In hot summer days, laying hens are susceptible to problems such as decreased appetite and decreased feed intake, and therefore their egg production is affected. In order to maintain the high yield of laying hens in summer, their dietary levels should be adjusted to "three increases and one reduction."
Appropriately increase protein feed. Summer temperatures are high, and due to the effects of heat stress, chicken feed intake will decrease significantly. If nutrients are not added to the diet, they will not be able to meet the need for growth and production of laying hens due to reduced feed intake. Because of the lack of protein in the summer diet of laying hens, it will directly affect the egg production, so the protein content in the summer diet should be 1% to 2% higher than in other seasons. That is, it is necessary to increase the feed of soybean cake or cottonseed cake in the diet, and the amount can reach 20% to 25%. In addition, the amount of animal protein feed such as fish meal, meat blood meal or fish and shrimp waste can account for 5% to 7% of the feed.
Appropriately increase mineral feed. In summer, most laying hens are in the middle and later stages of peak egg production. The demand for calcium in the flock is increased. Therefore, the calcium and phosphorus ratio in the diet should be appropriate, and the calcium content in the general compound feed should be adjusted to 3.8%. Excessive or too little calcium content in compound feeds will have an effect on the palatability of the ingredients and the egg production rate of the chickens. In order to increase the intake of calcium without affecting the palatability of the feed, the shell powder can be separated from the feed and fed in a single tank, allowing the chicken to feed freely to meet the needs.
Appropriately increase green feed and heat stress additives. Adding some green and succulent feeds to the layer chicken diet in summer can reduce the amount of multivitamins in the feed, even without feeding multivitamins (obtained from the green feed), and feeding the green and juicy feed can also increase the amount of feed. Palatability, saving part of the diet and reducing the cost of raising chickens. At the same time, some anti-heat stress drugs such as VC and baking soda can be added to the feed. To reduce the impact of high temperature on layer chickens. The amount of green feed should be appropriate, generally not exceeding 30% to 40% of the diet.
Reduce energy feed appropriately because summer temperatures are high. The energy required for a chicken to maintain its own body temperature is much less than in the cold season. Therefore, in the summer, the concentration of corn and other high-energy fine materials should be properly reduced in the diet of layer hens, and the amount thereof should not exceed 50% to 55% in summer. At the same time, some bran-type roughage feeds with low energy content can be added, and the amount used is generally not more than 15%-20%.
