Question
What are the differences between broilers and layers and in their management?
Solution
Layers are meant for egg production, whereas broilers are meant for poultry meat. The housing, environmental and nutritional conditions required by broilers are different from those required by egg layers. The daily food requirement for the broilers should be rich in protein and adequate fat. A broiler requires vitamin rich supplements especially vitamin A and K. They also require extra care and maintenance to increase their survival rate in comparison to egg layers.
