2. The design and installation of eggshell cage should be reasonable: when designing the eggshell cage, the bottom of the cage is inclined, which is for the convenience of rolling eggs to the eggshell, but when choosing and purchasing, the farmer should pay attention to the slope of the bottom of the cage to 8-9 degrees, too small eggs are not easy to roll out, if the angle is too large, the eggs are easy to roll too fast to break, and the connection between the two cages is connected by wire. Together, in order to avoid the gap through which the eggs fall out, the cage should have a higher strength to prevent deformation in use.
3. Be diligent in picking eggs: too many eggs are accumulated in the eggshell can easily affect the breakage rate of eggs, so breeders should pay attention to picking eggs diligently. When picking eggs more times every day, it can reduce the breakage caused by collision, and also can reduce the breakage caused by pecking chickens. It is recommended that conditional breeders can buy an automatic egg picker to collect eggs.
4. Maintain the health of the flock: healthy laying hens will lay healthy eggs. Eggs laid by diseased laying hens will certainly have problems. Therefore, breeders should pay attention to the health problems of laying hens. Respiratory infection, enteritis, salpingitis, atypical Newcastle disease and so on will cause the egg shell thinning or uneven texture, which may lead to soft-shelled eggs and shelled eggs. Therefore, good hygiene and epidemic prevention work to maintain the health of chickens is very important to maintain a high egg production and good eggshell quality.
5. Mitigating the effect of high temperature: It is summer now, the feed intake and health status of laying hens affected by high temperature will be affected. Farmers should take timely measures to adjust the feed ratio and give reasonable cooling to the henhouse. When the temperature of the henhouse exceeds 25 C, the eggshell will become thinner. When the temperature of the henhouse exceeds 32 C, the rate of broken eggs will increase significantly.
6. Prevent startle: Laying hens may cause abnormal peristalsis of fallopian tubes after being startled, which will lead to the early production of eggs in the process of formation, and increase the number of thin, soft or no-shell eggs. The panic may also be caused by the turmoil of chickens, resulting in deformation of cage nets, crushing or stepping on eggs.
7. Prevent pecking eggs: pecking eggs is a manifestation of hen's heterophilia. In addition to often picking eggs, eggpeckers should be placed in the upper cage. If they are low-yielding chickens themselves, they can be eliminated in advance. Reduce the damage of eggs in the process of picking and handling.
