Weak Egg Shell ( Remedial measures)

Weak shell in Poultry sometimes causes huge loses. Some of the prime reasons may be as follows.

a) Immunity breakdown and some viral infection which may cause 100% shell less eggs and causing lameness in the birds.

b) Nutrient imbalance in the Feed causing a hole in almost 50-60% eggs.

c) Protein imbalance in Feed which causes rough and smooth less egg shells . The egg shell becomes quite thin.

Remedies- Proper vaccination and keeping the good immunity level is the only solution for the first type.

Second type of Weak Egg Shell is mainly due to calcium- Phosphorus imbalance. A good calcium- phosphorous Supplement may solve the problem.

Third type of Weak Egg Shell may be caused with haphazard use of proteins and amino acids, without balancing them. Generally aged birds which don't require much of proteins face such challenge.
