Nutritional Analysis
Protein: 16% Fat: 3.5% Fiber: 5.5%
Layer Meal is Quality Plus’ 16% protein complete layer ration in a meal format—built for producers who want a practical, no-nonsense ration that supports steady egg production. Quality Plus specifically highlights that Layer Meal provides higher energy and calcium than the Layer pellet, which can make it an especially useful option during peak lay and through colder weather when birds often need more nutritional support to maintain performance.
From the manufacturer-posted Guaranteed Analysis, Layer Meal is defined at 16.0% protein, with listed amino acids (lysine 0.7%, methionine 0.4%) and a layer-appropriate calcium range (3.5–4.5%) to support eggshell needs. Vitamins A, D, and E are also guaranteed.
Quality Plus also notes Layer Meal is a good option for game birds and other poultry that prefer meal feeds over pellets—making it a flexible product for mixed-bird operations or customers who simply see better intake with meal.
