Layers Feed Intake and Weight/Growth Chart

Layers Feed Intake and Weight/Growth Chart

by Akinbobola A. 4 Comments

As a poultry farmer, it is important that you know if your layer chickens are performing according to standard. That is, knowing if they are growing and feeding as required. This would help you know if they are converting their feed well.

Below is a table showing the standard growth rate and feed intake for layers.

The table below will answer the following questions:

  • What quantity of feed will a pullet consume/eat between day old (DOC) to point of lay (POL)?
  • What quantity/amount of feed should a layer eat per day/week?
  • What volume of water should a layer drink per day/week?
  • What is the growth rate of layers or laying chickens)?
  • What should be the average weight of a layer each week?
  • When should you change from starter (chick mash) to grower diet, and from grower diet to layer diet?

    I am currently conducting a research report, involving the FCR of poultry. I noticed that the final weight of these laying hens was a bit lower than average, and the FCR more efficient than anticipated. Understanding this, I must ask; what breed of hens are these?
