Feeding and management techniques of laying hens

Laying hens are mainly used for egg production, so we need to choose laying hens with high laying rate, large egg production, rapid growth and early maturity. There is a certain difference between the breeding of laying hens and the breeding management of broilers, so how to carry out breeding and management of laying hens? Let's take a look at the introduction of the management technology of laying hens.

1. Management of the rearing period

We need to disinfect the purchased chicks and then put them into the farm, which needs comprehensive disinfection management before breeding. The second is to do a good job in the hygiene of the farm and keep the breeding environment clean and tidy. We should provide adequate drinking water every day, when the drinking water is mainly brown sugar water or glucose water. The chicks are divided into groups according to the strength of the chicks, so that they can be fed scientifically and improve the survival rate of brooding. In addition, the laying hens in the brooding stage have relatively strict requirements on temperature, humidity and light. during this period, the indoor temperature had better be controlled between 30 and 35 degrees, and then the temperature drops by two degrees every other week. The humidity of the farm was controlled at about 70% at the initial stage of brooding, and decreased to between 55% and 65 at the later stage. Finally, according to the chicken's day age, reasonably control the light duration, one to three days old light duration is 23:00, four days to half a month time is eighteen, and then slowly return to normal.

2. Management of the breeding period

The health management during the breeding period should be carried out normally, which is a necessary daily management work in every growth stage. When the chicks grow to the period of seven to twenty weeks, we should first do a good job of herding. We should select sick, weak and disabled chickens, and then switch to another group. At the same time, we should avoid stress reactions in the process of switching. The second is to control the weight of laying hens, limit the feed intake of laying hens, and reduce the accumulation of fat in order to improve the quality of laying hens. In addition, we should pay attention to the density management and light control of breeding, and the light duration of laying hens should not exceed 16 hours at most. Finally, it is necessary to strictly follow the immunization process to prevent the occurrence of chicken plague or other diseases and insect pests.

3. Management of laying period

The first thing to do during the laying period of laying hens is to grasp the time of changing materials, to change materials in time, and to replenish nutrition. The second is to reasonably control the duration and intensity of light, generally 16 hours, the intensity is twice as strong as the breeding period, which can play a role in stimulating production. The last is its management in the laying period, we are generally divided into three stages, namely, the first laying period, the peak period, and the later stage of egg production. In the first birth period to pay attention to change, and timely replenishment of water, to avoid stress reaction, at the same time need to use a drug to prevent salpingitis. During the peak laying period of laying hens, what we need to do is to prolong the laying period and increase the laying rate, which means that the feed supply should be stable, and there should be no disconnection, water or power outage, and the breeding conditions in all aspects should also be balanced. The late stage of egg laying is also called the final production period, we need to change the material again, reduce the grade of feed, pay attention to calcium supplement, and the best epidemic prevention work.

The above is the breeding and management technology of laying hens, Xiaobian here to share with you is a simple feeding and management process. If you are interested and want to know more details, please follow us or leave a message below.
