Description

Sure Lay Phase 2 Pellets

The Epol Sure Lay Phase 2 Pellets are a complete, high-density laying feed specifically designed for commercial hens during the middle stages of their laying cycle, typically between 35 and 50 weeks of age. While optimized for this mid-cycle phase, they are versatile enough to be fed from the first egg through to the end of the hen’s laying life. The pellet format is preferred in many setups to reduce dust and selective feeding, ensuring each bird receives a balanced intake of nutrients.

Nutritional Specifications

This feed is formulated to sustain egg production while maintaining the hen’s physical condition.

• Phosphorus: Minimum 0.4% (4 g/kg)

Key Features

A primary benefit of the Phase 2 Pellets is the precise balance of Calcium and Phosphorus, which is critical for shell quality and skeletal health during the demanding mid-peak laying period. The ingredients include grains, grain by-products, plant protein products, and added oils and fats. The feed is also fortified with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to maximize nutrient absorption and egg output. It may also contain registered stock remedies to support flock health.

Feeding Recommendations

Sure Lay Phase 2 Pellets should be fed ad libitum (free choice) to laying hens from 35 weeks to 50 weeks of age. Because the pellets are already fully fortified with the correct levels of Calcium and Phosphorus for this life stage, no supplementary calcium (such as oyster shell or limestone grit) is required under normal conditions. It is essential to provide constant access to clean, fresh water to support the hen’s metabolism and egg production.
