Several tips for raising eggs in winter

Chicken coop keep warm

Layers require the temperature range is 8 ~ 27 ℃, the most suitable temperature is 13 ~ 24 ℃, the temperature is too high or too low are not conducive to laying eggs, each increase or decrease 1 ℃ will make the egg down 1%. Winter outside temperature is low, should increase the temperature of chicken coop, can take insulation measures, such as raw stove, the chicken windows north of the blockage, the general minimum should be maintained at above 8 ℃.

Keep the light constant

Light on the chicken's sexual maturity, ovulation and laying a decisive role, the general requirements of the laying period of light to maintain 16 hours a day. 4 weeks before the chicken is eliminated, the light can be increased to 17 hours and the optimum illumination intensity is 5 lux. Short sunshine in winter, cloudy days fog lights should be turned on in time. Anti-light bulb dirty light intensity weakened, should try to be uniform light.

Maintain proper humidity

Layers require humidity range is 50% to 70%, the optimum humidity is 60% to 65%. Humidity is too low and easy to dehydrate the chicken body and cause respiratory disease; humidity is too high, often make chicken coop air pollution, and easily lead to various diseases. Relative humidity is high in winter, so humidity must be adjusted on the basis of temperature. Usually by controlling the temperature to adjust the humidity, in order to facilitate the improvement of egg production.

Do not forget ventilation

In winter, the chicken coop is tightly closed, and a large amount of harmful gas (H2S, NH3, CO2) can be produced. It can induce chicken chronic respiratory diseases, chronic bronchitis, throat, rhinitis and colibacillosis. Open the skylight ventilation or set properly every day Exhaust fan, anti-thief wind invasion. Do a good job of environmental disinfection, disinfectant alternate use, such as quick clean, eliminate a thousand to prevent the spread of various viruses, bacteria.

Reasonable administration of disease prevention

Do not blindly use the vaccine, do not arbitrarily increase the vaccine multiples, so as to avoid immune failure or immune paralysis, to avoid the occurrence of atypical Newcastle disease. When the disease should be treated promptly, so as not to increase the rate of death and increase the drug investment and so on. After entering the winter, the choice of high-sensitivity drugs such as colibacillosis, staphylococcal disease, in order to control the disease in a timely manner, while preventing secondary infection of more serious diseases such as Mycoplasma, Newcastle disease, bird flu and so on, so as to avoid the drop of laying rate.

Minimize stress

The chicken coop is sturdy enough to prevent the loud noise caused by the gust of wind while avoiding the intruding of dogs, cats, rats and birds. Under stress conditions, the feed can be added 0.02% to 0.04% of vitamin C, while drinking water with Victoria.

Improve feed energy

Winter should be appropriate to improve feed energy, add more energy-rich feed, such as oil, corn and so on. Some chicken farms (households) own ingredients, has been using a formula. At the same time, because the content of raw materials is different, the content of protein, energy, minerals and so on are high or low, there is normal or abnormal feeding, and the egg production rate is reduced to different extents, soft and soft eggs, Of the flocks did not peak, followed by the crown atrophy, pubic symphysis and other conditions, it is recommended that the best use of a reasonable full-price materials, and then appropriate to add some energy feed.

Supply clean water

Water is the growth and development of chickens, eggs and health nutrients necessary to participate in the body's metabolic processes, water consumption varies with the seasons, the winter feed intake is generally 2 times; lack of drinking water can produce Egg drop 2% to 10%, and egg weight reduction; daily drinking fountains should be to ensure good water quality, to create high-yield drinking water environment.

Timely adjust the flocks

About 200 days of age, we observed flocks, crowns, atrophy of the pubis, tight feathers, dry leg skin, pectoralis pectoralis and penguin-like chops absent. Feed can be saved to improve egg production, prevent the spread of other diseases and reduce the frequency of administration.
