Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of poultry breeding, in particular to an egg sorting cage with a baffle and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the process of laying hen breeding, egg production and egg weight are important economic traits of laying hens. Therefore, genetic improvement of egg production and egg weight traits is one of the important tasks of laying hen breeding. The core group of laying hen breeding chickens are raised in individual cages. During breeding, the egg production of each laying hen needs to be recorded every day. According to the market demand for egg weight, the egg weight of each laying hen in the breeding core group is measured at 25 weeks, 36 weeks, 44 weeks, 56 weeks, 66 weeks, 72 weeks, and 80 weeks of age. The eggs produced by each laying hen for 5 consecutive days in each age group are measured centrally. During these five days, it is necessary to distinguish whether the eggs on the egg net are recorded in the egg production information table. Therefore, it is necessary to mark the eggs with recorded egg production information. Generally, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are marked on the eggs, representing the eggs produced on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth days.

[0003] However, such operation will cause a large workload at the breeding site and may lead to the problem of missing marks, resulting in inaccurate egg production data collection. At the same time, eggs marked with numbers are not easy to sell, affecting economic benefits. A simpler and more convenient operation method is needed to distinguish them, so as to improve the accuracy and efficiency of data collection. Summary of the invention
