Moderator: A chicken is counted from hatching. It takes 18-20 weeks to prepare for laying eggs, and it is time for farmers to see the benefits. At this stage, the villagers should also pay attention to what management points, and look at today’s experts face to face. Da Kuan: Party teacher. In the last issue, we talked about the management of young chickens. What does it say today? Senior animal pastor Dang Junying: Let's talk about the late breeding period and the feeding and management in the early stage of production. Big wide: Big brother Liu, how old is your chicken? Shi Tanzhuang Liu Wenhai, Shijiazhuang City: 18 weeks. Big wide: 18 weeks old is what we have to talk about this stage. Senior animal pastor Dang Junying: It has entered the breeding period. Big wide: This is a fellow hen house, right? Audience and friends Hello everyone, today we talked about late breeding, feeding and management in the pre-production period. We once again came to Tatan Village in Shijiazhuang City, and we went into the hen house to hear what the party teacher said. Da Kuan: Party teacher, what should you pay attention to before laying hens? Senior animal pastor Dang Junying: To do a good job of preparatory work, the first is feed. To select a good feed, it cannot be changed after it is fixed, until it reaches the peak. How to change the feed, to 18 weeks of age, from raw materials into antenatal preparations, the transition period is 10-12 days, according to 30%, 50% 70% of the transition. Liu Tanhai, Tantan Village, Shijiazhuang City: Party teacher, can you change the hurry? Half or half of the line is not OK? Da Kuan: Party teacher, it seems that Liu brother is a bit anxious and wants to renew the chicken early. Senior Party Pastor Dianjun Jun: It is not OK to be anxious. I have to change it in accordance with the transition period I mentioned. According to the degree of growth and development, the replacement of food should be carried out. The positive and negative degrees of uniformity should not exceed 10%. The upper limit must be set to allow enough energy, protein, and calcium to be stored, and the peak period can be increased. Dakuan: Party teachers, in addition to feed, there are other things that need attention? Senior animal pastor Dang Junying: Water. Water is very important. Water is the carrier of nutrition. Especially when it is at its peak, the amount of water is doubled during the breeding period. Check the drinking fountains, including drinking water tanks, water bowls, and nipple drinkers in particular. Pre-production feeding management: Choose a good feed during the breeding period, and it should not be changed at will so as to avoid stress. By the age of 18 weeks, a gradual transition to prepartum was made at a rate of 30%, 50%, and 70%, with a transition period of 10-12 days. In addition, sufficient water should be supplied, and drinking fountains, especially nipple drinkers, should be checked frequently. Liu Tanhai, Tantan Village, Shijiazhuang City: Party teacher, as you said, the seedlings are finished, is it right? Da Kuan: Party teacher, I think Liu Dage's chicken looks good and pretty. Senior animal pastor Dang Junying: The appearance is on the one hand, and more importantly, antibody testing must be carried out. If there is no antibody, it should be added before the egg production rate reaches 30%, otherwise it is easy to go wrong during the peak period. Dakuan: Party teacher, I think the equipment in the Big Brother chicken farm is very neat and clean. Senior animal pastor Dang Junying: Yes. To check the equipment, the waterer, water level, and cage must all be fixed. If the cage slope is too large to adjust, a slope of 12 degrees is most appropriate. In addition, doors and windows, skylights, and windows have to be sealed with wire mesh to prevent birds from flying in. Comprehensive measures: Before starting production, carry out antibody testing. For those who do not have antibodies, they should fill in before the egg production rate is 30%. The equipment in the chicken farm should be ready and the cage slope of 12 degrees is the most appropriate. Doors and windows, skylights, and windows must be sealed with wire mesh to prevent other animals from entering the environment. Da Kuan: Party teacher, I think you have repeatedly mentioned the word stress, is this chicken at this stage particularly vulnerable to stress? Senior animal pastor Dang Junying: Yes. This period is its physiologically sensitive period. It is very sensitive to the temperature of the feed water. It can't work if there is a sign of trouble. Therefore, it should be safe and quiet, and it should be well protected from entering the peak of egg production. Talk about so much today. BIG: Well, I would like to sum up what the teacher said. You have to do a good job in terms of feed, water, and immunity to ensure that it goes smoothly into the peak period. Today's show is here, goodbye to the next show. 16 Slice CT,Veterinary Radiology,Micro Computed Tomography,Diagnostic Imaging In The Veterinary MinFound Medical Systems Co., Ltd , https://www.minfoundmed.com
