  To increase egg production, hens should be fed a commercial layer feed that is high in protein and calcium, such as one containing 16% protein and 3.5% calcium

  A complete and balance feed that contains all the nutrients that the hen needs according to sustain its egg productive capacity in a determined amount of daily feed intake. The nutrient needs are published by breeders and can also be found in other published nutritional resources including the Poultry NRC, Brazilian tables, FEDNA tables, CVB tables, and others.
