What is the Layer Longevity Programme?

With simplified access to nutrition expertise, including in-feed and on-farm solutions, the Layer Longevity Programme enables you to maximise performance, resilience and productivity. Develop a tailored nutrition programme that extends laying cycles and provides the support that hens need to thrive – from rearing to maturity. Because when it comes to improving sustainability and profitability, every extra week of laying counts.

Producing more eggs with fewer hens can also result in a lower carbon footprint per kilogram of eggs. And you can monitor this thanks to our MyEggPrint tool. It allows you to identify emissions hotspots and target climate mitigation measures in your own operations and in your wider chain – facilitating regulatory compliance and helping your products to stand out in an increasingly environmentally conscious market.

Our approach

What’s the best way to ensure your flock benefits from improved performance at every stage of the production cycle? By looking at the data! Based on a detailed analysis of your past and current flocks, we develop and implement an expert nutrition programme tailored to the specific needs of your hens. We then closely monitor progress and adjust as necessary to ensure producers can meet their productivity and sustainability goals.
