Strengthen feeding management
In feeding management, it is necessary to ensure that the chickens are fed with high-quality, nutritionally comprehensive and balanced, fresh and adequate feed. Laying hens are prone to stress reactions in spring, so they must operate in a certain time and sequence when feeding, adding water, picking up eggs, and disinfecting.
The temperature changes greatly in spring, and it is necessary to prevent it in time according to the changes in the weather. When encountering cold weather in late spring, it is necessary to do a good job in the insulation of the chicken house, which can increase the feeding times and the energy level in the feed. When the temperature is high, open the window for ventilation; when the temperature is low, close the window to keep warm; open the window when there is no wind, and close the window when there is wind, so as to prevent laying hens from suffering from respiratory diseases in spring and improve the laying rate.
guarantee nutrition supply
With the increase of egg production rate, the demand for minerals and vitamins, especially calcium and phosphorus, increases in spring. If the content of calcium and phosphorus in the feed of laying hens is insufficient, the quality of soft-shelled eggs, shellless eggs, or eggshells will be poor, easy to damage, and even the situation that chickens peck eggs. Therefore, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the feed can be increased during the period when the laying hens produce the most eggs.
Pay attention to the henhouse environment
Control the environment in the chicken house, in which temperature is the most important factor, usually the most suitable temperature for laying hens is 12-20 ℃, and the egg production rate is the highest at 13-17 ℃. When the temperature is changeable in spring, especially at night, the temperature is low. In the cold weather in early spring, you can still use a stove or hot air blower indoors to keep warm, and repair the doors and windows to avoid air leakage. At the same time, to control the feeding density of chickens, it is necessary to do a good job of ventilation regularly, and ventilation should not be reduced on the grounds that the weather is colder in spring, otherwise harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia in the house will not be discharged in time, which will induce the chickens to suffer from respiratory diseases and other diseases.
Appropriate supplementary light
Light is an important factor affecting the production of laying hens, which plays an important role in the sexual maturity, ovulation and egg production of laying hens. In early spring, the sunshine time is still short, so it is necessary to artificially supplement the light to keep the light time of chickens at 14-16 hours every day. Generally, there are 3-5 watts of electric lights per square meter in the chicken house, and the lights are about 2 meters from the ground. The lamp distance is 3 meters. When the light in the chicken coop is dark, the lamp should be turned on in time to supplement the light. It is required to wipe the bulb frequently to prevent the dust from being too thick to weaken the light intensity.
Pay attention to disinfection and epidemic prevention
As the temperature warms up, all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms begin to multiply in large numbers, coupled with the physical consumption of laying hens during the laying period, the physique has declined, the resistance is poor, and it is very easy to be infected with bacteria. Therefore, one of the key points of the management of laying hens in spring is to do a good job in disinfection and disease prevention. Optional in sunny days, the internal and external environment of the chicken house is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the space and chicken body can be sprayed with a certain concentration and dose of disinfectant to kill bacteria and viruses in the air and chicken body. At the same time, keep the drinking water clean and monitor the antibody regularly. In spring, the season of high incidence of epidemic diseases, the time interval of monitoring should be shortened, and timely immunization should be supplemented according to the monitoring results.
