"He can't see the forest for the trees". This old saying has been used to describe the problem of con
centrating too much on individual items and neglecting the bigger picture. However, in poultry
operations, just the opposite can happen. Flock averages are evaluated but often the performance,
behavior and individual needs of each pullet or hen are forgotten. Yet, the individual bird is important
in understanding the nutritional needs of the flock, in establishing standards of performance as well as
developing certain management practices.

numbers after the Bio-Layena rations indicate the Purina Bio-rating. Bio-Layena 100 is the base
product. Each subsequent ration contains 7% extra amino acid, vitamin and mineral for
tification over the previous one. For example, Bio-Layena 114 contains 7% more fortification
than Bio-Layena 107 and 14% mote than Bio-Layena 100.
are guides only since feed use, varies due to wastage, strains, etc. Use local judgment as
when to change rations. Generally intakes for pre-peak layers are not a good guide to ration
choice since non-layers {immature pullets] distort average values. However, after 27 to 28
weeks they can be used to match the correct Bio-Layena ration to the hen’s needs.
