| Summary | This field trial evaluated the effect of AO-Biotics® EQE on performance and mortality in rearing pullets from 9 to 15 weeks of age. The data obtained was compared to the farm’s historical standard performance curve (Farm Standard Curve) and the Lohmann Brown Classic management guide. Feeding AO-Biotics® EQE to pullets during rearing (9–15 weeks) improved body weight, enhanced feed efficiency, and reduced mortality of the flock. These improvements indicate stronger development, more efficient nutrient utilization, and higher survivability, which together support greater productivity and persistency during the laying cycle, ultimately enhancing farm profitability. |
