Twitter @juangangel Eggs are a common food in the human diet, they contain high biological value proteins and provide nutrients to all those who consume them; before reaching your table and to achieve the necessary quality, laying hens undergo a meticulous management process that we will learn about in depth in our program friends of the field... CONSTRUCTIONS It is recommended that the long axis of the shed be in a north-south direction in cold climates and east-west in warm climates. The floor must have adequate hygiene conditions and can be made of earth or cement. The bed must be a 15-centimeter thick layer of shavings or rice husks. The ideal temperature inside the shed from 18 weeks of life (start of the production stage) should be between 15 and 21°C. When hens in their productive stage are subjected to temperatures higher than 25°C, water consumption increases, appetite decreases and their ability to produce eggs decreases. DRINKING WATER It is advisable to use chlorine for its treatment and to eliminate the bacteria that make your birds sick. Use liquid household bleaches, which are based on calcium hypochlorite (5% to 6% concentration). For every 10 liters of water, use 1.5 milliliters of bleach and let it act for a minimum of 6 hours before giving the water to your birds. If you cannot get chlorine, you can use an iodine compound continuously, at a rate of 0.3 ml/liter of water. If the water to be treated is not completely transparent, it must be passed through a filter to retain organic matter so that the chlorine can work properly. It is not enough to treat the water. It is also necessary that the pipes are constantly washed and that the drinkers are cleaned daily. Source https://www.solla.com/sites/default/f... Juan Gonzalo Angel Restrepo www.tvagro.tv
