 1.Guarantee the most suitable temperature range

Production practice shows that,13-23℃It is the most suitable temperature range for chickens to lay eggs. Too high or too low a temperature will affect the laying rate and eggshell quality of chickens. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in winter to prevent cold and keep warm.

  2.Good ventilation in the house

Ventilation can play a role in sewage and regulating the temperature and humidity in the house, especially in large-scale intensive chicken farming.Ventilation plays a very important role in the mining of chicken laying potential. Natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation are available on a case-by-case basis. In winter, the climate is changeable and the temperature is low. The laying rate of hens is easy to rise and fall. Under the premise of heat preservation, it is necessaryChicken coopThe air conditioning is good and can be used in the morning when the temperature is higher11until afternoon2When ventilation, pay attention to the ventilation openings should be staggered to prevent through-hall wind.

  3.reasonable illumination scheme

Light can stimulate the chicken pituitary gland to secrete reproductive hormones and promote egg production. The light principle during the laying period is that the light time should be longer and not shorter, and the light intensity should not be weakened, so that the hens can start laying in time and reach the peak of laying eggs, and give full play to their laying potential. According to the specific circumstances of artificial light or natural light combined with artificial light, the whole laying period should be strictly implemented.

  4.comprehensive health and epidemic prevention measures

Pay attention to keep the house and the environment clean and hygienic, wash the sink trough and feeding tools frequently and disinfect them regularly to prevent the occurrence of epidemic diseases.

  5.Reduce stress factors

Any sudden change in environmental conditions will frighten the flock and cause a stress response, resulting in loss of appetite, decreased egg production and soft-shelled eggs. In addition to taking targeted measures to reduce stress factors, scientific management procedures for chicken houses should be formulated and strictly implemented, including light, ventilation, feeding, water supply, and diet replacement.
