Optimize Your Egg Production!

Did you know that the right feed formulation and nutrients can make or break your egg production? We've seen cases where farmers jump the gun and switch to layer feed too early, only to harm their flock's health.

A farmer started using layer feed for his 20-week-old birds that had not started laying egg, expecting a boost in production. But with excess calcium in the layer feed, the birds' kidney health suffered. Egg production stagnated at less than 5%!

The Solution
We intervened, switching back to grower feed, and voilà! Production jumped to 40%. The key takeaway? Timing and balance are crucial. Ensure the right nutrients in the right amounts to support healthy growth and production.

Tips for Success
- Right feed formulation: Match feed to your birds' life stage
- Balanced nutrients: Avoid excess calcium, phosphorus, and protein
- Monitor health: Keep an eye on your flock's overall well-being
