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 qf amino acid, vita mins and.minerals. Bio Layena 100 isthe base product.

It is our challenge to start with a quality pullet and do nothing that harms its “performance potential”. But too we must foe concerned about not feeding excesses of nutrients that are costly and hurt income potential.

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 V/z pounds/100 hens/day) is compensated for by an increase of 7% in ration fortification. In this way daily intake of amino adds, 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 tochange the ration, since feed intakes will vary due to wastage, strain, etc. 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.
