Breeding Management and Technical Key Points for Layer Breeder Chickens

The purpose of raising layer breeder chickens is to obtain as many qualified hatching eggs with a high fertilization rate as possible. The management method is generally semi-confinement. In recent years, some breeder farms have used flat net flooring to raise layer breeder chickens and also achieved a fairly high fertilization rate, while abroad mixed flooring is usually used for raising breeder chickens. In recent years, cage rearing of breeder chickens has also begun to be used. If natural mating is used, one collective chicken cage holds 1 to 2 roosters and 10 to 20 hens. If artificial insemination is used, generally 2 hens are kept per cage.
