Features: Poultry farming is the fastest-growing industry in the livestock sector worldwide, especially in China since the reform and opening-up, where poultry production has developed rapidly and undergone significant changes, with broiler production being particularly prominent. New commercial strains have been continuously developed, nutritional research has deepened, and environmental and equipment conditions have been continuously improved. In China, egg production has faced setbacks in recent years, but its production scale has been expanding, making it a crucial component of the country's livestock industry. Currently, China's egg industry is moving towards specialization, socialization, commercialization, and modernization, urgently requiring the improvement of breeding techniques and disease prevention and control. Therefore, to meet the needs of China's poultry industry, the authors have systematically studied and referenced domestic and international poultry farming and literature, drawing on successful production experiences from various regions, integrating their own work insights, and compiling "Standardized Production Technology for Laying Hens." Raising laying hens can quickly improve the supply of non-staple food in urban and rural areas, increase farmers' income, and accelerate the pace of poverty alleviation and wealth creation. This book specifically introduces modern hybrid laying hen strains, reproduction techniques, artificial incubation, nutrition and feed formulation technology, feeding management, housing construction, environmental control, disease prevention systems, product processing and transportation. The language is concise and clear, the content is systematic, practical, and easy to read and understand. It is suitable for, poultry farm workers, and poultry farming professionals for reference.
