HOUSING SYSTEMS BIOSECURITY HOUSING & BROODING EARLY MANAGEMENT LIGHTING NUTRITION HEALTH HATCHING EGG MANAGEMENT 39 39 LOHMANN › MANAGEMENT GUIDE ONSET OF LAY As birds approach the onset of lay, it is important to manage their environment to support continued growth and reproductive development. This includes maintaining appropriate temperatures, ventilation, and lighting conditions, as well as ensuring access to high-quality feed and water. The transition to the laying house should be managed carefully to minimise stress and support a smooth adaptation to the new environment. PRODUCTION PERIOD During the production period, the focus is on maintaining body weight, feed intake, and overall health to support sustained egg production. Regular monitoring of body weight, feed and water consumption, and egg production is essential. Management practices should aim to optimise the environment, including lighting, ventilation, and biosecurity measures, to ensure the health and productivity of the flock. 0–20 WEEKS STAGE 3: 20–30 WEEKS 18 20
