In the winter when egg production in laying hens drops or stops completely, it's possible to maintain and feed the hens with minimal or no traditional feed, as long as their health is ensured. This strategy focuses on reducing feeding costs by utilizing coarse materials and fine additives effectively. By paying attention to small details, farmers can maximize economic returns from chicken raising. The process can be broken down into three main steps.
First, gather all available leftover plant materials that fall during the autumn season, such as sweet potato vines, bean husks, glutinous rice, sorghum stalks, corn cobs, and other fibrous plant residues. These materials should be crushed using a grinder for better digestion. Then, prepare various supplements like soybean meal, fishmeal, bone meal, trace minerals, and essential amino acids. The more diverse the roughage sources, the better it is for the hens' diet.
Second, after thoroughly mixing the roughage, combine it with the supplements—ideally 80-85% roughage and 15-20% concentrated feeds and additives. This mixture not only helps reduce feed expenses but also keeps the hens feeling full. Under the influence of these additives, the concentrated feeds are fully utilized by the hens’ digestive system, providing energy to support their metabolic needs and body temperature. In some cases, this diet may even result in limited egg production.
Third, as spring approaches and egg-laying resumes, gradually replace the roughage with more energy-dense ingredients like corn, dried pumpkin, and sorghum. Increase the amount of fishmeal, soybean cake, peanut meal, bone meal, and lysine to boost the hens' productivity. This adjustment enhances feed efficiency and maximizes the economic benefits of raising chickens. By carefully managing feed composition throughout the year, farmers can achieve both sustainability and profitability in their poultry operations.
