Re: News - Can Midnight Feeding Improve Shell Quality in Layers?

Respected,

Yes, it is true, I had a experiment in Macedonia with layers in summer season. The temperatures were very high (over 40 degrees), so we had to feed our birds at midnight until one hour during a month. Eggshell mass and eggshell thickness were increased and better than layers without midnight feeding.
Now I am working in Institute and I can write and discuss about these issues which were proved in practice.

Re: News - Can Midnight Feeding Improve Shell Quality in Layers?

I had an experiment about night feeding but with rabbits, in Egypt.
In my M.Sc. thesis, I studied the effect of night feeding vs continuous feeding, and we found good results. I will try to do another one on layers.
