Autumn is getting stronger, and many chicken farmers have reached the peak of laying eggs. However, the temperature fluctuates greatly in autumn, which makes chickens prone to problems, which will have a great impact on the laying rate. Today, we will take a look at the precautions for raising chickens with chicken poultry farm equipment in nigeria
1. Strengthen environmental control to avoid the influence of external environment on the internal environment of chicken house. The suitable temperature for laying hens is 13-25℃, and the laying rate of laying hens is reduced when the temperature is 20℃. Ventilation should be increased during the day and properly ventilated at night in the chicken house, so as to ensure ventilation and ventilation under the condition of ensuring the temperature of the chicken house, so as to avoid stress reaction caused by temperature difference and respiratory diseases caused by poor ventilation.
2. Fill the light properly. After summer, the days are getting shorter. In order to avoid the influence of light on the laying rate, it is necessary to supply appropriate light according to the situation of laying hens in different
periods.
3. Adjust feeding. The weather in autumn is cool, which is suitable for the growth of chickens. The appetite of chickens starts to rise, and the food intake gradually increases. In order to promote the normal growth of chickens, speed up the recovery of physical strength, improve the laying rate, etc., the proportion of various nutrients such as protein and vitamins should be increased in the feed to ensure the laying rate of hens.
4. Adjust chickens and eliminate old chickens. Beginning in autumn, the old chickens molt and the new chickens start to produce, which is a good season to adjust the flocks. The flocks should be adjusted and identified in a planned way. As far as laying hens are concerned, the average egg production capacity is about 500 days, and the egg production rate will plummet beyond this time limit. Therefore, our farmers should eliminate some old chickens with poor fertility in time and make adjustments to the chickens to control the cost of the poultry house.
