1. What's going on with chickens laying soft eggs
Chickens lay soft eggs, mainly due to the lack of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Improper feeding management, such as excessive flock density, stress, irritation, insufficient feed or insufficient grit intake, often make hens not get enough minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. The main components of eggshell are calcium carbonate and organic matter, calcium carbonate is ingested by the hen from the outside, and organic matter is secreted by the substances in the hen's body. If the hen is deficient in minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, it will affect the synthesis of the eggshell, making the eggshell thinner and easier to break.
Second, how to treat soft eggs laid by chickens
1.Add bone meal, eggshell powder or calcium carbonate powder to the feed, and feed the chickens some fish bones, eggshells, or give the chickens 3 5 grams of calcium and phosphorus and other mineral feed every day.
2.2% choline chloride is added to the feed and rich in vitamin D3 or cod liver oil is provided to promote calcium and phosphorus absorption and deposition. It is also possible to add about 15% lime powder to the feed.
3.For chickens laying soft eggs caused by factors such as disease or flock density, the primary ** should be solved first, and measures such as strengthening feeding management should be taken at the same time, and the feed can be changed or the feeding method can be changed if necessary.
4.During the ** period, the protein content in the feed should be appropriately reduced, and attention should be paid to supplementing the vitamin and mineral feed.
5.For chickens that have shown symptoms, you can take oral vitamin D3, cod liver oil and other measures**, and at the same time strengthen feeding management, maintain a quiet environment, and avoid disturbing the chickens.
6.For chickens that have shown severe symptoms, they should be eliminated in time to prevent the spread of the disease.
7.For the whole flock, regular health checks and monitoring should be carried out to identify and deal with problems in a timely manner. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining the hygiene and ventilation of the chicken house, and avoid adverse factors such as excessive density affecting the health and production performance of the chickens.
In conclusion, chickens laying soft eggs is a common disease, but as long as the right measures are taken for ** and prevention, the occurrence and spread of the disease can be effectively controlled. In the process of feeding, attention should be paid to strengthening feeding management, providing sufficient nutrients and suitable environmental conditions to promote the health of chickens and the improvement of production performance.
