How to improve layers
performance and production efficiencies
The demand for eggs is steadily increasing year after year. To
meet market demand, layer farms must produce more efficiently while using fewer
resources. Layer farms face many challenges, from keeping the flock healthy, to
good management practices that reduce costs and increase profitability, all
while ensuring a high-quality standards final product..
Production efficiency is achieved when the animal reaches a high
level of performance and feed intake while maintaining good health. Feed alone
accounts for most of a livestock farmer’s total costs. Optimise your investment
in layer hens by ensuring efficient intake of nutrients that translate to
robust egg production, good health and enhanced overall productivity.
Maximising
egg production in layers
Measuring the
production of layer hen is done through the number of good eggs they produce
each year. Protect your investment by providing your hens with proper nutrition
and a comfortable, well-lit environment, free of diseases and stress that can
lead to a drop in egg production.
Quality of layers’ eggs
Good, healthy and
consistent egg quality means better, and more marketable table eggs and higher
profitability. Some important parameters of overall egg quality are shell and
albumen quality, yolk colour, cleanliness, size, uniformity and being free from
Salmonella.
Forming a high-quality eggshell requires a substantial amount of calcium,
delivered via feed. Additional measures for older hens might be necessary since
their ability to utilise calcium decreases significantly, while their egg
weight rises.
Uniformity
and weight at rearing
Foster optimal egg
production from the beginning by keeping your flock at a uniform, healthy
weight throughout the critical rearing period. As pullets develop into young
hens during the first 15-18 weeks of life, minimise variations in their weight,
which can cause changes in the onset of egg production.
