For this purpose it is only required to build the suitable room for a bird, to look after her and to observe the fodder mode.
In cultivation of layers it is necessary to know the basic rules, one of which is feeding of a bird. In many respects depends on it how many your chicken will bring eggs in a year. The high yaytsenoskost of chickens comes approximately from 26 to 49 week of life. The age plays a considerable role in the choice of food of a bird.
How to feed layers
The layer at any age should be fed evenly and regularly, without allowing overfeeding or a nedokarmlivaniye. It is desirable to feed a bird at the same time 2-3 times a day. It is better to carry out morning feeding right after awakening of chickens. In the evening the bird is fed for an hour before she begins to take seat on a perch.
For young layers add more nutrients to a diet, than for old. It is more preferable to prepare a forage from damp bourgeoises in the morning, and give whole grain in the evening. It is better to diversify it, but not to give some one. The number of the bourgeois has to be such that chicken could eat her minutes for 30-40. Otherwise there will be an acidulation of a product. The remains of a forage remove not to allow emergence of a mold. Differs in summer of sterns of chickens layers from winter a little. During this time a considerable part of forages is made by fresh greens. It is possible to give small chopped water-melon crusts. From them eggs become more tasty. Regularly give a reasonable nettle. In the winter of a forage with addition of bourgeoises give less, than in the summer. At this time they are trained on warm meat or fish broth, it is possible to prepare also on the warmed-up serum. A part of grain forages is recommended to be given germinated. For this purpose grain needs to be wetted in warm water and to spread out a thin layer to fabrics in the warm room. In several days, sprouts will appear.
The products entering a forage of layers
Forages for layers have to contain fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and mineral salts. If food is rather balanced, then the yaytsenoskost of a bird will increase. The large role in it is played by ready compound feeds for chickens layers. In day the approximate expense of this forage on one bird makes 120 grams. For preparation of a forage for layers use bean plants, cereals, fish and meat and bone meal, vegetables, bran, cottage cheese and milk, chalk, fodder phosphates, salt, small gravel and sand. For increase in a yaytsenoskost by 1 kg of a flour forage add 30 g of the yeast divorced in warm water. It is impossible to forget about drinking water. And it is recommended to give to chickens weak solution of potassium permanganate in the morning. For this purpose use any ware, except metal. An approximate diet on one layer following. Mix flour and grain - on 50 g; vegetables - it is no more than 50 g; dry protein feeds - 15 g; the crushed shell - 5 g; bone meal - 2 g; salt - 0.5 g; greens - 30 g.
