Chicken rearing&nbsp;<em>layer&nbsp;<\/em>the good thing is to realize a healthy chicken with the fulfillment of the target (weight,&nbsp;<em>feed intake<\/em>, age of first egg laying, peak production, percentage of egg production and average egg weight) according to the standard every week. Chicken&nbsp;<em>layer<\/em>&nbsp;early egg laying can be caused by several factors, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Excess weight<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pullet<\/em>&nbsp;with excess weight, it will reach genital maturity earlier and begin to produce eggs faster. Ideally chicken&nbsp;<em>layer<\/em>&nbsp;it begins to produce at 18 weeks of age. If egg production is achieved early, the eggs produced will be small and the egg laying period will be short, so the percentage of production will be low. This is due to the fact that the reproductive system of chickens is not yet fully mature, but is already forced to produce eggs. Excess weight can be overcome by performing the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Separate chickens with excess weight in one tier of the same battery for easy monitoring and handling. Can be placed in the lowest battery enclosure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry out weighing and monitoring of body weight every day until the body weight according to the standard is reached. The number of chickens weighed as much as 60-100 heads (2-5% of the population) per cage and make sure the uniformity reaches 80-85%. This means that more than 80% of the chickens in one cage have almost the same body weight with a tolerance of \u00b110% of the standard body weight. This regular monitoring will facilitate faster evaluation and treatment if the chicken&#039;s weight exceeds the standard prematurely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chickens with a body weight exceeding the standard do not need to increase the amount of ration for the next week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the energy and protein content of the feed. Excess energy and protein consumption will be converted into energy reserves in the form of fat in the body. Check also the homogeneity or uniformity of feed mixing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To utilize excess fat in the body, can add\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/en\/produk\/strong-n-fit\/\" data-type=\"product_post\" data-id=\"2777\">Strong N Fit<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0into drinking water.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/en\/produk\/strong-n-fit\/\" data-type=\"product_post\" data-id=\"2777\">Strong N Fit<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0able to convert body fat into energy so as to prevent excess weight on\u00a0<em>pullet<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"593\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/KT-02-7.jpg\" alt=\"Strong n Fit\" class=\"wp-image-82476\" style=\"width:359px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/KT-02-7.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/KT-02-7-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/KT-02-7-14x12.jpg 14w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Overexposure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light can affect the physiological functions of some parts of the chicken&#039;s cerebrum, in particular the hypothalamus gland. Lighting that comes from sunlight or lights will stimulate the hypothalamus gland which then stimulates the pituitary gland, thyroid, and parathyroid. The pituitary gland produces hormones&nbsp;<em>follicle stimulating hormone&nbsp;<\/em>(FSH)<em>&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>luteinizing hormone&nbsp;<\/em>(LH). The FSH hormone functions to ripen follicles or egg cells in the ovaries (ovaries), while the LH hormone functions to bully the ovulation process (release of eggs from the ovary to the oviduct or oviduct). These two hormones are very instrumental for the formation of an egg. The thyroid gland will also be stimulated to secrete thyroxine hormones that play a role in growth, while the parathyroid glands produce parathyroxine hormones that are very important in the metabolism of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) needed in the formation of bones and egg shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the light is received&nbsp;<em>pullet<\/em>&nbsp;excess, then there will be early genital maturity and chickens begin to lay eggs before their ideal age. To avoid this, long light during the phase&nbsp;<em>pullet&nbsp;<\/em>administered within 12 hours per day or only from sunlight) with the lowest intensity (5-10&nbsp;<em>lux<\/em>). It aims to prevent premature sexual maturity (early egg laying) and body weight that exceeds the standards that trigger the occurrence&nbsp;<em>prolapse.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"729\" height=\"818\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tabel-1.webp\" alt=\"Table 1 Chicken Layer Lighting Program\" class=\"wp-image-82478\" style=\"width:387px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tabel-1.webp 729w, https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tabel-1-267x300.webp 267w, https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tabel-1-11x12.webp 11w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Chart 1. indicates the benchmark duration and intensity of lighting for chickens&nbsp;<em>layer<\/em>&nbsp;current phase&nbsp;<em>pullet&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>laying<\/em>.
