1. Feeding chicken with vitamin C, choline, tryptophan, acanthopanax senticosus leaf powder and red pepper can improve egg production. The egg laying cycle of chickens is generally about one year. From the day when chicks are raised out of the shell to about 120 days, more than 50% of chickens will lay eggs in 140 days. From 140 days to 365 days, it is about 500 days. The external environment has a certain impact on the laying cycle of chickens. Under artificial conditions, the external environment will be relatively stable, so the cycle is relatively regular. The continuous production is long, and the rest time is short, so more eggs are laid. In the natural environment, generally spring is the peak period for laying eggs, and even the fertility is long, so there are more eggs.
2. The hens must keep the surrounding environment quiet during laying, because the hens are timid, which will lead to decreased egg production or abnormal eggs after being frightened. Therefore, in daily feeding, water feeding, cleaning, chicken catching, egg picking and other work, it is necessary to take light actions to avoid loud noise that will affect the laying of hens. The suitable temperature for laying hens is about 13-25 ° C, and 20 ° C is suitable. Too high or too low temperature will affect the laying rate.
3. The light in the egg laying period can only be increased but not shortened. Generally, the light time required for egg laying must not be less than 12 hours, and the maximum time cannot exceed 16 hours. It is necessary to provide adequate nutrition for hens, and adjust the feed content according to the season. For example, when the temperature is high in summer, the energy feed can be reduced and the protein and calcium feed can be increased. When the temperature is low in winter, the energy feed can be increased and the protein feed can be reduced.
