A decline of about two pounds per 100 birds signals potential problems. Recommendations include longer artificial light, adjusted mash and grain rations, and wet mash with skim milk to stabilize laying.

Farmers Seek Balanced Ration For Higher Dairy Yields
Farmers pursue a well balanced ration for cows to improve milk production. They often compare protein feed costs by ton rather than per unit of nutrients. High protein concentrates are costlier per ton, but when combined with balanced carbohydrates and fiber they can reduce overall feed use and raise efficiency.
