What is the management method of laying hens in autumn and winter?
After the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually becomes cool, and the egg production of free-range laying hens should also be gradually increased. In order to ensure that free-range laying hens have higher laying performance and better benefits, the following technical measures need to be taken:
1. Reach the standard weight.
Raise the laying hens well to ensure that the weight of the laying hens reaches the standard before laying. For laying hens whose body weight is not up to standard, we can postpone the increase of light time, or stop feeding for two consecutive days, postpone the starting time of laying, and at the same time increase the nutrient concentration of layer feed to promote the weight gain before laying, and then start production after reaching the standard.
2.ensure the supply of nutrition.
Laying hens should provide sufficient feed after laying to ensure free feeding. Generally, free-range laying hens eat 100-120 grams of feed every day, especially after the opening of production, otherwise the laying hens do not eat enough, affect the development of follicles and lose weight after laying, resulting in low laying rate in the later stage.
3.try to feed full-price laying hens.
Although corn and wheat bran are good raw materials for feed, they are lack of protein, calcium and phosphorus. Even if free-range laying hens can get some minerals from the soil, they can not meet the demand because of the low content of minerals in the soil in many areas. If layers are fed with corn, wheat bran, bean cake, bone meal, salt, shells, and compound feed composed of amino acids, trace elements and vitamins, it can ensure adequate nutrition for laying hens, which can not only meet their body weight development and laying needs, but also avoid nutritional deficiencies, such as feather pecking, leg paralysis and so on.
4.ensure the lighting time.
Laying hens were given 16 hours of light every day. According to the traditional breeding experience, layers lay fewer eggs after autumn, and the reason why they do not lay eggs in winter is because the light time becomes shorter after the Summer Solstice. In order to ensure long-term and constant egg laying, constant light should be ensured.
5.do a good job in the ventilation and heat preservation measures of the chicken coop.
The microclimate of the henhouse has a great influence on the health and productivity of laying hens, especially in winter, it is necessary to improve and create good microclimatic conditions to ensure the health of chickens, prevent diseases and improve their production performance to a great extent.
