Good sanitation, insect control, treatment of infec
tion and disease, worming and rodent control all
have to be carried on continuously for healthy birds
and healthy profits.
Simply stated, good pullets peak high; poor ones do
not.
The move from the pullet house to the layer house
can be in some cases a severe stress and depress
that potential.
A few chickens saved or lost certainly influences the
potential return of the house.
Since feed intake is a poor guide for pre-peak layers
we must seek a substitute and the best substitute is
in house temperature.
Feed intake and performance fortification levels -
The Purina Laying Chow Bio-Rating gives the relative fortifica
tion of amino acid, vitamins and minerals. Bio Layena 100 isthe

Nutritional programs and management practices during housing through 36 weeks of age
can have considerable effect on peak and subsequent performance, it is our challenge to
start with a quality pullet and do nothing that harms its “performance potential”. But too
we must be concerned about not feeding excesses of nutrients that are costly and hurt
income potential.

fortification than Bio Layena 107 and 14% more than Bio
Layena 100. Each of the above feed intake ranges represent
approximately 7% less feed consumption than the previous
range. Thus a drop of 7% in feed intake (approximately IVz
pounds/100 hens/day) is compensated for by an increase of
7% in ration fortification.
In this way daily intake of amino acids, vitamins and minerals
remain constant. The correct level of fortification is exactly
matched to the hen's feed intakes. If during stress conditions a
more highly fortified ration is desired, just choose the amount
of extra fortification by checking the Bio-Rating of each Purina
Laying Chow. Always use local judgement on whether to change
the ration, since feed intakes will vary due to wastage, strain,
etc.
7. Failure to reach the highest level of production and
to maintain high levels many times is due to disease.
Therefore it is essential that prior to this time the
flocks should have received sufficient vaccination
properly administered to provide full and complete
resistance.
