Egg chickens feeding and managing points in autumn and winter
The main task of laying hens is to reduce the harmful effects of various stresses on laying hens, to provide them with an environment that is most conducive to health and egg production, and to give full play to the maximum productivity of laying hens so that their genetic potential can be fully utilized. . Producing more commercial eggs, often seeing a lot of farmers, shed equipment, breeds, feed, are first-rate level, but due to lack of management, can not get a higher rate of egg production, and some eggs The rate is higher but the duration is short. In October, the autumn season, the weather turned cold, and the spirits and appetite have changed greatly in the chickens that have just experienced the hot summer season. However, autumn is also the season in which chickens are most prone to problems. Chickens have a higher incidence of viral and bacterial diseases. . How to get chickens through this "time for trouble":
First, make appropriate adjustments to existing chicken groups
After a scorching summer, chickens inevitably produce non-production chickens, discontinued chickens, weak chickens, chickens, overweight or overweight chickens. These disease-free chickens were eliminated in time, leaving chickens with good production performance, robust physique, and normal egg production. This is the "survival of the fittest" to achieve the goal of saving feed and cleaning chickens.
Second, appropriate increase in feed nutrition, adjust the nutritional level
In the fall, the weather is cool, and the appetite increases. In summer, the chickens that suffer from "deep and hot water" have relatively weak constitution and need a period of recovery so that they can safely survive the cold winter. In autumn, it is the chickens and their rejuvenation The recovery body has a great opportunity for its constitution. Appropriate nutrition is given according to the condition of the flock. In the summer nutrition level, the energy feed (corn) is appropriately increased. At the same time, attention should be paid to the supplementation of vitamins. The content of VE and VC in the diet should be increased to enrich the cod liver oil and aminovitamin. .
Third, add light time morning and evening
After the summer solstice, the sunshine time is gradually shortened. In order to maintain the lighting time of the house, care should be taken to supplement the lighting in the morning and evening. Normally it is possible to turn on the lights at 5 o'clock in the morning, turn off the lights at 9 o'clock in the morning, and maintain a light time of no less than 16 hours per day, which can be up to 17 hours from the last month of elimination. At the same time pay attention to the stability of light time and maintain the light intensity. It is required that the time for opening and closing the light be fixed every day, and dust on the bulb should be wiped regularly. Otherwise, if you have spent the electricity bill, it has not played its due role.
Fourth, the environmental control of the chicken house should be strengthened
Into the autumn, the temperature difference between day and night increases, the cold air from the north to the south, so that the temperature dropped sharply, so we must pay attention to the weather forecast, pay attention to the night's warm work. A gale or autumn rain may reduce the egg production rate of your flock by 10-30%. Therefore, it is not surprising that chicken disease happened around the third day after the autumn rain. Therefore, proper insulation of the chicken house should be carried out. When the weather is fine, open the windows and vents, keep the ventilation in case of keeping the temperature of the chicken house, and avoid the respiratory diseases caused by temperature stress and poor ventilation.
Fifth, regular disinfection and enhanced immunity
The temperature is suitable, and viruses and bacteria are paralyzed. Autumn is a period of high incidence of various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the immunization work and implement a regular disinfection system. Do a good job of vaccination and prepare for wintering. And do a deworming work, immunization should be based on the age group of chickens to develop immunization programs, the implementation of immunization, the vaccine to ensure quality (preservation of the environment, use and injection dose); regular disinfection is an important work can not be ignored, usually a week Two times, in addition to dietary supplemented with antibiotics, but also adhere to the chicken house chicken disinfection, disinfection drugs to choose a broad spectrum of high efficiency, non-toxic and no side effects of the disinfectant, pay attention to the drug concentration, disinfection should be thorough, leaving no dead ends . When the flock is onset, it is every morning and afternoon.
