Broilers require diets enriched in protein for faster growth to reach required body weight for meat, while Layers require diets of less protein but fortified for them to produce eggs.
Broiler chickens are renowned for their excellent feed conversion ratio, meaning they efficiently turn feed into body mass. Layer chickens require less feed overall but need a carefully balanced diet to support egg production without excess weight gain.
Broilers grow and reach their optimum weight in as little as 6-8 weeks. Layer chickens, on the other hand, grow more slowly and reach their adult size in about 18-20 weeks.
Broilers are chickens of either gender that are slaughtered for meat at about 5 to 8 month old.<div> </div><div>Layers are hens that are used to provide eggs until they are about 18 to 24 months.</div>
