PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Ration Design
AGRI-TECH pullet and layer rations are designed to provide a wide range of nutrient levels to optimize body weight, uniformity, egg production and egg size. Rations are generated by computerized least-cost formulation and are based on daily needs for essential nutrients (digestible amino acids, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins, trace minerals). Ration formulas are based on locally available ingredients and are updated as needed to allow for changes in the content and price of ingredients.

Ration Scheduling
All customers are provided with a customized AGRI-TECH Feeding Guide that prescribes the precise rations and feeding recommendations for each operation. Recommendations are based on house temperature, strain, rate of lay, feed intake and flock age. AGRI-TECH Feeding Guides are developed for pullets, first-cycle layers and molted flocks.

Phase Feeding
AGRI-TECH phase feeds critical nutrients based on feed intake and flock age. Our objective is to provide the nutrients necessary for peak production without over formulation. To maximize egg shell quality, calcium and phosphorus levels are altered as the flock grows older.

Professionalism
AGRI-TECH Pullet and Layer Nutrition programs are designed by people with extensive experience in the business of producing eggs. All programs and procedures are developed and tested in company owned flocks before being introduced to the industry.
