Fluctuating Egg Production, a problem

Seasonal fluctuations in Egg production of layers is a very common issue. Actually with the change in climate, the amino acid requirements or the protein profile needs to be adjusted.
  A simple example to follow is in that people of Rajasthan and people of Kerela have totally different nutritional requirements. So their food can't  be similar for a longer time. People of Rajasthan use high calories like  ( Ghee etc.) food whereas people of Kerela eat lower calorie food like idli doda Sambar etc. If you co-relate it with the climate and follow it in Poultry, you are on the top of the world.
In India, normally four type of climates come one by one.
From 25 th Dec to 23 March - When humidity starts increasing with lowering of temperature.. This season demands High calories as well as high protein quality and quantity.
23.rd March- 21 St June- When the humid starts decreasing with the increase in temperature also. This season demands  good calories but the protein should be  slightly decreased.
21st June- 23 rd Sept.- When  the humidity again increases along with high temperature. This period again demand high calories with high protein.
23 rd Sep- 25 th. Dec. - The humidity declines with temperature going down very slowly. This season demand low protein and low calories.
These practicality may be experienced by some when they get good productions even at not so good Feed qualities. While sometimes they get shockingly low productions at same Feed quality. GPF  Poultry Feed Supplements have developed a combination of amino acids named  Egg Formula  which caters to the requirements of these seasonal fluctuations. Dose per quintal of Feed is 100- 200 gm.
The other reason for production drop may be a  bacterial or a viral attack. which needs a doctor's advice. Antibiotic or a special vaccination schedule has to be adopted in that case.
