Causes and remedies for fertility and husbandry in livestock
Poor fertility in hatching eggs stems from low physical condition due to disease lice mites or improper feeding, frozen combs and wattles in males, too few or too many males, and short breeding pen duration. Broilers do not need roosts, unlike pullets raised for eggs. Pastures are valuable in hog programs as they save feed and promote herd health.
