For more practical (and compromise) reasons than theoretical ones, it has been decided to propose common formula sets for brown and white breeders, assuming the differences in body weight that exist in favour of the former and egg mass in favour of the latter. The differences in daily consumption between brown and white breeders can vary depending on several factors, including the age and production status of the birds. In general, brown breeders tend to have a slightly higher feed consumption compared to white breeders (5–6 g/bird/day). Additionally, it is important to consider that the nutritional requirements of breeders can be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and housing conditions. Ensuring optimal feed formulation and management practices can help maximise the productivity and health of both brown and white breeders. Regular monitoring and adjustments to the diet based on the specific needs of the birds can lead to better overall performance.
