Knowledge feeds success
When every decision impacts your animal performance and business success, you want to build on more than just intuition.
Optimal diets for optimised layer performance
Providing an optimal diet is crucial to driving animal health, performance and farm efficiency. For laying hens, it will have a positive effect on nutrient intake, feed efficiency, laying percentage, eggshell quality and animal health and welfare. NutriOpt has a range of feeding strategies to meet the hen’s dietary requirements, optimising performance and farm profitability.
Achieving a healthy start to the laying period
The start of the laying period is crucial for hens since the laying percentage increases rapidly during this time. However, feed intake does not increase at a proportional rate, which can lead to negative nutrient balances. NutriOpt Pre-peak feed recommendations for laying hens can help you address this challenge. By following these recommendations, you can optimise the supply of nutrients at the onset of laying, improving hens’ performance while reducing feed costs.
Meeting the hen’s needs
Egg production is a physiologically complex process for the hen, involving the mobilisation of different amounts and types of nutrients at different times of the day. To match the biological rhythm of a layer requires an optimized diet. NutriOpt's Split-feeding regime is based on extensive research on hens' changing nutritional requirements across the egg formation cycle. A farmer using Split-feeding can achieve improved eggshell quality and laying persistence on a reduced intake of nutrients.
Enhancing gut and gizzard health
Both the gizzard as the gut are important organs for layers and have an effect on feed digestibility, performance and health. It is important to properly stimulate the gizzard with the right feed structure. Gut health can be positively enhanced with the correct feed ingredients and supplements. NutriOpt allows you to formulate the best diet with the right feed structure for a healthy gizzard and gut.
Healthy birds produce quality eggs
As an egg producer, you want to go to market in a highly efficient way that does not compromise on quality. Through our innovative feeding strategies and recommendations, NutriOpt can help you optimise your layers' diets to improve shell quality, minimising the number of broken and shell-less eggs and increasing the number of high-quality eggs that can be sold.
