It is generally between 15% and 19% crude protein depending on the number of eggs being produced, age, feed intake and whether hens are moulting or not. Layer feed is often made up of protein sources such as legumes.

Well takes

Is there any updated or recent references available to calculate protein requirement of layers for maintenance and egg production?

[Bello Bashir]

IN order to make a phase feeding system practical, it is necessary to know the laying hen’s daily requirement of protein during the various parts of her production cycle. Heywang et al. (1955) noted that the optimum level of protein for layers was 15.0%.

[Bello Bashir]

Laying hens should receive a layer diet with around 18 percent crude protein to maintain good egg production

Calcium (which can be provided by limestone, oyster shell, or meat and bone meal) is especially important for proper skeletal formation,

[Suresh Bypanahalli]

more importantly for egg shell formation in layers
