Impact of Different Commercial Layer Feed on Egg Production of Hisex Brown

Abstract

The study was conducted to observe the production performance of Hisex brown strain and compare the production performance by feeding different commercial layer feeds. Average feed consumption during laying period was 120gm/day/bird. Average age at peak production was 26 weeks in Hisex brown. The average peak production observed in this study was 92.3% (HDEP%) in Hisex brown which was slightly lower than the standard. Average peak production length was 10 weeks. CP, PARAGON and NOURISH layer feeds were selected to compare their result. Though CP feed gave slightly better result other two also gave satisfactory results in term of egg production performance under good farm management.
