Two layers with distinctly different characteristics... From two
separate research programs.
You don’t have to buy from two different companies to get the two top
layers on the market.
The XL shows excellent production under mahy management
conditions. The OK responds best to finely tuned, close management.
OEKALB Layers are bred to possess the economic traits most
applicable to your operation. You do have a choice... The high
productivity XL or the high efficiency OK.
