The Farmgate Poultry Layers Mash (20kg) is designed for laying poultry from point of lay, providing a complete and balanced diet to support egg production. Its key benefit is providing essential nutrients for optimal laying performance. A potential caveat is that it requires constant availability alongside fresh water and grit for best results.

This feed is recommended for laying poultry from point of lay, which typically begins around 16-18 weeks of age, depending on the breed.
Feed consumption varies based on bird size, breed, and environmental conditions. Generally, laying hens consume about 120-150 grams of feed per day. Ensure the feed is always available.
While it's a complete feed, mixing should be done cautiously. Significant changes or mixing with other feeds could unbalance the nutritional profile. If mixing, consult a nutritionist.
Natuphos (phytase) and Natugrain (endoxylanase) are enzymes that help break down phytic acid and non-starch polysaccharides in grains, respectively. This improves the absorption of minerals like phosphorus and other nutrients, supporting better digestion and reducing environmental waste.
'Point of lay' refers to the stage when a female chicken (pullet) is about to start laying eggs, typically around 16-20 weeks of age.
Store the feed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight, moisture, and pests. Keep the bag sealed when not in use.
This product is a complete feeding stuff and does not list any medications. It is formulated with vitamins, minerals, and feed additives like enzymes.
Ensure constant availability of feed, clean water, and grit. Check for environmental stressors or signs of illness in the flock.
While the feed contains color enhancers, a lack of natural foraging or insufficient inclusion of ingredients rich in carotenoids in the overall diet can impact yolk color. Ensure birds have access to suitable greens if possible.
Store feed in a dry environment, use feeders that prevent moisture accumulation, and do not overfill feeders in damp conditions. Discard any visibly spoiled or moldy feed.
Ensure feeders are clean and accessible. Some birds may require a transition period to adjust to a new feed type. Check for any underlying health issues.
