As the breeding industry using layer chicken cages in Ghana continues to expand, the scientific nature of breeding technology is becoming more and more important. The selection of chicken coop equipment, reasonable design of chicken coops, the control of chemical dosage, air circulation, and disease prevention are becoming more and more professional and scientific, which requires a group of high-tech breeders. So what aspects should be paid attention to in laying hen breeding?

1. suitable environment
Proper temperature, proper humidity, proper ventilation, proper stocking density, proper light

2. Sufficient drinking water
Ensure that the laying hens have proper drinking water, effectively ensuring the healthy growth of the laying hens.

3. Standard weight
Overweight or underweight will affect the laying rate of laying hens.

4. Reduce all kinds of stress
Suitable environmental factors are one of the key factors affecting the growth of laying hens.

5. Strengthen disinfection
Strengthen disinfection in the house and cleaning outside the house to ensure the cleanliness of the breeding environment and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

6. Immunization vaccine
Use vaccines correctly and reasonably to effectively control and reduce the derivation of poultry diseases.

3. Automated Systems

• Feeding Systems: Automated feeding systems ensure consistent and efficient feed distribution, reducing wastage and labor costs.
• Drinking Systems: Automated drinking systems provide a constant supply of clean water, promoting healthy growth.
• Manure Cleaning Systems: Automated manure cleaning systems maintain a clean and hygienic environment, reducing the risk of disease.
• Egg Collection Systems: Automated egg collection systems streamline the process of gathering eggs, minimizing breakage and labor.

Conclusion

Farmers who raise layer hens in poultry chicken cages all want to allow chickens to lay more eggs, but some of them have low egg production rates due to some reasons. Today we will discuss the reasons.

First of all, there are two reasons for the lack of egg production rate: feed and management. Farmers need to check whether the feed formula is nutritionally balanced, and check whether the temperature and humidity of the poultry house are in line with the growth conditions of laying hens.

Farmers also need to reflect on the rapid change of feed after the peak egg production period. This will cause the chicken to have a greater stress response and affect the chicken's feed intake. As a result, the nutrients obtained by the chickens are reduced and the egg production rate is reduced.

The other reason is that the noisy environment of the chicken house causes the flock to be agitated. For example, loud noises can easily frighten chickens. Or suddenly change the breeding environment, etc. In response to the above problems, farmers should strengthen the management of the chicken house breeding environment and solve the problems in time.

Farmers need to consider whether the chicken house has sufficient light. Because light has a greater impact on stimulating the physiological functions of the gonads and laying eggs. Some chicken farmers only use natural light instead of lighting, so that the light is below 16 hours. Some have supplemented the light, but the light bulb is too small or the degree is too small. Although there are 15W light bulbs, they are not cleaned in time and are covered by dust, etc. And the light is not enough, which adversely affects the egg production rate.

The above is the summary of the reasons why laying hens lay fewer eggs. I hope that all farmers who raise layer hens can use the battery cages for layer hens to summarize the above experience to better raise chickens.

The right temperature of the chicken house can exert greater production potential for chickens. The quality of environmental control directly affects the success of breeding. Therefore, temperature control is an important factor in feeding. The following chicken breeding equipment manufacturers explain the main points of chicken house temperature control.

In the environmental control of the layer hen chicken house, the layer chicken can obtain a higher survival rate, weight gain speed and feed remuneration in the above-mentioned suitable temperature environment. Whether the specific temperature of each brooding is appropriate or not is determined by the dynamic performance of the chicks:

When the temperature is appropriate, the chicks are evenly distributed indoors, lively, with smooth feathers, and close to the body surface. They are relatively quiet during sleep and scramble to eat.

When the temperature is too low, the chicks will show low temperature performance. The chicks will be crowded near the heat source or in a certain corner, their feathers will be fluffy, the spirit will be wilted, and they will make continuous calls. This way for a long time, it is easy to cause the chicks to catch a cold or be crushed to death. It must be heated immediately and the crowded chicks must be dispersed.

When the temperature is too high, the chicks stay away from the heat source, spread their wings and lie down, panting, and rush to drink water. There is often no water in the drinking fountain, but the fluff is wet. Over time, the physique of the chicks will be weakened, growth will be hindered, and even heat death will be caused. When the temperature is too high, the temperature should be gradually lowered, but be aware that a sudden drop in temperature can cause a cold.

Therefore, attention must be paid to the temperature control of the chicken house during the entire feeding period of the laying hens. A thermometer can be placed in an appropriate place in the house for observation, and certain measures can be taken to cool down or adjust the temperature. In the hot season, when the temperature in the chicken house is high, you can open the doors, windows and vents, turn on the fan or exhaust fan, increase the ventilation in the house, and lower the temperature in the house. When necessary, cold water can be sprayed on the ground or sprayed on the roof to cool down.

The use of poultry battery layer hen cages to raise chickens requires more attention to the living environment of the chickens in the hen house. Provide a suitable temperature environment for the chickens so that they can grow healthier.
