Feed consumption directly affects production costs because feed represents the largest expense in egg farming. White layer hens require balanced nutrition containing energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids to maintain high egg production. Poor nutrition can reduce laying performance and shell quality. Understanding feed consumption helps producers calculate production costs and optimize profitability. Through Poultry Rates, users can monitor egg prices as well as key feed ingredients such as corn, soybean meal, wheat, rice polish, bajra, and canola meal.
