Calculating the material for laying hens

In the course of technical services, the author found that many egg-laying farmers are blind to the exact material used for laying hens, and most of them rely on estimates. It should be noted that excessive use of materials can cause layer fat, premature birth (especially during the chicken phase), and even result in feed wastage and increase the cost of breeding; if too little, it is difficult to meet the standard egg production conditions, or in the production of eggs Small, low egg production rate and poor aquaculture efficiency. Also, in the prevention and treatment of diseases in laying hens, it is particularly important to accurately calculate the materials used for the treatment. Here is a calculation formula for the general farmers to reference: 10 days before the age: the amount of daily material = number of days +2, such as 7 days of egg chicken daily consumption of 7 +2 = 9 grams. 11 to 20 days of age: the amount of daily material = number of days of age +1, such as 15 days of egg chicken daily consumption of 15 + 1 = 16 grams. 21 to 50 days of age: The amount of daily use = number of days, such as 30 days of egg chicken daily consumption of 30 grams. 51 to 150 days of age: daily feed amount = 50 + (days of age -50) 2, such as 100 days of chicken in the eggs used daily amount of 50 + (100-50) 2 = 75 grams. The daily consumption of laying hens over 150 days of age should be stable at 100-12 grams. Calculated in this way, a total of about 8.84kg of feed was consumed for 1 hen until 150 days of age, and approximately 36.50kg for 550 days. Of course, the amount of materials used in different varieties and seasons should be slightly different.
