How to cultivate laying hens?
Thursday,7 April 2022
On this occasion, I would like to share step by step about laying hens cultivation which has been proven to produce satisfactory yields.
Before that you have to decide which type of laying hens are suitable for you to cultivate, and here are the types of laying hens that you can consider choosing as the type of chicken that you will cultivate.
1. Type of laying hens.
There are two types of laying hens, namely medium laying hens and light laying hens.
Light layer chicken
This lightweight laying hens has a lighter body weight than other laying hens, this chicken is also often called white laying hens because the eggs produced are also white, and this chicken is able to produce 250-280 eggs per year.
Medium layer chicken
In contrast to light laying hens, medium laying hens have a heavier and larger weight, most of these laying hens have brown feathers like the color of the eggs produced and these chickens are able to produce as many as 280-300 eggs per year.
2. Laying hens cage system.
Colony cage system: we can make a colony cage, which accommodates laying hens in one group, this cage is used to accommodate large numbers of adult chickens in each partition, and colony cages are widely used because they save space and cost of manufacture
Individual cage system: individual cages is a system where we put our laying hens individually in each cage, this type of cage takes up a lot of space but makes it easier for us to check our chickens.
3. Equipment for laying hens.
There are several important tools that you must prepare for this laying hens cultivation business, including:
Feeding place
Drinking places
Ration place
Supplement place
Cage lighting system
Egg-laying place
Litter
Perch for chickens
We have to prepare all the equipment so that our laying hens cultivation business can be maximized.
4. Supplementation can also increase crop yields.
In this case, what we want, of course, as laying hens cultivators, we expect a lot of eggs to be produced, therefore we can also provide supplements to our laying hens.
We can give this supplement through a mixture of food ingredients that we usually give to chickens.
5. Understand the productive period of laying hens.
The age of laying hens in producing eggs is about 1.5-2 years. But we also need to pay attention, the older the age of the chickens in the cage will also reduce the productivity of the chickens.
It's a good idea to replace it with younger chickens for maximum productivity.
These are some of the steps you must take when you want to cultivate laying hens, having this profession is also very profitable for us because the eggs produced by chickens will certainly be sold to the market or to egg traders in need.
Because chicken eggs are a daily food requirement for humans, the potential to make money from laying hens is highly recommended, as long as we can be patient and painstaking in caring for our chickens.
Pay attention to every step you take in the cultivation of laying hens so that the results are maximized.
