Grain Feed for Laying Hens Is Very Important
Laying hens should start the day with empty crops and end roosting with full crops. Scatter about six inches of grain on the floor, using roughly one third of daily feed in the morning and the rest before roost cleanup. Dry mash is available in hoppers. If hens gain too much weight, reduce scratch grain and meat scraps to boost exercise. Avoid abrupt rations and do not force moulting with feeding changes.
Dock Lambs For Better Market Value And Breeding
Farmers are advised to dock lambs between 10 and 14 days old to prevent dirty long tails and improve appearance. Castration at docking is recommended as wethers grow faster and bring higher market prices. Castration, docking plus improved breeding could at least double the lamb crop value.
