How to prevent chickens from laying soft-shell eggs

The eggs laid by hens are generally hard-shell, but sometimes some soft-shell eggs are produced. They do not have a hard shell, only a thick film wraps the inside of the egg, some are white, and some are transparent. Why? How can we prevent chickens from laying soft-shell eggs?

I. the cause of occurrence

1. Nutrition

In general, the composition of egg hard shell is mainly formed by calcium, if lack of calcium can not form eggshell. A large amount of phosphorus is needed in the egg yolk, which plays an important role in the formation of eggshells, bones and cells. The deficiency of calcium and phosphorus directly affects the growth of chickens and affects the laying of eggs. Calcium and phosphorus need to be balanced, generally calcium is twice as much as phosphorus, imbalance affects absorption, and vitamin D is also an important component to enhance the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, lack of eggs will lead to a decline in egg production, eggs smaller, the emergence of soft shell.

two。 Administration and Management

Temperature ups and downs will affect the development of chickens, and then affect feeding, lack of nutrition can cause eggshell thinning. Poor ventilation will lead to ammonia poisoning, affecting calcium absorption. The stocking is too dense, the activity is insufficient, the circulation is not good, and the transportation of calcium and phosphorus is not in place. Affected by the stress response after shock.

3. Disease

White dysentery enteritis, or infection with coccidiosis, may be photographed as a chicken soft shell egg. On the other hand, the decline of chicken resistance and weak resistance are also prone to diseases.

II. Prevention methods

1. Artificial regulation

Now there are some additives for soft-shell eggs on the market, which can help regulate and prevent the occurrence of soft-shell eggs, and regular and appropriate safety additives can be selected to help improve. Regular ventilation, maintain a good air environment, to pay attention to heat preservation, pay attention to temperature control, always maintain an appropriate 20 to 25 degrees can be prevented. Often go out for stocking activities to enhance resistance.

two。 Supplementary nutrition

Daily food can be fed some food crops that contain more calcium and phosphorus, or shell powder, or eggshell powder, bone meal, cod liver oil, to supplement calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, should be able to improve the situation, but can configure their own high content of concentrate feed to increase the absorption and digestibility of feed.

3. The disease should be prevented at the time of the seedling and vaccinated. If the disease still occurs after adulthood, it should be treated in time at the beginning of the disease, generally treated with penicillin and sulfonamides. Chlorophenylguanidine was used to infect coccidiosis and fed at the concentration of 30-33 mg/kg for 1-2 months.

Chicken soft shell eggs for many reasons, some mild, some serious, then it is necessary to find the cause, according to the symptoms to use the right method to improve the condition, good adjustment, turn to the normal egg laying situation. If you encounter this kind of situation, I am sure you can handle it correctly.
