High-protein crumbs for day-old chicks to establish strong early growth and skeletal development.
Mash formulation to develop body frame and condition pullets for productive laying.
Higher calcium and protein mash to support hens entering peak egg production.
Sustained production mash for hens in late lay, maintaining shell quality as production naturally declines.
Always follow the manufacturer's feeding guidelines and recommended quantities. Feeding requirements may vary based on breed, climate, and individual animal condition. Consult a veterinarian or animal nutritionist for advice specific to your livestock operation.
