Scientific calcium supplementation for laying hens

Calcium is an indispensable mineral feed for laying hens. If there is insufficient calcium in the diet, it will directly affect the egg production, shell thickness and egg fertilization rate, chick hatching rate, and serum calcium content.

1, calcium supplement time

Egg-laying hens lay more eggs in the morning. Half an hour after the egg is laid, the next yolk is discharged from the ovary into the fallopian tube, so egg-laying hens generally do not need calcium supplements in the morning. After 14:00 in the afternoon, as the egg shell deposition rate increases, the amount of calcium consumed by the chicken also increases. Therefore, in order for egg-laying chickens to produce more eggs and produce better eggs, it is best to supplement calcium feedstuffs every day from 12:00 to 18:00.

2, the amount of calcium

Egg production requires calcium supplementation, but it is not as good as it is. In general, each laying hen needs calcium 4.4g, and the calcium content in the diet can reach 3.0%-3.5% to meet the production needs of the hens. If the diet contains more than 4.0% calcium, it will have an adverse effect, on the one hand, it will cause accumulation of urate in the hens cause indigestion caused by diarrhea, severe gout symptoms; on the other hand will make feed The palatability deteriorated and the feed intake of the flock decreased. Therefore, the calcium supplement must pay attention to timely and appropriate amount.

3, the choice of calcium source feed

The choice of calcium feed is best for marine coarse shell powder. The coarse shell powder is crushed by large shells into particles of 8 to 12 mesh size, free of fine sand, and the calcium content is generally 35% to 37%. It is a high-quality calcium feed for laying hens.

4, feeding methods and effects

The calcium source feed can be placed on its own, any chicken can feed freely, and can also be mixed and fed in the feed. Experiments have shown that laying chickens fed calcium source feed can significantly increase egg production, egg fertilization rate, hatching rate, serum calcium content, and eggshell thickness.

Optical Ball Lens

Ball Lenses are commonly used to improve signal quality in fiber coupling applications, or for use in endoscopy or bar code scanning applications. Ball Lenses feature short back focal lengths to minimize the distance needed from the Ball Lens to the optical fiber.
Half-Ball (hemispherical) lenses are ideal for applications such as fiber communication,endoscopy, microscopy, optical pick-up devices,and laser measurement systems.

Worldhawk can provide spherical ball lenses and half ball lenses in a range of substrates for performance in the ultraviolet to the NIR. Such as including H-K9L(N-BK7), Sapphire, CaF2, BaF2, ZnSe or custom materials upon request.
