CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Causes and treatments of acute production reduction in laying hens

Laying hens are one of the most widely raised poultry in farms, but occasionally there will be acute production reduction in laying hens, which seriously affects the breeding benefits. So, what exactly causes the acute production reduction in laying hens? What treatments can help restore the egg-laying ability of laying hens? This article will give you detailed answers.

Causes of acute production reduction in laying hens

There may be several reasons for acute production loss in laying hens, the most common reasons include:

• Malnutrition: Laying hens need to take in enough nutrients to maintain normal egg-laying ability. If the protein, vitamins and minerals in the feed are insufficient, the laying hen will produce less eggs.
• Environmental pressure: Laying hens have a weak ability to adapt to the environment. If there are factors such as noise, high or low temperature, poor air quality, etc. in the breeding environment, it will have an adverse effect on the egg-laying ability of laying hens.
• Disease infection: Laying hens may suffer from various diseases, such as infectious bronchitis, fowl typhoid, etc. These diseases will cause the physical condition of laying hens to deteriorate, thereby affecting their egg-laying ability.
• Stress factors: If laying hens are subjected to sudden stress, such as mating, transportation, environmental changes, etc., their egg-laying ability will temporarily decrease.

Treatment methods for acute production reduction in laying hens

In view of the causes of acute production loss in laying hens, the following treatments can be taken to help restore their egg-laying ability:

• Feed optimization: By increasing the protein, vitamin and mineral content in laying hen feed and optimizing the feed formula, we can ensure that laying hens get enough nutrition and improve their egg-laying ability.
• Improve the breeding environment: Reasonably control the temperature, humidity, noise and other factors in the breeding environment, provide a good breeding environment, reduce the stress of laying hens, and help improve their egg-laying ability.
• Disease prevention: Regularly check the health status of laying hens, strengthen vaccination and disease prevention and control, reduce the risk of disease infection, and thus improve the egg-laying capacity of laying hens.
• Stress management: Reducing stress stimuli for laying hens, such as reducing the frequency of mating, avoiding excessive handling and environmental changes, can help alleviate the stress response of laying hens and improve their egg-laying ability.

It should be noted that when treating acute egg production loss in laying hens, comprehensive measures should be taken according to the actual situation to ensure the safety and effectiveness of feeding operations. In addition, professional veterinarians can also be asked to diagnose and treat to ensure that laying hens can resume normal egg production as soon as possible.
