M-FLOX Layer poultry feed is specifically formulated to meet the nutritional demands of laying hens, ensuring optimal egg production and overall health.
Here's a breakdown of layer poultry feed:
Types of layer feed
Layer feeds are typically categorized into different types based on the age and stage of the birds:
Chick Starter Diet: Used for chicks from 0 to 6 weeks, providing high protein for rapid growth.
Grower Diet: Suitable for birds between 7 to 16 weeks, supporting their development.
Pre-Layer Diet: Given from 16 weeks until the onset of egg-laying, it prepares the hens for egg production by increasing calcium and other egg-laying related nutrients.
Layer Diet: Provided during the laying period (from 5% lay onwards) and contains a balanced mix of nutrients, including protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Key nutrients
Layer feed typically includes ingredients such as:
Grains (corn, wheat, barley): Provide energy.
Protein sources (soybean meal, fish meal): Essential for egg production.
Energy sources (fats and oils): Support overall health and egg production.
Vitamins and minerals (premixes): Crucial for strong eggshells and overall health.
Importance of quality feed
Good quality feed is crucial for the health and productivity of laying hens, leading to increased egg production and improved meat yield.
Feeding practices
Transition to layer feed when hens are around 18 weeks old, or when they start laying eggs.
Introduce the new feed gradually over a week to prevent digestive upset.
Maintain a consistent feeding routine, ideally offering free-choice layer feed twice a day (60% in the morning, 40% in the afternoon).
Supplementing with treats or table scraps should be limited to 10% of the hens' diet to avoid diluting the nutritional balance provided by the complete feed.
