In rural China, there is a plant that is highly valued by chicken farmers as a "miracle tool." It is commonly known as Lalayang, and is also called Humulus scandens, Cutter Vine, and other names in different regions. This perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Moraceae family holds a special place in chicken farming due to its rich medicinal properties and nutritional content.
The popularity of Lalayang in chicken farming stems from its various beneficial components such as luteolin, glucosides, choline, and asparagine, which are effective in treating viral diseases. During winter, chickens are prone to colds and chills, but dried Lalayang powder can be mixed into their feed to boost their immunity. If chickens display symptoms of a cold, such as decreased appetite, lethargy, swollen heads and faces, tearing eyes, and foamy feces, a decoction of Lalayang can be administered orally. Each adult chicken should receive 10-15 grams, and it can be combined with herbs like dandelion and honeysuckle for enhanced therapeutic effects.
In addition to its ability to clear heat and detoxify, enhance immunity, Lalayang is also effective in treating respiratory diseases and lung heat with cough. Respiratory illnesses are common in chickens during winter, and if they exhibit symptoms such as dry cough with little phlegm, bloody phlegm, or lung heat with cough, a decoction of Lalayang can be prepared by boiling 500 grams of the plant in two liters of water for 30 minutes until half of the liquid remains, which can then be given to the chickens to drink.
Furthermore, Lalayang has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, inhibiting bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus. Therefore, if chicken farmers frequently encounter diarrhea issues in their flocks, they can try treating it with Lalayang. The plant can be washed, dried, crushed into powder, and added to the feed at a ratio of 3%-5%. Clinical trials have shown that regularly supplementing chicken feed with Lalayang powder can increase the survival rate of poultry and egg production in layers, especially free-range hens.
Have you mastered this secret to making money in chicken farming with Lalayang? When using Lalayang, be cautious of its prickly stems and leaves, which can cause skin injuries. People prone to allergies should also exercise caution.
