Secret of raising chickens: the ingenious use of gypsum powder in native chicken breeding

When it comes to plaster, we first think of building plaster, such as plaster sculpture, chalk and so on.

In fact, there are many kinds of gypsum, there are construction, chemical, and edible grade, such as the tofu we eat, is ordered with gypsum, of course, is non-toxic and safe to eat.

Gypsum is commonly used in industry and daily life, so what are the functions of gypsum powder in agriculture and chicken industry?

1) treatment of feather pecking and anal pecking

The role of Xiaolongnu teacher's primary introduction is to treat feather pecking and anal pecking. Recently, many netizens have asked me this question. Today, Xiaolongnu teacher will briefly introduce the cause of the disease. Please write it down carefully.

Feather pecking and anal pecking is a kind of pica, which is generally due to the high density of chickens, stress (sudden change of feed, change of environment, etc.), lack of trace elements (such as multivitamins, sulfur amino acids), excessive light, and so on.

When you encounter a feather-pecking anus, make adjustments according to the actual situation, it is best to isolate the pecked chickens, and then add about 2% gypsum powder to the feed for three consecutive days.

2) Auxiliary treatment of chicken Escherichia coli

As edible gypsum has the effect of converging muscle formation, when chickens get E. coli, 1% or 2% gypsum powder can be added to chicken feed to assist in the treatment of Escherichia coli.

3) supplement calcium to hens

When the egg production of chickens decreases, soft-shell eggs and thin-shell eggs increase, or some native chickens peck eggs after laying eggs, it is also a sign of lack of calcium. At this time, if 0.5%-1% gypsum powder can be added to the chicken feed and used with cod liver oil, the calcium supplement effect is obvious.

The above three points are the main role of gypsum powder, but chicken netizens need to pay attention to that gypsum powder must not be bought into construction, must buy edible grade gypsum powder, remember!
