How to improve the quality of eggshell

Eggs are a very common food on our table and are welcomed by many people. Therefore, there are more people raising laying hens now, but eggs are relatively fragile and easy to be broken, which will have a great impact on the efficiency of breeding. Therefore, the quality of egg shells is a problem that many farmers are considering. So how to improve the quality of eggshell? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Supplement calcium and phosphorus

Most of the substances made up of eggshells are calcium. Therefore, if you want to improve the quality of eggshell, it is necessary to do a good job of calcium supplement and increase the proportion of calcium in feed. And there is another point that many people often overlook, and that is phosphorus. When we supplement calcium, we should also pay attention to control the ratio of calcium and phosphorus. If you only supplement calcium, then the effect will not be very obvious. Because in addition to calcium, phosphorus is the most important substance that affects the quality of eggshells. So when we are feeding the diet, the ratio of calcium to phosphorus should be controlled between 4:1 or 6:1.

2. Improve nutrition

The protein content of eggs is very rich, so we should also pay attention to the protein content in the diet. Protein also has a great effect on the calcium absorption of laying hens, so if you want layers to have a high yield, the content of protein in the diet should be kept at about 17%. In addition to protein, vitamin supplements are also critical, such as vitamin C, and vitamin D3 is indispensable. Because vitamin D3 is an indispensable substance in calcium and phosphorus metabolism of laying hens. Finally, trace elements such as manganese and zinc can be added to the diet with appropriate amount of baking soda, which can reduce the damage rate of eggshell and improve the quality of eggshell.

3. Strengthen the management

When raising laying hens, attention should be paid to maintaining the temperature and humidity in the house, which should be controlled in the level suitable for the growth of laying hens. Can reduce the phenomenon of poor eggshell quality, in the summer high temperature season, to do a good job of heat prevention and cooling work. To provide adequate clean drinking water for laying hens, if there is heat stress in laying hens, then an appropriate amount of vitamin C should be added to the diet and drinking water to alleviate heat stress. Then control the light to prevent the light from being too strong or insufficient. If the light is uncomfortable, it will have a great impact on the eggshell. Finally, some old low-laying hens should be eliminated in time.

4. Reduce stress

During the growth of laying hens, if they are stressed, it will not only affect the growth of laying hens, but also reduce the quality of eggshells. So when we manage normally, we should pay attention to reduce the stress reaction of laying hens as much as possible. To prevent laying hens from being frightened, it is best for breeders to keep them the same. Do not change the diet casually, if it is in the need to change, then it should be done slowly, not suddenly, otherwise it will also cause layer stress. Finally, we should do a good job in disease prevention and strengthen immune disinfection to improve the quality of egg shells.
