A layer needs a specific amount of protein to economically
produce eggs to the limit of her genetic ability. It’s possible to
waste protein both through over feeding as well as under feeding!
Research shows that weather conditions greatly influence a layer’s
nutritional requirements. When cold weather causes birds to eat
more total feed, protein content is reduced. Conversely, hot weather
normally reduces intake, so Wayne increases the protein level.
It s a program that makes a lot of sense. See us today for the feed
that keeps production UP and feed costs DOWN.
