Detailed Technical Analysis & Market Intelligence
Induced molting is a management practice that temporarily stops egg production to allow the hen's reproductive tract to rest and regenerate. This process can extend the productive life of a White Layer flock and improve eggshell quality in the second laying cycle. To implement a molting program, farmers feed specific diets, which can be formulated using raw materials purchased directly on Murghi Mandi. They can also track market conditions on the Poultry Rates Page to time their molting programs with periods of lower egg demand.
