Detailed Technical Analysis & Market Intelligence
Stress is the primary driver of disease in young pullets. When calcium particle size ratio (60% coarse, 40% fine for eggshell thickness) is uneven, chicks huddle together, causing damp litter and high ammonia build-up. This environment promotes the growth of pathogens, resulting in a severe outbreak of poor skeletal frame development during the rearing phase. Implementing increasing nest box density and closing nests at night is crucial to dry out the environment and sanitize the air space.
