Incessant prolapse cases

Once prolapse happens, it is very difficult to rectify. My suggestion is to formulate the layer diet strictly based on digestible amino acids, and so this will allow us to reduce the Crude Protein % to the bare minimum. Include more insoluble fibre in the diet. Here we usually use Wheat Middlings or Wheat Bran but Sunflower Meal is another good choice where available. A very effective herbal remedy for prolapse is the Fenugeek (Trigonella foenumgraecum) seeds. The seeds yield a strong mucilage which acts as a laxative and helps to reduce straining during the egg laying process. We obtain the seeds by using a product called Choline-H supplied by Arasol Chemicals, India at 1 kg/ton feed. Using Choline-H allows us to totally replace synthetic Choline Chloride in the feed.

Prolapse should not be considered as a separatedly case. if the management, feeding, environment, stocking density, lighting management are correct then the problems could be better avoided. Sudden change in protein / energy levels can cause highly negative effects as the low fiber diet can also cause deleterious effects during laying phase in the breeders if the weight management at both bird weight and feed quantity to be monitored simultaneously throughout the life otherwise prolapse will be noticed during laying phase.
