Production Stage	Flock Quantity Example	Daily Ration Per Bird	Monthly Feed Requirement
Development Period	2,400 birds	88 g	6.3 tons
Egg Starting Period	3,600 birds	104 g	11.2 tons
Production Stabilization	5,000 birds	116 g	17.4 tons
Mature Egg Cycle	7,200 birds	121 g	26.1 tons

A properly designed cage system supports uniform access to feed troughs, reducing competition between birds.

Our equipment solutions include automatic feeding carts and precision feed delivery systems that help maintain balanced feed supply throughout the house.
