Abstract

WL Layer (180) were fed three levels of CP (18, 16, 14%) and three levels of energy (2800, 2600, 2400 Kcal ME/Kg ration) in their second phase of production 40–60 weeks). Although, 18% CP and 2800 Kcal ME/Kg ration gave best production, the production parameter (egg production, FCR) on 16% CP were comparable with 18% CP and 2600 and 2400 Kcal ME/Kg ration groups. Layers in second phase of production may be fed 16% CP and 2600 Kcal ME/Kg ation for reconomical production.
