Summary
Feeding Hens for Egg Production
The chief interest of poultry raisers is to receive a reasonable return from their investment over the costs of stock, housing, feeding, and labor. Proper feeding alone will not do this, as successful poultry production depends on four major essentials, together with many minor ones. These major essentials are:
(1) birds bred for egg production, or good breeding
(2)good housing
(3)proper feeding
(4)sanitation and management
Reasons for Feeding
(1) Maintenance, repair of body tissues, storing of fat.
(2) To supply heat and energy.
(3) For reproduction, or egg production.
