274 a ton I assume?4 tonnes blown free range layers £274
Yes unfortunately274 a ton I assume?
£259 a tonne. It's a shame that people aren't more open with what they are paying. Why is no one willing to talk about feed prices? Is it because there's a bit of competition between the buyers of who's got the better deal, when really we should all be paying the same price for the same product and working together against the feed companies.

Mid lay 16.5% protein. 15t, less than 18 miles and 7 day dd. I know the feed rations vary throughout the flock but when you hear some people have had a price drop it makes you question it. Also I always compare to what is in the ranger as a rough guide. Has anyone had a price drop since the summer?
No, luckily. Does anyone find an increase in feed consumption when you change down rations?

Oats are supposed to be very good in a poultry ration, add fibre etc, do you have to up the amount of soya oil to compensate for their lower energy?The more oats I put in the more they eat. Birds will eat to meet there energy requirements. How much feed your birds eating?
no we don't increase soya oil. once egg weight is where we want it, we starting building oats up to 9% in the ration.Oats are supposed to be very good in a poultry ration, add fibre etc, do you have to up the amount of soya oil to compensate for their lower energy?
@Daniel , what protein level are you on at peak lay.
