Matters needing attention in laying hen feed

Laying hens are one of the main breeds of farmed chickens in China, and the consumption of eggs in our country is very large every year. When we raise laying hens, feed is very important for their growth. The nutritional ratio and type of feed have a direct impact on the growth of laying hens, so there are many places we need to pay attention to when feeding. So the editor today has brought you some notes on layer feed, let's take a look at it!

1. Feed formula

The nutrition ratio of feed has a great relationship with the growth of laying hens. When raising laying hens, we should adjust the feed formula reasonably according to the change of weather season and the age of laying hens. Can not feed a single feed for a long time, otherwise it will lead to lack of nutrition and decline in the quality of eggs. The emergence of soft eggs, smelly eggs and other bad guys. We should always observe the food intake of laying hens, if we find that the food intake of laying hens decreases. If there is no other reason, then the various nutrients in the feed should be improved in time to meet the nutritional needs of laying hens for growth and laying.

2. Nutrition proportion

When feeding, protein and energy are the key to ensure the healthy growth of laying hens. And in a way, energy plays a more important role in laying hens than protein. Energy is directly related to the laying rate of laying hens. Energy is essential in the growth and production of laying hens. On the other hand, farmers only pay attention to protein feeding. If the protein content is too high, the protein will produce a large amount of uric acid, which will lead to the ventilation of chickens and increase the cost of breeding. Therefore, we should balance the ratio of protein to energy in the feed to ensure the growth of laying hens.

3. Trace elements

The reasonable addition of some trace elements to the feed is beneficial to the growth of laying hens. However, if it is added too much, it will cause some reaction to the laying hens. It will not only increase feed costs, but also affect the absorption of other nutrients by laying hens. As a result, the growth of laying hens was seriously affected, on the contrary, the laying rate of laying hens and the weight of eggs were reduced. Therefore, when we feed, we should pay attention to observe the growth of laying hens. If there is a phenomenon of element deficiency, then it should be replenished in time, and if normal, then the dosage should be reduced.

4. Feed selection

When we feed laying hens, if we want to buy commercial feed from outside, then we should try to choose well-known and large-scale brands. Then the corresponding feed was selected according to the growth age of laying hens. For example, the laying hens are mainly fed with full-price feed during the breeding period, while concentrated feed is used after the breeding period. And when we choose and buy feed, we should pay attention to check the composition of the nutrient elements on the feed. Whether it meets the growth and nutrition standards of laying hens, and then when feeding plant feed such as corn, do not feed moldy feed.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention in laying hen feed, and the breeding of laying hens is relatively simple. However, feed is very important to the growth and production of layers, so we must pay attention to the selection of feed to ensure the growth of layers. That's all for today's introduction.
