Common causes of low egg production in layer farms include improper nutrition, stress from environmental changes or handling, advancing age, inadequate lighting or dehydration, diseases and parasite infestations, and normal molting or broodiness.

The difference between double-layer conditioning and single-layer conditioning is the degree of curing.
Double-layer conditioning is limited to increase the production, mainly due to the higher degree of curing and better particle shaping.

Pellet mills typically utilize a single, larger motor, which is more efficient in converting electrical energy into mechanical power when compared to double smaller motors. The single motor arrangement can lead to reduced energy consumption and simpler maintenance processes.however,the cooking of double drive/conditioner will leads better cooking,better sterilization

Calcium is a macro/ major mineral in poultry required for bone health, shell quality and proper metabolism.
Deficiency of calcium causes:
Brittle bones / rickets, leg deformities, lameness
In layers, Ca deficiency can lead to soft / porous shells, reduced egg production – number and size
Since Ca is required for muscle contraction and nervous functioning, deficiency can cause muscle weakness, tremors, weakness, paralysis etc
In breeders, Ca deficiency can lead to reduced fertility and hatchabilty,

“What could be the cause of greenish diarrhea in laying birds, and what are the possible solutions?

Early detection and treatment of any infection / disease is very crucial in poultry farms. Delay in detection can lead to losses due to spread of disease to other birds, eventually leading to production drop and/or mortality.
Consider following points:
* Monitor the birds daily – for feed/water intake, behaviour, production level, early signs of any infection
* To have better understanding of any change in the flock, proper records to be maintained – health, medication, vaccination, mortality, feed registers etc
* Train workers for detection of very early signs of any disease and report the same to the supervisors/vets
* initiate suitable treatment without any delay, based on symptoms and PM lesions
* Isolate the sick birds and treat. Check for vaccination status of the rest of the flock
* Further, send samples to labs for confirmatory diagnosis
* Also, consider gathering information about similar outbreaks in other farms in the vicinity.
* Maintain proper biosecurity
