During the peak period of egg production and when it enters the secondary egg production stage, layer chickens rapidly increase their demand for calcium. There are different requirements for calcium source selection, calcium supplementation time, quantity of calcium supplementation, and methods and effects of calcium supplementation. First, the choice of calcium source feed. Calcareous feeds are best made from seafood. The large shells are crushed to a size of 8-12 mesh, free of fine sand, and have a calcium content of 35-37%, which is an excellent calcium feed for laying hens. Second, calcium time. Many hens produce eggs in the morning. Half an hour after laying eggs, the next egg yolk is discharged from the ovary into the fallopian tube. Therefore, the production of hens does not require calcium supplementation in the morning. After 14 o’clock in the afternoon, as the egg shell deposition rate increases, the amount of calcium consumed by chickens also increases. Therefore, in order to make egg-laying more eggs and produce good eggs, it is best to supply calcium chickens with layered feed at 12-18 hours a day. 3, the amount of calcium. The more calcium is better, the better. For each layer of laying hens, 4.4 grams of calcium is required for each egg. The 3-3.5% calcium content in the diet can meet the egg production requirement. If the dietary calcium content exceeds 4%, it will have an adverse effect: on the one hand, it will make the palatability of the feed worse, leading to a decrease in the feed intake of the chicken; on the other hand, it will cause the accumulation of urate in the hens, resulting in diarrhea, serious Gout symptoms also occur. 4, calcium methods and effects. Calcium source feeds can be placed on their own, allowing any chicken to eat freely or mixed in the diet. Experiments have shown that feeding calcium source feed can significantly increase egg production, fertilization rate, hatching rate of eggs, serum calcium content and eggshell thickness.
