2. The Wing-Clipping Method: In some countries, chicks are clipped early in life to improve weight gain and egg production. Studies show that this practice can increase average weight gain by 5–8%, egg production by 8–20%, and meat yield by around 10%. However, it should be done carefully to avoid stress or injury to the birds.

3. The Bentonite Method: Adding 3–5% bentonite to the diet of laying hens can enhance their feed intake and egg production. For broilers, adding 3% bentonite can improve weight gain by up to 20%. Bentonite also helps absorb toxins and improves gut health, contributing to better overall performance.

4. Vitamin C Supplementation: Research shows that adding 50 grams of vitamin C per ton of feed can increase egg production by 11.7%. This method is particularly effective during stressful periods, such as heat stress or disease outbreaks, as vitamin C supports immune function and reduces stress-related decline in productivity.

5. Cold Water Method: During hot weather, providing cold water to laying hens can stimulate their appetite and increase feed consumption, which in turn boosts egg production by about 12%. This is a simple yet effective way to help hens cope with high temperatures.

6. Color Enhancement Method: Coating feeding troughs with bright colors can significantly increase hens' interest in eating, leading to higher feed intake and an egg production increase of over 10%. This method uses visual stimulation to encourage more consistent feeding behavior.

7. Feather Powder Addition: Adding 35% feather powder to chicken feed can improve meat quality by increasing lean meat and reducing fat content. It also boosts egg production by around 200%, making it a valuable addition for both egg and meat producers.

8. Light Cycle Adjustment: By exposing hens to 2 hours of light followed by 6 hours of darkness in a dark room, you can encourage more frequent and even egg-laying. This mimics natural daylight patterns and helps regulate the hens’ reproductive cycles.

9. Waste Paper Method: Cutting old newspapers or books into small pieces and mixing them into chicken feed can increase egg production by 30% after one month. The rough texture may stimulate digestion and provide mental stimulation for the birds.

10. Red Pepper Powder Method: Adding 1% red pepper powder to chicken feed, along with a small amount of vegetable oil, can boost egg production by 8%. The capsaicin in the pepper may improve blood circulation and metabolic rate, supporting better egg formation.

11. Music Therapy: Research suggests that playing pleasant music in the henhouse can lead to larger eggs and a 10% increase in egg production. The calming effect of music may reduce stress and create a more comfortable environment for the hens.

12. Observation of Slaughter: Some studies have shown that when hens witness the slaughter of another chicken, they tend to lay more eggs. This is thought to be due to the "fight or flight" response, where hens sense danger and instinctively increase reproduction to ensure survival of the species.

13. Lifelong Immunization: When poultry eggs hatch on day 18, experts use acetic acid to soften the shell and inject a vaccine into the embryo. This method provides lifelong immunity to diseases, reducing the need for repeated vaccinations and improving long-term flock health.

14. Aromatic Feed Additives: Including 10% aromatic plants like onions, garlic, ginger, leeks, and celery in the feed during the laying period can increase egg production by 10%. These ingredients not only improve flavor but also support digestive and immune health.

15. Rapeseed Cake Feeding: Adding 7% boiled and detoxified rapeseed cake to chicken feed can raise egg production by 10–15%. This method is cost-effective and provides a good source of protein and essential nutrients for the birds.
