The energy content in the layers mash can't be compared to that of the broiler feed moreso the protein content of broiler feed is higher than that of the layers.
Why feeding broilers layers mash... To lay eggs?

everything thing concerning quantity is stated on the pack of antibiotics and vitamins you're using... Just follow the instructions.

1 gram of drug A may not be 1g for drug B in quantity, just like when u compare 25kg of malt and 25kg of feed or cement and sand. The best way to measure drug is to use electronic weight scale. Though I use a level of take away spoon to mean 4g which I know is not correct for many drugs..I hope this helps.nice day.

Layer feed is less expensive,trying to cut cost since my birds will stay longer.
