Manure should be cleaned up promptly to reduce the irritation to the chickens from ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the coop.
Reduce various stressors and noise. Adding multivitamins can reduce heat stress; in particular, vitamin C can promote the metabolism of minerals in the bones and increase the plasma calcium concentration. If 200 to 400 mg of vitamin C is added per kg of the diet of laying hens, it can ease the effects of heat stress, increase feed intake, lower the corticosterone concentration in the blood, and increase the utilization of calcium in the bones, so that the laying rate is significantly increased, the eggshell hardness is increased, and the breakage rate is reduced.
