Limit Scratch Grains and Treats

Solution

Restrict treats (including scratch grains, kitchen scraps, greens) to no more than 10% of the total daily food intake.

Explanation

While treats provide enrichment, overfeeding them can dilute the balanced nutrition of the layer feed, potentially reducing egg production or causing health issues like obesity. Ensure the bulk of their diet is the complete layer ration.

Notes

Offer treats later in the day after they have consumed sufficient layer feed.
