Chicken Farming Information for Chicken Breeds

Constitute the egg shell thin elements of many, for example, nutrients, varieties, management and so on. In addition, the selection of automatic chicken raising equipment, temperature and ventilation are the main factors affecting eggshell thinness.

 

The temperature. Too high or too low a temperature in the hen house can affect egg shell quality. The reason is that temperature affects feeding and feed intake affects nutrient content.

 

Buy a premium battery cage system. Quality - assured automated chicken raising facilities allow chickens to be taken good care of. Provide a good living environment.

 

 

Usually when the temperature is higher than 32℃. Chicken body heat is difficult, appetite is reduced, intake cut. Prolonged high temperatures can damage the nutrient balance of the chicken. Cause metabolic changes, so that the thyroid function of chickens reduced, resulting in lack of calcium in the chicken body. Easy to produce thin shell or soft shell eggs.

 

When the temperature drops below -12℃, the feed intake of chickens decreases and the eggshells become thinner. Therefore, it is cool in summer and warm in winter, so that the temperature in the chicken house should be kept between 15℃ and 25℃ as far as possible, and the concentration of energy, protein and minerals in the diet of laying hens should be adjusted according to the season to improve the laying rate and eggshell quality.

 

Ventilation. The effect of ventilation on the eggshell is affected by the concentration of harmful gases. When the chicken house is poorly ventilated, the concentration of ammonia gas is too high, it is easy to cause respiratory ammonia poisoning, so that the chicken body loses more carbon dioxide, resulting in the lack of carbonate ions that constitute calcium carbonate, affecting the absorption of calcium, thus resulting in the production of thin shell eggs. Therefore, automatic chicken equipment is often used in the chicken house for ventilation, timely cleaning of feces, to avoid too high ammonia concentration.

 

These are the four tips poultry equipment manufacturers shared to solve the problem. Let's hope poultry farmers don't panic when it comes to thin-skinned eggs and find a solution.
