Feeding Strategies for Every Stage of Lay

Icon 19weeks

Pre-Peak

Hens are still maturing, with lower feed intake. Diets focus on energy, protein and calcium to support growth and reproductive development.

Icon 21weeks

Peak

Hens reach sexual maturity. Feeds are formulated to maintain high egg production and support increasing egg size.

Icon 43weeks

Post-Peak

Egg production begins to decline. Nutrition shifts to manage egg size and maintain performance, helping reduce cracks and downgrades.

Icon 51weeks

Mid-Lay

Focus is on sustaining lay rates without encouraging excessive egg size. Protein levels are adjusted to match feed intake and production needs.
