Optimum egg production in Breeders and Commercial layers is very important to ensure profitability of any poultry operations. The challenges to ensure optimum productivity are –

• Attaining reproductive maturity of pullets so as to start laying on time.
• To maintain peak egg production levels for longer periods.
• Fast recovery from drop in egg production, due to stress or disease conditions.
• Improving fertility and hatchability in case of breeders.
