LAYER'S FEEDS AND FORMULATIONS
Layer's Feeds
Making the right feed for your laying hens is important to help them grow and produce lots of eggs. Here’s an easy guide to creating three types of feed for your chickens:
1. Starter Feed (0-8 weeks)
- Maize: 50 kg
- Soya Meal: 17.5 kg
- Fish Meal: 12 kg
- Maize Bran: 10 kg
- Sunflower Cake: 4.5 kg
- Limestone: 4 kg
- Bone Meal: 1.5 kg
- Salt: 300 grams
- Premix: 200 grams
- Toxin Binder: 100 grams
This feed gives baby chicks the high protein (18-20%) they need to grow quickly and develop properly.
2.Grower Feed (9-20 weeks)
- Maize: 60 kg
- Soya Meal: 14 kg
- Fish Meal: 10 kg
- Maize Bran: 7 kg
- Sunflower Cake: 5 kg
- Limestone: 2.5 kg
- Bone Meal: 1.2 kg
- Salt: 200 grams
- Premix: 100 grams
- Toxin Binder: 50 grams
This feed has a bit less protein (16-18%) which is just right for the continued growth of the chickens as they get ready to start laying eggs.
3.Layer Feed (20 weeks)
- Maize: 55 kg
- Soya Meal: 13 kg
- Fish Meal: 8 kg
- Maize Bran: 12 kg
- Sunflower Cake: 6 kg
- Limestone: 5 kg
- Bone Meal: 2 kg
- Salt: 300 grams
- Premix: 150 grams
- Toxin Binder: 100 grams
This feed helps hens produce lots of eggs. It has about 16% protein and plenty of calcium for strong eggshells.
