The Purina Layena Plus Omega-3 Chicken Feed is a premium, complete feed formulated for laying hens aged 18 weeks and older. This 16% protein, high-calcium ration is enriched with omega-3-rich flaxseed oil, aiming to produce eggs with up to 250 mg of omega-3 fatty acids—significantly higher than the typical 50 mg found in standard store-bought eggs. The feed also includes Purina’s Oyster Strong® System, providing a steady calcium source for strong eggshells. Additional benefits include enhanced vitamin E for bird health, prebiotics and probiotics for digestive support, and marigold extract for vibrant yolk color.
