Measures to prevent a drop in egg production of broiler breeder chickens in summer
Pay attention to ventilation. To prevent overheating, the doors and windows of the chicken house should be opened. Install electric fans in the chicken house, spray water at regular intervals to cool it down, and set up a shade canopy over the exercise area. Drinking water must be sufficient, and the water supply must not be cut off. The rearing density should be reduced appropriately; for floor rearing, more perches should be added and the ground should be changed to a sand litter floor. Pay attention to eliminating mosquitoes and chicken lice to reduce pest damage. Adjust the diet ratio, reduce energy feed, and increase the protein level. Carry out meal feeding, stop feeding at noon, concentrate feeding in the cool morning and evening, and it is best to add one nighttime feeding, add one meal of wet mixed feed, and feed more cool and juicy feed.
