Apart from physiological decline in egg production due to age, molting and broodiness, other reasons include :
NUTRITION : Deficiency of protein, vitamins, minerals; bad quality of feed, improper particle size, improper mixing, mycotoxins, inadequate number of feeders and waterers
MANAGEMENT : Poor ventilation, insufficient light hours (<16 hours), overcrowding, stress (heat/cold)
DISEASES : Bacterial (salmonella, Ecoli, Mycoplasma etc); Viral (EDS, avian influenza, ND, IB, fowl pox etc); Parasitic ( ecto parasites and endo parasites).
Assess the drop in egg production for pattern — change in feed, sudden or gradual drop in production, change in weather conditions , introduction of new flock, other symptoms noticed etc, to diagnose the condition and proceed accordingly

The most important nutrients for egg production are <mark>protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3, and the amino acids lysine and methionine</mark>. Deficiencies lead to problems like thin, weak, or no eggshells, reduced egg production, and health issues such as lameness, deformed bones, and poor feather quality.
