In last week’s post, we looked at what prolapse is and the key factors that can lead to this issue in laying hens. 🐔
Today, we’ll focus on how to prevent prolapse and protect both flock welfare and egg production.
There is no effective treatment for prolapse — which makes prevention essential.
💡 Prevention tips:
• Photo-stimulate only when birds reach the correct age and body weight (typically around 17 weeks).
• Provide balanced feed rations formulated specifically for pullets and layers.
• Watch closely for early signs of vent pecking and act quickly.
• Manage nest boxes to prevent hens from staying inside longer than necessary.
Good management, proper lighting, and balanced nutrition are key to minimizing risk and maintaining a healthy, productive flock.
