Layers are omnivores Cheap Brock Boeser Hat , meaning it is in their nature to consume meat and vegetable material. In the wild this would consist of insects, worms, carcasses Cheap Sam Gagner Hoodie , seeds and other plant material. Layers will not survive on vegetable scraps alone. To achieve good health, well-being and egg production, the laying hen must receive a balanced diet.
1. Water
Ample Cheap Markus Granlund Hoodie , cool, clean water should always be available as this is essential for maximum egg production. If a hen has to do without water for even a short time, her comb may turn a blue-black colour and she will cease to lay. In hot weather Cheap Sven Baertschi Hoodie , a lack of water for even a few hours can be fatal. Although actual consumption depends on the size of bird, level of egg production, season and type of drinker used Cheap Alex Burmistrov Hoodie , the following may be used as a guide for birds of various ages:
Daily Water Consumption Guide
Age (Weeks) Litres (10 Birds)
1 0.2
5 1.0
15 2.3
20 2.6
25 4.0
30 5.0
Saline water can be a cause of poor shell quality and wet manure. To check the suitability of your water supply, contact your State Department of Agriculture or Primary Industries or a recognised analytical laboratory.
Note: In extremely hot weather a good rule to follow is to provide at least three times the usual water allowance.
2. Protein and energy
Birds require an appropriate balance of protein and energy to support growth, egg production Cheap Thomas Vanek Hoodie , daily functions and overall health. Barastoc laying hen feeds have been formulated to ensure that the requirements are met.
3. Vitamins and minerals
Barastoc laying hen feeds are supplemented with vitamins and minerals to support egg production, essential body functions and resistance to disease.
4. Coarse sources of calcium
Calcium is required for strong bones and good quality eggshells. Barastoc laying hen feeds contain sufficient calcium to satisfy your hens鈥?needs. Hens generally lay down egg shells during the night. It can be beneficial to also offer coarse sources of calcium such as shell grit or limestone chips. These provide a sustained slow-release of calcium and allow for the selection of extra calcium by hens.
5. Hard grit
Hens use small insoluble stones to grind feed in the gizzard. They require grit when being fed coarse grains such as wheat or other feedstuffs where grinding is necessary for digestion. Grit is generally described as small insoluble stones of approximately 3mm (18鈥欌€? in diameter.
6. Green feed and scraps
Green feeds and scraps are a source of vitamins and can contribute carotenoid pigments for yolk colour. Hens enjoy grazing and picking over scraps and whilst these can contribute to their diet, they can also be very low in nutrients. If too much poor quality forage or scraps are fed too often in place of a balanced ration Cheap Jacob Markstrom Hoodie , egg production and hen health can suffer. Care should be taken to avoid access to mouldy or 鈥榦ff鈥?feed such as old damp stored grain or mouldy bread. These may contain toxins that can affect the health and performance of laying hens. The practice of wetting pellets is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Milk should not be added to feedstuffs due to the risk of promoting bacterial growth.
