Correction of reproductive function and egg productivity of curly breed chicken under conditions of hot climate

Abstract

Relevance. In Azerbaijan, recently, various breeds of ornamental chickens, including curly-haired chickens, are widely bred and kept on personal farms. However, observations show that raising this exotic breed of chickens is somewhat more difficult and their maintenance requires increased attention.

Methods. This work is devoted to studying the possibility of obtaining optimal hatching eggs in a hot climate by including medicinal asparagus, cinnamon, fodder yeast, sprouted wheat, and also reducing the ratio between roosters and laying hens in the flocks of a rooster.

Results. As a result of the work performed with the above method of keeping and feeding, an increase in the sexual activity of roosters, an increase in the fertility of eggs of laying hens, as well as an increase in both the quality of the incubation eggs and the percentage of hatchability of chicken curly hens were achieved.
