Each of the four variants has been designed to improve growth rate, weight gain and enhance the immunity of the flock

Suguna Foods has launched ‘Layer chicken feed’ in Bihar. Layer chickens are a breed of hens having a significantly enhanced capacity for producing eggs from 18-19 weeks of age and continue till 80 weeks and above. The conglomerate has launched four types of Layer feed, each designed to be given to the hens at various stages during the bird’s life cycle.

Layer Chick Crumble feed is recommended from 0- 8 weeks which helps in gut development and strives to improve growth rate, weight gain and enhances the immunity of the flock. The highly nutritive formulation aims to reduce early chick mortality (ECM) and consequently improves the livability of the flock.

Layer Grower Crumble feed is recommended from 9 – 17 weeks. It helps to maintain the skeletal body frame and organs development. This nutritious feed has been meticulously formulated to reduce pullet mortality and ensure flock uniformity.

Layer Crumble feed has been formulated for two phases, based on the stage of the birds. Phase 1 is recommended between 18- 52 weeks while Phase 2 can be used from 53 weeks onwards. At both stages, this wholesome feed aids in maintaining peak egg production and helps in achieving optimum egg weight and ensuring strong eggshells.
