purina1One of poultry producers most reliable feeds has just been made better. Purina Animal Nutrition has updated its proven formula of Purina® Layena® Premium Poultry Feed, formulated to support hen immune health and support egg quality and available in both pellets and crumbles.

“Hens require additional, specific nutrients when they begin laying eggs,” says Gordon Ballam, Ph.D., director of lifestyle innovation and technical services for Purina Animal Nutrition. “We look to our own backyard flock to fine-tune feeds that work best in the backyard poultry environments that are growing in popularity.

“Layena® Premium Poultry Feed includes the high-quality ingredients laying hens require, because we know what you feed your hens impacts the quality of eggs you feed your family,” Ballam adds.

New Purina® Layena® Premium Poultry Feed includes:

· Prebiotics, probiotics and yeast to support immune health

· Freshly-ground North American grains with simple ingredients you can trust

· A balance of vitamins and minerals to support shell strength and egg nutrition levels

Purina officials say you should start feeding the new Layena® Premium Poultry Feed to hens when they begin laying eggs between 18 and 20 weeks of age.
