In the process of chicken production, in order to extend the utilization period of laying hens, some farmers will force the flock to molt. Forced moulting is a process of forcibly changing the physiological state and stage of the chicken. It can strongly stimulate the chicken body organs and reproductive system, so as to achieve a series of excessive stages such as production stop, moult and rest in a short period of time, and then resume laying and improve the quality of eggs. However, it is not necessary for all chickens to carry out forced moulting. In addition, there are many details of forced moulting that need to be fully mastered by chicken farmers, so as to avoid the failure of the process and affect economic benefits.
flocks suitable for forced moulting
1. The average egg production rate and survival rate of chickens in the first year are high, and those with good uniformity and continued use value can be forced to moult and continue to be used in the second year.
2. High-priced breeding chickens introduced from abroad, such as high-yield matching lines of great ancestors, ancestors and parents, because of the high cost of introduction, in order to save the cost of breeding, can take compulsory moulting measures to extend its use period.
3. When the price of eggs in the market is high, and the supply of goods is tight, and the price of eggs is on the rise, the forced feather change of chickens and continue to raise them can increase income quickly and achieve a better market rate of return.
4. In order to make full use of the chicken coop and increase income, it is necessary to keep the old-age chicken flock if the chicken flock has a major disease in the brooding and breeding stage, resulting in the shortage of the reserve chicken flock or the supply of chicks.
5. In order to reduce the cost of raising chickens, some large chicken farms have planned to retain some high-yield chickens and continue to use them. At this time, the chickens can be forced to moult. In addition, the breeding center purposefully selects high-yield chickens for breeding, and can also apply forced moulting measures to the flock when they continue to be raised.
