Chikun Layer 1 Mash | 25kg

Description

Chikun Layer 1 Mash | 25kg is a specially formulated poultry feed designed for laying hens during the initial phase of egg production (typically 18–35 weeks of age). This nutritionally balanced mash feed supports optimal egg yield, shell quality, and hen health. Packaged in 25kg durable, moisture-resistant bags, it is ideal for small to medium-scale poultry farms.

Key Features of Chikun Layer 1 Mash | 25kg:

1. High-Quality Nutrition:

   • Crude Protein: 16–18% (supports muscle development and egg production).

   • Calcium (3–4%) & Phosphorus: Strengthens eggshells and skeletal health.

   • Added Vitamins (A, D, E, B-complex) & Minerals: Enhances immunity, feathering, and metabolic functions.

2. Optimal Egg Production:

   • Balanced amino acids (e.g., lysine, methionine) to maximize egg size and frequency.

   • Omega-3 fatty acids (optional in some formulations) for enriched eggs.

3. Digestibility:

   • Mash Texture: Finely ground for easy consumption and efficient nutrient absorption.

   • Prebiotics/probiotics (if included) to promote gut health and nutrient utilization.

4. Cost-Effective:

   • Formulated to reduce feed wastage and improve feed conversion ratio (FCR).

Characteristics:

• Form: Fine mash (uniform particle size).
