Health Management of Intestinal Tract in Breeding Chickens

Release time:

Nov 02,2018


The intestinal tract of poultry is the channel of material exchange with the outside world, and it is the main place where nutrients are digested and absorbed and transported to the blood. The intestinal tract of poultry has a well-developed reticular lymph node, which is used to secrete a large number of lymphocytes required by the intestinal tract. Therefore, the intestinal tract is also the most important immune organ of poultry, and it also contains a large number of commensal microorganisms. Therefore, the physiological state of the intestine directly affects the digestion, absorption and transportation of nutrients, affects the level of immunity, and also affects the level of production performance. There is no doubt that poultry intestinal tract is a complete and complex biological function system. No matter which part has problems, it will lead to the whole body, which will easily lead to the obstruction of nutrient intake, the decline of physical fitness, and the selective decline of intestinal absorption. Many toxins and bacteria enter the body, causing greater harm to the body. At the same time, the immune function decreases correspondingly with the damage of gastrointestinal tract, and external pathogens take advantage of the deficiency, endogenous harmful microorganisms will further disrupt, destroy intestinal tissue, and form a vicious circle. It can be said that intestinal problems are the "source of all diseases".

In addition to the reproductive system, the body's various metabolic systems are close to the level of mature laying hens. After 10 weeks of age, the feeding intake of laying hens increased rapidly, which made the digestion and absorption of healthy intestinal tract of laying hens in a vigorous state. However, if the intestinal tract of laying hens is in a "sub-health" state before the age of 10 weeks, if it is not controlled or the intestinal tract is improperly conditioned, the digestion and absorption of nutrients will further decline, aggravate the disorder of intestinal flora, and destroy the acid-base balance and water-electrolyte balance. it is easy to lead to common habitual diarrhea of laying hens, and its weight development and reproductive system development will be seriously inhibited.

The current state of egg production explicitly requires a ban on the use of antibiotics. Therefore, how to adjust the intestinal health of laying hens in the late stage of breeding and laying has become an important part of laying hens breeding. As the most important period to undertake the growth period and the laying period, it is also the core period of the development of the reproductive system. The laying hens in the late stage of breeding can not have problems, especially the intestinal tract needs to be reasonably regulated and protected.

AnchiEnvironment-friendly healthIt is the second generation of functional non-resistant dry powder biological feed developed by Anchi Group over the years. The main components of the product are compound beneficial bacteria, plant essential oil, fermented traditional Chinese medicine, enzyme preparation and intestinal repair agent, which can strengthen and protect the intestinal system comprehensively and systematically. It has the functions of inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, maintaining intestinal acidic environment, improving digestion and absorption, nourishing intestinal flora, relieving overfeeding, degrading mycotoxin and improving immunity, so that the intestinal tract of laying hens can be effectively improved from short-term to long-term, cooperate with the use of the breeding material does not increase the cost of the farm, so that the reserve layer is easier to obtain a good intestinal and standard weight, so that the layer breeding is truly non-resistant, green and efficient.

To sum up, it is not only a problem that farmers must pay attention to, but also has far-reaching significance for the efficient production of laying hens. Therefore, it is an important work that every laying hen farm should do well.
