How to make laying hens breed eggs in winter

In winter, the temperature is low, the sunshine is weak, and the sunshine is short. The egg itself consumes more energy, causing the egg production of the laying hens to drop or even stop production. In view of the above situation, effective measures can be taken to promote the hens to produce more eggs in winter. The methods are as follows: 1. Cold insulation is an important part of laying hens. The most suitable temperature for laying hens is 13-20°C, and the temperature in winter is low and the cold current is frequent. Therefore, we must pay attention to cold and warm work, especially to prevent thieves from invading the chicken body. 2. Ventilation, ventilation and ventilation are important measures to ensure the health of chickens and improve the performance of laying eggs. Winter chickens often pay attention only to the cold and warmth of the chicken house and neglect the ventilation and ventilation, resulting in the increase of harmful gases (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide) in the house. Especially when the concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide increase, the chickens are susceptible to respiratory infections. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly remove the excrement in the henhouse, and to pay attention to the discharge of pollutants and humidity during the preservation of the house. It is advisable to open the fan and increase the ventilation holes on a regular basis to allow people to enter without sulking, pungent or glare. Pay special attention to the removal of feces, the increase in harmful gases, timely disinfection, it is best to use a cheap disinfectant such as peracetic acid, it can be generated with ammonium ammonia is harmless to the chicken, while killing a variety of bacteria and Viruses reduce the concentration of ammonia in the homes. 3, to maintain the appropriate humidity usually the most suitable humidity layer chicken 60% -70%. In winter, the emphasis is on insulation, the amount of ventilation and ventilation is reduced, and the relative humidity in the house is relatively high. As long as the proper temperature can be maintained, the amount of ventilation can be increased to dehumidify. If ventilation is difficult to solve, powdered quicklime can be sprinkled around the house. This will serve two purposes, both moisture and disinfection. 4. The purpose of increasing the illumination of layers of eggs is to stimulate and maintain the balance of egg production. Winter lighting time is short, so increase artificial lighting. It is best to fix the light for 16 hours. The time for turning on and off the lamp should be fixed, and it should not be changed at random to prevent stress on laying hens. 5. The amount of water required for drinking hens depends on the ambient temperature. In winter, the temperature is low, and the water requirement of laying hens is small. If the chicken does not drink water or drink too much, it will affect its egg production performance, such as the temperature is too low, it is best to drink warm water, appropriate to about 37 °C warm water. 6, increase nutrition Winter temperatures are low, the energy consumption of laying hens, so to increase the number of feeding, so that the layer ate more food to ensure its high yield. The energy level in the feed should be appropriately increased, and the amount of lysine, vitamins, etc. should be appropriately increased in the feed in order to increase the egg production of the layer. 7. Disease Prevention and Control In winter, it is the epidemic season of respiratory diseases in chickens. Once the epidemic is discovered, it should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible to prevent the spread. At the same time every 7-10 days of chicken house disinfection, one can choose to kill poison and other agents. China Agricultural Network Editor
