Nine things you must know for safe and efficient chicken raising

Chickens have two feeding peaks during the day. One is after sunrise2~3hours, and the feed intake in the morning is1/3. Feeding at this time can greatly increase the laying rate. It can be seen that for laying hens, feeding twice in the morning9o'clock and in the afternoon3o'clock gives the best results.

2. Key points for saving feed when raising chickens

The yolk and albumen of an egg are formed during the day, while the eggshell is formed in the afternoon and at night. For laying hens, feed1days2times. In the morning, feed a high-protein, high-energy, low-calcium feed, and in the evening feed a low-protein, low-energy, high-calcium feed. This can not only regulate the laying period and increase egg production, but also save feed.

3. Methods to keep chickens laying at high rates

If the body weight of the flock is not increasing normally. Even if the current egg production and feed conversion are both high, there is a potential downward trend in egg production. Before egg production declines, the body weight problem can be corrected by increasing consumption. If feed consumption is already clearly at a high level, that only means much feed is being consumed, or at least indicates low feed efficiency. If feed is clearly at a low level, while the flock's body weight is still increasing normally and a relatively high egg production rate is maintained, then it can be kept up, and good money can be made.
