As the chicken breeding model of laying hens develops from retail to large-scale breeding, there are often things beyond cognition. For example, when some farms are small in scale, the egg production rate can reach more than 97%, and the peak egg production period can reach 10%. It can only reach 93% after expanding the scale, and the peak time of egg production is also significantly shortened. In addition, the high mortality rate of chickens, the high rate of broken eggs, mycoplasma, mycotoxins, viral infections, intestinal problems, liver problems, etc. emerge in an endless stream, which have become new problems for many farms that have been upgraded to a certain scale.

Although the emergence of these problems will have a certain relationship with nutrition, the more important thing at this time is to do a good job in feeding management. You may ask, what aspects should management focus on? Here’s the answer:
6 Tips for Chicken breeding Management：
- Tube feed: The feed should not only be nutritionally complete and precisely balanced, but also clean and non-polluting. Feed the feed in time, and adjust the formula in time according to the age and production status of the flock.
- Drinking water: The water intake of chickens is about twice the amount of feed intake. Cutting off drinking water will lead to the death of chickens. The chicken farm has sufficient drinking water supply and is clean and hygienic. The water line should be cleaned regularly, and the drinking nipple should be checked regularly to prevent clogging.
- Tube temperature: Both high and low temperature will affect the production performance of laying hens, and severe high temperature may even lead to the death of chickens. Chickens of different ages have different requirements for temperature, and the chickens will get sick if they exceed the range that they can bear. Chicken farms must pay attention to managing the temperature of the chicken house, heating when cold and cooling when hot.
- Pipe air: If the ventilation of the closed chicken house is not good, the air quality will be a problem. Insufficient oxygen, excessive exhaust gas such as ammonia and carbon dioxide, and excessive dust are very common in winter when ventilation is insufficient. The ventilation rate of the chicken house should be adjusted according to the air condition in the house and the temperature inside and outside the house.
- Manage light: Light management is very important whether it is the laying period or the reserve chicken. Too strong light will make chickens restless and prone to pecking and prolapse; too weak light will reduce feed intake, slow growth, and reduce egg production. In the chicken breeding period, if the light time is too short, sexual maturity will be delayed, and the start of production will be delayed;
- Management equipment: The maintenance of chicken farm equipment, electrical appliances, and lines is very important. It is necessary to check regularly, find out in time, and repair or replace it in time, so as not to use it too late, and small negligence will cause big problems.Dear farm managers, pay attention to the above 6 points, take action, I believe you will not have so many troubles!
