Last Updated: 2024/12/23, After entering summer, some chickens often lay soft-shell eggs. Although the laying rate of chickens is not low, the number of soft-shell eggs increases. What is the reason for this? There are two reasons for this: one is that chickens lay eggs in large quantities, and the calcium and phosphorus in the feed cannot meet the needs of eggshell formation. Second, chickens due to a large number of eggs and gradually hot weather, its physique significantly decreased, chicken gastrointestinal digestion and absorption of calcium, phosphorus utilization greatly weakened.

After entering summer, some chickens often lay soft-shell eggs. although the laying rate of chickens is not low, the number of soft-shell eggs increases. What is the reason for this? There are two reasons for this: first, chickens lay a large number of eggs, and the calcium and phosphorus in the feed can not meet the needs of eggshell formation. Second, due to a large number of eggs laid and the weather gradually hot, the physique of the chicken decreased obviously, and the digestion, absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus in the stomach and intestines of the chicken was greatly weakened.

So, how can we solve this problem? In summer, enough mineral feed such as bone powder, stone powder and shell powder must be added to the feed and prepared by special processing. The method is: put the bone meal into the pot, then add an appropriate amount of vinegar (about 3%) to heat and stir, then add it to the feed and mix it evenly. After this treatment, the calcium in vinegar and bone meal acts chemically to produce soluble calcium acetate. Calcium acetate is easily digested and absorbed by the stomach, intestines and body of chickens, and the effect is fast and significant. This method is the best and most effective measure to prevent soft eggs laid by chickens in summer. Please give it a try.
