This module provides you the knowledge, skills and attitudes
required in the kinds, sources, requirements of a good ration and
principles of feeding laying hens.
1. identify the kind of ration for laying hens either for backyard, semi-
commercial and commercial type of egg production;
2. enumerate the requirements of a good ration;
3. discuss the principles of feeding laying hens; and
4. appreciate the value of utilizing locally available materials as feed
ingredients.

What is It
5
Feedstuffs
1. It should be adapted to the purpose for which the birds are being
fed;
2. It must be attractive and palatable;
3. A variety in the ration increases the chance of supplying all the
nutritive needs of the birds;
4. The cost of ration should be reasonable.

2. Use at least three kinds of grains, whenever possible, to
constitute 75 to 80% ration. Examples, rice, corn, sorghum.

3. Use at least one animal protein supplement to form 5 to 10% of
ration.
Examples, (a) fish meal, (b) shrimp meal,
(c) meat scraps.
4. Use one or more plant
protein supplement to
constitute 5 to 10 percent of
the ration. Example, ipil-ipil
leaf meal, soybean oil meal,
copra meal, and mongo

bean meal.
5. Use a mixture of 50 – 50 animal and plant proteins to form 15% in
the total ration.
6. Use at least one legume roughage, given as soilage (green feed) free
choice (hens are at liberty to choose what they like. Examples –
tapilan leaves, centrosema vines, tropical kudzu vines, peanut
vines, mongo vines, soybean vines.
7. Shell free choice – provides the bulk of calcium required for egg-
shell formation. Example – oyster shell and other sea shells.
8. Use one- half kilo of native salt for every 45 kilos of total ration.
9. Provide fresh, clean drinking water always.
Principles of Feeding
Maintenance
7
The most important purpose of feeding is to maintain life.
Maintenance requires more feed than what is needed for egg
production, growth and fattening combined
Feeds rich in carbohydrates and fats supply most of the energy
needed for the heartbeat, for breathing, for digestion, and other
processes.
Egg Production
Fattening
Some of the feeds consumed by hens are used to produce fat, and
some hens fatten too easily. Such hens will not be good layers.
After the laying is over, the hens put on some fat to act as a reserve
for her next egg-laying period.
8
Feeds do not have the same value in producing eggs because they
differ in:
a. the amount of nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals,
vitamins, water) which they contain;
b. their palatability;
If hens do not eat them or eat only a little of them the feed
has no or little value to the hens.
