The use ofpoultry battery cagesto raise laying hens is mainly to produce eggs, sell eggs, and make money. Therefore, the number of eggs laid in chicken cages directly determines the income of laying hens. Obviously, the higher the laying hens, the better the chickens are. Whether the laying hens have high yield has many influencing factors. In this article, we will talk about how to make the laying hens high-yield from the perspective of living environment.

1. Temperature is very important: the temperature of the house has a great impact on the chicken’s life, affecting everything from growth to health, from egg production, egg quality, egg weight to egg yield. The study found that the temperature of the house from 13 degrees to 16 degrees, the laying rate of laying hens is the highest.

2. Humidity has a large impact: Humidity not only affects egg production, but also affects the health of the flock. If the house is low in humidity, the environment that is too dry will be more likely to fly dust, and it is easier to spread the disease, especially respiratory diseases. High humidity, poor breathing, and wet feathers are obviously not good for the health of the flock. The study found that 60% relative humidity is the favorite of laying hens.

3. Illumination is very important: the impact of care on laying rate of laying hens is based on two points: First, when the egg production rate rises gradually, the illumination time should also increase; second, the light should not be too strong, otherwise it will lead to chicken. The group is uneasy, resulting in an increase in egg breakage rate. In general, the peak advertising time is 16-17 hours, and the light intensity is 10 square meters.

4. Ventilation is the core: ventilation is a very central step for any chicken housed in a chicken house. Its purpose is to regulate temperature, reduce humidity, purify air, and discharge turbidity and harmful dust and microorganisms. For laying hens, it is better to have a good ventilation and ventilation to let the hens enjoy the fresh air.

5. Avoid stress: laying hens should pay attention to the quiet inside and outside the house, avoid the entry of outsiders, pay attention to prevent the infestation of various animals, and do the bit in the above mentioned temperature, humidity, ventilation and lighting, in the chicken house. All kinds of activities and operations within the “light” should be the main. Otherwise, once the laying hen is stressed, the egg production rate is difficult to guarantee.

In addition to the above 5 points, the laying density of the laying hens, the quality of thechicken battery cages, the size of the trough, the water level, etc., will affect the laying of the laying hens. Chicken farmers want high yields of laying hens, and they must do it in these areas.
