Eggs can also be said to be the cheapest source of complete protein. Each egg can provide about 6 grams of protein, and its price is much cheaper than all kinds of meat. Therefore, in recent years, many people have followed the trend and entered the laying hen breeding industry. Some people greet the cheap and go to a remote place to invest in inbreeding, but find that the cost is higher than others. Buying chicken fry, feed, and medicine takes a long way to go. The place.
1. Large-scale breeding
Laying hens have entered the era of meager profit. Under normal circumstances, each layer will make a lifetime profit of about 20 yuan. In order to further increase the scale and land utilization rate, only through the scale effect can the breeding efficiency be improved. Large-scale breeding can not only effectively save social resources and reduce costs, but also effectively promote technological progress. It is a necessary foundation for implementing standardized production and improving the quality of livestock products. It is also in line with the current consumer health and safety concept of consumption. of.
2. Strengthen the disease prevention and control of layer farms
Layer farms are generally immunized against Marek, Newcastle disease, infectious bursal disease, infectious bronchitis, chickenpox, and lower egg production syndrome. When performing immunization procedures, pay attention to the selection, preservation, and vaccination methods of vaccines. Manure and sick and dead chickens are bad factors for spreading the disease. Dead chickens should be buried deep or treated in a harmless manner. Do not pile chicken manure near the chicken coop. Do a good job of daily hygiene and regular disinfection, especially after the chicken manure is removed, it must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected carefully.
3. Cultivate high-quality and robust chicks
During the brooding period, temperature and light must be controlled according to the corresponding feeding manual. Generally speaking, the brooding temperature starts at 33°C and decreases by 2°C per week until 21°C; the light starts from 24 hours a day and decreases by 2 hours per week to 12 hours. Vaccination should be carried out according to the routine immunization procedure, and the beak should be cut off at the age of 8 to 10 days. Attention should be paid to ventilation. Longitudinal ventilation and wet curtain ventilation are better. The key to the growing period is to control the weight and improve uniformity. The practice has shown that the uniformity of body weight between 16 to 18 weeks of age is positively correlated with egg-laying durability and survival rate. The tidiness is an important indicator of the success of cultivating reserve chickens. The body shape difference is small, the chicken flocks are well-developed, and the sexual maturity can be synchronized. The production time can be consistent in the future, and the egg production peak will be high.
4. Reduce feed costs
The feed cost of the layer farm accounts for 60% to 75% of the total cost, and some are even as high as 80% to 90%. If the feed cost is reduced by 0.1 yuan, a total of 50 kg of feed consumed by a layer of 500 days old is calculated, and 10,000 layers are raised, which can save 50,000 yuan in feed costs. ① Open up feed resources. Use low-cost, nutritious, self-produced or convenient raw materials for purchasing, according to the physiological characteristics of chickens at different stages, to achieve a reasonable preparation of rations.
5. Strengthen scientific management during the laying period
13-23℃ is the most suitable temperature range for chickens to lay eggs. Too high or too low temperature will affect the egg production rate and eggshell quality of chickens. Therefore, winter cold and warm work must be done. Good ventilation in the house. Ventilation and ventilation can discharge sewage and regulate the temperature and humidity in the house. Especially in large-scale intensive chicken farms, ventilation and air exchange play a very important role in the development of chicken egg production potential. Reducing stress factors Any sudden changes in environmental conditions will panic the chickens and cause a stress response, resulting in poor appetite, decreased egg production, and soft-shelled eggs. In addition to taking targeted measures to reduce stress factors, scientific chicken house management procedures should be formulated and strictly implemented, including lighting, ventilation, feeding, water supply, and food replacement.
6. The breeding risk is high, and risk funds should be prepared
Large-scale laying hens have a high investment: the first year includes fixed asset investment, and the laying hens will lay 60% of the eggs (when the laying rate is 60%, the investment in laying eggs can reach a balance, and there is basically no need for additional investment) about 85- 100 yuan/piece. Among them, the investment of laying hens is about 35 yuan per chicken, and the investment in re-raising chickens in the second year (batch) is not so high, and the investment is about 35 yuan per chicken to operate. On the basis of these funds, a certain amount of reserve money should be deposited in advance to prevent the emergency needs of the interruption of the capital chain.
