on laying eggs. Ten ways to promote egg production in summer and autumn

1. Heat prevention and cooling: the optimum temperature for laying eggs is 13-25 ℃, and the best temperature is 20 ℃. In the hot season, the chicken coop needs to be protected against heat and cool down. The chicken house is built in a cool place with heat insulation and ventilation from the north to the south, and there are more pots with cold water in the chicken house. Spray cold water at noon to keep the henhouse ventilated, the temperature is suitable, and the laying rate is improved.

2. Feather cutting and heat dissipation: in hot season, cut off the feathers under the chest and abdomen, inner thighs and wings of laying hens, leave stubble 1.5cm, increase the heat dissipation of chicken body, reduce physical exertion, increase appetite, and increase the laying rate by 10%.

3. Install air duct: install an air duct at the top of each chicken cage to provide air conditioning, reduce the temperature of the chicken head and increase the laying rate by 10%.

4. Feeding tea: the tea is soaked in boiling water for half an hour, and the tea is fed to chickens with dregs several times a day, which can clear away heat and dampness, give birth to an appetizer, prevent and cure gastrointestinal diseases, and increase the egg production rate by 10%.

5. Feeding vitamin C: when it is hot and hot, the demand for vitamin C in chickens increases. Adding vitamin C to the diet can reduce body temperature, enhance the ability of chickens to cope with heat stress and disease resistance, reduce feed consumption, increase the effectiveness of calcium in bones, and increase the laying rate. According to the experiment, under the high temperature of 34 ℃, the laying rate increased by 9% when 200mg vitamin C was added to the diet of laying hens, and the laying rate was increased by 12% when 500mg was added.

6. Feeding baking soda: adding appropriate amount of baking soda to chicken feed can not only improve feed palatability and quality, but also neutralize stomach acid, improve feed utilization efficiency and energy conversion rate. According to the experiment, adding 5 grams of baking soda to the diet of laying hens can increase the laying rate by 5-10%, increase the hardness of eggshells and reduce the number of inferior eggs.

7. Feed celery: celery contains vitamins and trace elements, which can refresh heat and cool. When layers eat celery, the laying rate increases by 15-20%. Celery feeding chickens: ⑴ each layer is fed celery 3 times a week, 50g each time, celery leaves are fed alone, celery stems are chopped and mixed with formula feed. ⑵ 1kg celery boil in 2kg water for about 15 minutes, take juice for layers to drink.

8. Drink mung bean soup: mung bean can clear heat and detoxify, prevent heat and cool down. Take the right amount of mung beans, wash, add 10 times water, boil until peeled, let the chicken eat bean soup after cooling, several times a day, increase the laying rate by 10%.

9. Increase the feeding of green succulent feed: green succulent feed, cool and delicious, rich in vitamins, can clear heat and prevent heat, nourish the stomach and moisturize the body. According to the experiment, 50-60 grams of watermelon peel and carrots were added to each laying hen diet to increase the laying rate by 5-10%.

10. Carefully manage and prevent diseases. The chicken coop should be disinfected regularly. Eliminate faeces, do a good job in daily hygiene, feed carefully, and strictly put the disease through the mouth.
