Study Notes
Use of Complete Processed Concentrate Feed
- Separate feeding of grain and concentrate helps manage nutrient intake.
- Maize is provided in the evening to support energy needs overnight.
- Morning feeding consists of a 20-26% crude protein (CP) concentrate combined with light grain, ensuring hens get protein early in the day.
Cafeteria Feeding System
- Implements a two-feeder system: one for grain and another for concentrate.
- Concentrate provided has a higher CP content of 26-36%, promoting protein intake.
- This method allows hens to self-regulate their diet, balancing their own nutrient requirements effectively.
