If you're raising layers in Kenya — whether 50 birds in Machakos or 5,000 in Kiambu — the feed you choose directly determines your egg numbers, shell quality, and profit margin. Fugo Layer Compleat Meal by Unga Farm Care is one of the most widely used layer feeds in the country, and as the authorized Fugo distributor at Hotline Agrovet, we've seen firsthand what it does for Kenyan poultry farmers.
What Makes Fugo Layer Compleat Meal Different?
The word "Compleat" is key — this feed is a complete, ready-to-feed ration. You don't need to add maize or other supplements. It contains:
- Crude protein: 17–18% — the minimum needed for consistent egg laying
- Calcium: 3.5–4% — the most critical mineral for shell formation
- Energy (ME): ~2,650 kcal/kg — enough for daily production without excess fat
- Lysine & methionine — essential amino acids for egg protein
- Coccidiostat — helps prevent coccidiosis in your flock
- Vitamins A, D3, E, K, B-complex — for immunity and reproduction
How Much to Feed Per Bird Per Day
| Flock Stage | Feed Per Bird/Day | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Point of lay (18–20 weeks) | 100–110 g | Transition slowly from Growers Mash |
| Peak lay (25–45 weeks) | 110–120 g | Maximum production period |
| Late lay (46+ weeks) | 100–110 g | Reduce slightly as production drops |
A 50kg bag of Fugo Layer Compleat feeds approximately 416–500 birds for one day at peak lay. For 100 birds, one bag lasts roughly 4–5 days.
Feeding Schedule for Maximum Egg Production
- Morning (6–7 AM): Feed 60% of the daily ration. Layers are hungriest after the night and will start laying within hours.
- Afternoon (2–3 PM): Feed the remaining 40%. Always have fresh, clean water available — water directly affects egg count.
- Light management: Layers need 16 hours of light per day. If using artificial light, adjust feeding accordingly.
Signs of Good Performance on Fugo Layer Compleat
- Hen day production rate of 80–90% in healthy flocks
- Hard, uniform shell thickness
- Deep yolk colour (orange-yellow)
- Minimal broken eggs
- First egg at 18–20 weeks (good genetics + good feed)
Common Mistakes That Reduce Egg Production
- Underfeeding: Giving less than 100g/bird/day to "save money" — always backfires
- Mixing with low-quality maize: Layer Compleat is already complete. Diluting it reduces protein and calcium levels
- Inconsistent feed times: Layers are creatures of habit — erratic feeding causes stress and drop in lay
- Water shortages: A bird without water for even 4 hours can stop laying for 2–3 days
