LAYER FEED
More Eggs, More Profit!
Introduction
Natraja Nutrifeed Layer Feed has built a solid reputation in the North India and East India layer market, thanks to its superior quality over the past two decades. Birds require different levels of protein, energy, calcium, and other nutrients based on their age and nutritional needs. To meet these requirements, we have developed a range of layer products tailored to the various stages of bird growth.
With layer feed accounting for 85% of egg production costs in commercial layers, including 11% for rearing, choosing highquality layer feed is crucial for profitable and sustainable farming. The rising production costs without a corresponding increase in egg sale prices make this important decision to choose the best quality layer feed.
