Actually the underfeeding had affected them during their growing stage, which could result in their delay in production and also be the reason of not producing to the expected production. I had such a similar case like that also that I just solved in which those birds were underfed during their growing stage and affected them a lot in which the time the ought to dropped was late, they dropped at 28weeks and by 33weeks their production stopped at 50%. But when I got there and did something changes they changed rapidly to 83%
. Pls what did u do to improve the production@adetch15

Hello House I have 500 72weeks old layers. They are currently doing 49% that is about 240 eggs daily. I feed them 50kg daily and just started giving them vitamins daily. The issue is i am just trying to break even. Do you advise i sell them off or is there anything i can do to improve production. Meanwhile some have been molting for the past 1month.

Dont be greedy.@ 72wks & 50% production,selling off should be your target.Except you are targeting Easter.
