Group Description
As we know, poultry production systems are continually evolving. One of the primary causes that determines feeding and nutrition is the improvement made in the genetic potential of poultry birds ( both broilers and layers) and this is done to harness the best potential in the shortest period and with best efficiencies. There are many other factors that have a bearing on feeding and nutrition and some of them are driven by consumers, societal needs, and to cater to the production of specialized poultry products. In some cases, feeding and nutritional may also be determined by government regulations, cost of production, access to desired raw materials and other environmental concerns.
As members of the poultry community – we represent different global regions and different scenarios that control feeding and nutrition, and your experiences will be useful for every member in the community. We feel that knowledge shared on this platform will be useful to all in either improving operations, gaining on production or for taking corrective actions. Come, join this interest group, and share your experiences and views.

Layer hens typically have a protein content in their feed ranging from **16% to 18%** to support egg production. The protein level may vary based on age, breed, and specific nutritional requirements.

The protein requirement of layer ratio varies based on their phase of life. Chicks require about 20 – 22% protein, Grower about 18% Layer 16% – 17%

Protein is essential for their development, egg production, and overall
