The Prolapse in Layer Hens
Abstract
Prolapse which causes low productivity in laying hens is a serious sickness. Rather than
having a specific cause, prolapse occurs due to many factors coming together. The main reasons of
prolapse are; intestinal infection due to high light density, animals with weight problems, age at sexual
maturity, early photosimulation, unbalanced feed formulation and laying double yolked eggs. Use of
unbalanced formulation in laying hens causes low egg production and increase of prolapse problem.
The main parameters in feed formulations which help to prevent prolapse, are energy, protein levels
together with calcium and phosphorus levels. In this review article, the main causes of prolapsus in
laying hens are reviewed.
