14. Feeds of Brown Leghorn
Feeds Group Age (weeks)
Chick mash Chicks 0-8
Growers mash Adult animals 8-18
Layers mash Adult animals >18

15. • For Layers feed at a rate of 120-
140grams per day
• If Mash is to be mixed with other
feeds ensure that shell grit or other
calcium sources are available.
• For young chicks feed no more than
is consumed in 24 hours.

16. Hy-line

17. • Commercially important poultry breed
• Designed using the principle of hybridization
and DNA based technology.
• Dominant in the American egg market.
• Has a superior food efficiency and the
highest egg quality.

18. Hy-line breeds
 Hy-line W-36
 Hy- line brown
 Hy-line Sonia
 Hy-line CV 22

19. Hy- line W-36
• Worlds’ most efficient egg layer with
excellent livability.
• Lays dozens of top quality strong
shelled eggs with minimum feed
consumption, making her the
industry’s lowest cost producer of
eggs.
• Cost of rearing - low compared to
other varieties.
• Generates the maximum profit for the
egg producers.

20. Hy-line brown
• World’s most balanced brown
egg layer.
• Produces over 355 rich brown
eggs to 80 weeks, peaks well
and begins lay early with
optimum egg size.
• Traits posses have unrivaled feed
efficiency, best interior egg
quality and excellent livability.

21. Hy-line Sliver Brown
• World’s most prolific egg layer.
• Produces over 370 rich brown
eggs to 80 weeks peaks in the
high 90’s and begins lay early
with medium egg size.
• Traits combined with excellent
livability and a robust, adaptable
temperament give the hy-line
silver brown a great profile to
use in both alternative and
intensive production systems.

22. Hy-line Sonia
• World’s leader in tinted egg
production.
• Produces over 345 uniform,
tinted eggs to 80 weeks, peaks in
the mid 90’s and lays eggs with
ideal and indeterminate egg
size.
• Traits combine with a limited
appetite, excellent interior egg
quality and unsurpassed
livability and these
characteristics have mad them
the pioneers in world’s tinted
egg market.

23. Hy-line CV-22
• Posses an excellent heat
and heat resistance.
• Mature early, achieving a
58 eggs by 26 weeks of
age.
• Hy-line CV-22 can be
expected to efficiently
produce over 22kg of eggs
mass by 80 weeks of age.

24. Feeding- Hy-Line
• Regularly empty, clean, and disinfect feed bins
and avoid unnecessary build-up of dusty, stale,
moldy, and unpalatable feed
• Should be allowed to occasionally empty feeders
to avoid feed
• build-up in the feeders and to allow the birds to
consume the fines often left in the feed troughs.
• Order feed in good time to avoid running out of
feed. chickens were often fed scraps, with a little
wheat or oats, sometimes maize, fishmeal for
protein, and cod liver oil.

25. Bovans White

26. Morphology
White in color
White egg layer
Produce uniform sized, strong shelled
eggs
Feed conversion ratio is low
Can adopt for temporary unfavorable
conditions well

27. Feeds of Bovans White
Feeds Group Age (weeks)
Chick mash Chicks 0-8
Growers mash Adult animals 8-18
Layers mash Adult animals >18

28. • Feeds used should contain all the essential
amino acids, vitamins, energy, and other
non-energy nutrients.
• Body weight measurements of these should
be taken beginning at 4 weeks of age and
taken every week thereafter to peak
production.
• Measurements can be made every other
week until peak egg mass is achieved. If,
however, the body weights are low, the flock
should remain on a starter ration until the 6-
week target body weight is attained.

29.  If body weights are below
target due to too low feed
intake as a result of hot
weather, an additional
feeding during the dark
period can be given.
 This is commonly referred
to as a midnight feeding.
Turn the lights on for
about 45 minutes and
activate the feed system.
 The midnight feeding has
to be stopped once body
weight and/or feed intake
turns back to normal

33. Weight Vs Time

34. Layer Care
 Collect eggs 2-3 times per day (if hot)
 Wash eggs immediately in warm water
 Refrigerate & keep away from onions &
mold
 Production Goal: 4 lbs feed / dozen
eggs
 Hens produce 7 eggs / 10 days
