Key points of low-consumption and high-efficiency chicken raising in laying hen cages

1. Adjust feed formula
During the breeding process, the egg production peak of high-yielding chickens raised by farmers can last for more than 4 months, so farmers need to pay attention to the appropriate extension of the maintenance time of high-level feed nutrition. After the Gaochang period, farmers can reduce the feed consumption of high-protein chickens according to the decline in egg production rate of laying hens to avoid nutrient waste. In addition, when chickens are being vaccinated, divided into groups, transferred to groups, and beak trimmed, the vitamin content and protein level in the feed that farmers feed to laying hens can be appropriately increased.
2. Avoid waste
When feeding, you should choose the method of adding less and frequently. Feeding should not exceed 1/3 of the trough each time. Try to allow the chickens to eat up the chicken feed in the trough before the farmer adds more feed to prevent the remaining feed in the trough from becoming moldy and deteriorating, causing waste. In addition, the breeding Households should also pay attention to the storage of chicken feed and feed ingredients to avoid rats, etc.
3. Trim the beak correctly and in a timely manner
When raising chicks, farmers will trim the beaks of the chickens in order to avoid bad habits such as crouching among the chickens. In addition, beak trimming can also save material and prevent beaks from being too long to peck out feed. Chickens with beaks can save about 6% of chicken feed. Experienced workers can be arranged to trim the beaks of laying hens when they are 7-9 days old.
4. Eliminate bad individuals
Farmers should pay attention to observing the chicken flocks during daily breeding and management. If sick chickens, weak chickens, low-yielding chickens, and chickens that have stopped producing are found, they should be eliminated in time. This type of chicken generally accounts for 3%-5% of the total number of chickens. Each chicken consumes 100 grams of feed for every additional day. Some farmers are often unable to make up their minds to eliminate chickens and end up wasting chicken feed.
