What is going on with the chicken laying soft eggs, how to cure itChicken soft-shell eggs are a problem that many farmers often encounter in the breeding process, especially for some new farmers, it may not be clear how to solve it. In fact, there are many reasons why chickens lay soft-shell eggs, and the following will analyze these reasons and give corresponding solutions.
1. The reason why chickens lay soft-shell eggs
1.Nutritional deficiencies: Soft-shell eggs laid by chickens may be caused by insufficient nutrients in the feed. When farmers feed chickens, if the feed is not properly matched, or the nutrients added are insufficient, it will lead to insufficient nutrient intake of chickens, thus laying soft-shell eggs.
2.Environmental impact: The environment in which chickens lay their eggs also affects the quality of their eggshells. If the chicken is in a high temperature and humidity environment for a long time, or is disturbed by fright, noise, etc., it will affect the normal formation of eggshells and lead to soft-shelled eggs.
3.Disease effects: Some diseases can also cause chickens to lay soft-shelled eggs. Infectious diseases such as Newcastle disease and chicken pox, as well as nutritional diseases such as vitamin D deficiency, can adversely affect the formation of eggshells.
Second, the solution of soft-shell eggs laid by chickens
1.Adjust the feed formula: In view of the problem of insufficient nutrition, farmers should adjust the feed formula in time and increase the amount of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, especially calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, to ensure that chickens can consume enough nutrients. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the rationality of feed matching to ensure balanced nutrition.
2.Improve environmental conditions: Farmers should provide chickens with a comfortable and quiet egg production environment, maintain appropriate temperature and humidity, and avoid the impact of extreme environmental conditions such as high temperature and high humidity or low temperature and high humidity on egg shell formation. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid the influence of distracting factors such as fright and noise on the chickens.
3.Prevention and control of diseases: For the problem of soft shell eggs caused by diseases, farmers should take timely prevention and control measures. For infectious diseases, regular vaccinations and prophylactic dosing are carried out;For nutritional diseases, it is necessary to increase the amount of vitamins and minerals. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the mental state and egg production of the chickens, and find and deal with the problem in time.
4.Drug**: For flocks that have soft-shell eggs, the method of drug** can be adopted. Commonly used drugs include calcium and phosphorus tablets, cod liver oil, etc., which can supplement the nutrients needed by chickens and promote the formation of eggshells. At the same time, some traditional Chinese medicine preparations can also be used**, such as "breaking the wall and breaking the stone" and other Chinese herbal medicines have the effect of promoting the formation of eggshells.
5.Precautions: While taking the above measures, farmers should also pay attention to the following matters. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the water source is clean and hygienic, and avoid drinking sewage or polluted water sources;Secondly, the chicken coop should be cleaned regularly to maintain a dry, hygienic and ventilated environmentFinally, it is necessary to strictly implement epidemic prevention procedures and deal with sick and dead chickens and suspected sick chickens in a timely manner.
In short, for the problem of soft-shell eggs laid by chickens, farmers should analyze and solve them from many aspects. Adjusting feed formulations, improving environmental conditions, preventing diseases, medicines**, and paying attention to water sources, house hygiene and epidemic prevention are all effective solutions. At the same time, farmers should also strengthen daily management, regularly inspect the situation of the chickens, and deal with problems in time to ensure the health and production efficiency of the chickens.
In addition, for some of the more serious soft-shell egg problems, farmers can consider choosing from the perspective of breeds. Different breeds of chickens have different adaptability to the environment, disease resistance and production performance, and choosing a breed suitable for the local environment and production needs can effectively reduce the probability of laying soft-shell eggs. At the same time, for the problem of soft-shell eggs caused by some genetic factors, it can be improved by breeding excellent varieties.
In addition, some farmers may use some soil methods or home remedies to solve the problem of soft-shell eggs, such as adding lime water, bone broth, etc. Although these methods may have some effects to a certain extent, there are also certain risks and uncertainties. Therefore, it is recommended that farmers consult professional advice or conduct scientific experiments before adopting these methods to avoid unnecessary losses and food safety problems.
To sum up, solving the problem of soft-shelled eggs under chickens needs to start from many aspects. Farmers should pay attention to daily management, feed nutrition, environmental control and disease prevention and control, and at the same time choose the appropriate solution in combination with the actual situation. Only in this way can we effectively solve the problem of soft-shell eggs laid by chickens and improve production efficiency and food safety level.
