Analysis of the causes of sudden drop in egg production in chickens

General chicken production has a certain rule, that is, a few weeks after the start of production can reach the peak of egg production, after a sustained period of time, it began to slowly decline, this trend continues until the end of egg production. If laying hens change this trend, the egg production rate will suddenly drop. At this time, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the production situation in a timely manner. Through analysis, identify the causes and take appropriate measures.

The reason for the sudden drop in egg production

(1) Climate impact. 1 Seasonal changes: Especially in the four seasons in northern China, the temperature difference changes greatly when the seasons change. If the broiler house insulation effect is not ideal, it will have a greater stress effect on the laying hens and cause a sudden drop in egg production. 2 Disastrous weather effects: If a flock of chickens suddenly suffers unexpected and severe weather, such as heat waves, cold currents, storms, and snow.

(2) Poor management. 1 stop the water or cut off the material: If the birds feed insufficiently or cut off water for a few days, the egg production will suddenly drop. 2 Insufficient nutrition or sudden changes: Insufficient content of protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., in the feed, and inappropriate proportions of the ingredients will cause a drop in egg production. 3 Stress: There are abnormal sounds in the house. Small animals such as rats, cats, and birds break into the house, as well as the management staff catching the chicken and cleaning the excrement, etc., all of which can cause the flock to be suddenly frightened and cause the stress response of the flock. 4 Loss of light control: A sudden power outage in the house, shortening of the illumination time, weakening of the light intensity, sudden and long illumination time, and sudden stop of the lighting switch, which are not conducive to the normal production of the flock. 5 Inadequate ventilation in the house: The mechanically ventilated house has a long power outage in the hot summer; in winter, the ventilation of the house for a long time without ventilation, the air pollution in the house can affect the normal production of the flock. egg.

(3) Disease factors. Acute infectious diseases such as chicken Newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, infectious laryngotracheitis and egg dropping syndrome all affect the normal egg production of chickens. In addition, vaccination during laying of laying hens and overdosing of drugs can cause toxic side effects, which can also result in decreased egg production in the flock.

(4) Simultaneous production and production date synchronization.
