Feeds of Brown LeghornFeeds Group Age (weeks)
Chick mash Chicks 0-8
Growers mash Adult animals 8-18
Layers mash Adult animals >18
• For Layers feed at a rate of 120-140grams per day• If Mash is to be mixed with other
feeds ensure that shell grit or other calcium sources are available.• For young chicks feed no more than
is consumed in 24 hours.
Hy-line
• Commercially important poultry breed • Designed using the principle of hybridization
and DNA based technology.• Dominant in the American egg market. • Has a superior food efficiency and the
highest egg quality.
Hy-line breeds
Hy-line W-36 Hy- line brown Hy-line Sonia Hy-line CV 22
Hy- line W-36 • Worlds’ most efficient egg layer with
excellent livability.• Lays dozens of top quality strong shelled
eggs with minimum feed consumption, making her the industry’s lowest cost producer of eggs.
• Cost of rearing - low compared to other varieties.
• Generates the maximum profit for the egg producers.
Hy-line brown
• World’s most balanced brown egg layer.
• Produces over 355 rich brown eggs to 80 weeks, peaks well and begins lay early with optimum egg size.
• Traits posses have unrivaled feed efficiency, best interior egg quality and excellent livability.
Hy-line Sliver Brown
• World’s most prolific egg layer.• Produces over 370 rich brown
eggs to 80 weeks peaks in the high 90’s and begins lay early with medium egg size.
• Traits combined with excellent livability and a robust, adaptable temperament give the hy-line silver brown a great profile to use in both alternative and intensive production systems.
Hy-line Sonia• World’s leader in tinted egg
production.• Produces over 345 uniform,
tinted eggs to 80 weeks, peaks in the mid 90’s and lays eggs with ideal and indeterminate egg size.
• Traits combine with a limited appetite, excellent interior egg quality and unsurpassed livability and these characteristics have mad them the pioneers in world’s tinted egg market.
Hy-line CV-22
• Posses an excellent heat and heat resistance.
• Mature early, achieving a 58 eggs by 26 weeks of age.
• Hy-line CV-22 can be expected to efficiently produce over 22kg of eggs mass by 80 weeks of age.
Feeding- Hy-Line• Regularly empty, clean, and disinfect feed bins and avoid
unnecessary build-up of dusty, stale, moldy, and unpalatable feed
• Should be allowed to occasionally empty feeders to avoid feed
• build-up in the feeders and to allow the birds to consume the fines often left in the feed troughs.
• Order feed in good time to avoid running out of feed. chickens were often fed scraps, with a little wheat or oats, sometimes maize, fishmeal for protein, and cod liver oil.

• Feeds used should contain all the essential amino acids, vitamins, energy, and other non-energy nutrients.
• Body weight measurements of these should be taken beginning at 4 weeks of age and taken every week thereafter to peak production.
• Measurements can be made every other week until peak egg mass is achieved. If, however, the body weights are low, the flock should remain on a starter ration until the 6-week target body weight is attained.
If body weights are below target due to too low feed intake as a result of hot weather, an additional feeding during the dark period can be given.
This is commonly referred to as a midnight feeding. Turn the lights on for about 45 minutes and activate the feed system.
The midnight feeding has to be stopped once body weight and/or feed intake turns back to normal
