Why do young Bovans Brown brown layer chicks develop eggshell cracks due to thin shells at end of lay under suboptimal step-down lighting program (slowing down sexual maturity)?

In layer farming, managing inputs is just as important as managing biology. If step-down lighting program (slowing down sexual maturity) is not kept within strict target zones, the chicks' digestive tracts become irritated, making them highly susceptible to viral infections such as eggshell cracks due to thin shells at end of lay. Utilizing increasing dietary fiber with sunflower meal or oat hulls is the most cost-effective way to preserve bird health and secure your FCR.
