Egg size in layers will depend on the following…
Breed
Body weight ( heavier birds lay larger eggs)
Age – egg size increases with age
Disease conditions – In general, any disease or infection or stress cause reduction in egg size. Egg drop syndrome, IB, ND, influenza cause reduced egg size
Nutrition – optimum nutrition is essential to maintain egg number and egg size. Deficiency of energy, protein, amino acids etc reduces egg size. Both the Quality and quantity of feed given is important.
Inadequate light and water, hear stress can also reduce egg size.

broiler weight at 35 days 2-2.4 kg as per nutrition, breed, management, weather, space

Appearances of comb in poultry largely reflect it’s health condition.
Healthy birds will have bright, shiny and errect combs.
Following are some of the indications of poor health:
1. Pale comb – indicates underlying disease conditions which has led to disturbance in the metabolism or circulatory system. Eg. Anaemia, parasitic infection, fatty liver and kidney syndrome etc
Pale and shrivelled/ droopy comb is also noticed in layers with less or no egg production, hence can be used as one of the criterion to judge layers for production performance.
2. Swollen and bluish comb – indicates certain disease conditions involving respiratory and circulatory system Eg: Infections coryza, CRD, avian influenza, IBH etc
3. Lesions on the comb (blisters or vesicles) : seen in fowl pox and T2 toxicosis.

What are the health advantages of using soy oil as a cooking oil compared to other commonly used oils?
-
Adding soy to your diet can provide numerous health benefits, including a rich source of high-quality protein and essential amino acids. Soy is also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, contributing to heart health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. It contains isoflavones, which may help alleviate menopausal symptoms and support bone health. Furthermore, incorporating soy can promote sustainable eating practices, as it has a lower environmental impact compared to animal-based proteins.

Certainly! Here’s a structured overview addressing your questions on the adaptation of advanced technologies in milking animal health care:
1. Importance of Latest Devices and Technological Supports
The incorporation of advanced devices and technologies is crucial for several reasons:
- Efficiency: Smart sensors and IoT devices can automate monitoring, reducing manual labor and minimizing human error.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Real-time data collection allows for informed decision-making regarding animal health and farm management.
- Improved Animal Welfare: Continuous monitoring can detect health issues early, leading to timely interventions and better overall animal care.
2. Role of Technology for Farmers and Investors
- For Farmers:
- Enhanced Monitoring: Sensors can track vital signs, feeding patterns, and environmental conditions, ensuring optimal health and productivity.
- Resource Management: Technologies help optimize resource use (e.g., water, feed), reducing waste and costs.
- For Investors:
- Risk Mitigation: Data analytics can identify trends and potential risks, helping to safeguard investments.
- Market Competitiveness: Adoption of advanced technologies can position farms as leaders in efficiency and sustainability, attracting more investment opportunities.
3. Cost-Benefit Analysis
- Initial Investment vs. Long-Term Gains: While the upfront costs for advanced technologies may be significant, the long-term savings from improved efficiency, reduced labor costs, and enhanced productivity often outweigh these initial expenses.
- Return on Investment (ROI): Increased milk production, reduced veterinary costs, and better resource management contribute to a favorable ROI, making the investment in technology financially viable over time.
Additional Considerations
- Training and Adaptation: It is essential to provide training for farmers to effectively use these technologies, ensuring they are maximally beneficial.
- Scalability: Technologies should be adaptable for different farm sizes and types, allowing for broader adoption across the industry.
- Sustainability: The integration of these technologies often aligns with sustainable farming practices, contributing to environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
Invitation for Further Discussion
I encourage all professionals in this group to share their experiences and insights on the adoption of these technologies. Together, we can explore best practices, challenges, and innovative solutions in this evolving field.
Feel free to expand on any specific area or share additional questions for a deeper discussion!
