Layer production

The Brazilian egg industry demands high nutritional quality, operational efficiency, and strict cost management throughout the entire laying cycle. Farm profitability relies on consistent feed quality to sustain peak laying performance, eggshell and interior quality, and overall bird health.

FS formulates animal nutrition ingredients within a circular economy model, adding value to the corn ethanol production process and promoting efficient resource utilization. Our ingredient portfolio emphasizes quality, sustainability, and batch-to-batch consistency to enable optimized feed formulations profitability for egg producers.

FS Essencial | HPDDG – High-Protein DDG

FS Essencial is a protein and energy feed ingredient engineered for layer operations requiring high nutritional quality, formulation flexibility, and consistent performance throughout the entire laying cycle. Its composition delivers an efficient supply of protein, amino acids, energy, and natural pigments—such as carotenoids—enabling greater nutritional precision aligned with strategies that add value to the final egg product.

Integrated into a circular economy model, FS Essencial is derived from corn ethanol processing, offering full raw material traceability, environmental stewardship, and a low carbon footprint that strengthens sustainability in egg production.

Main benefits for laying hens

  • Efficient energy and protein source.
  • Flexibility in feed formulation.
  • Maintains lay rate and egg mass while optimizing production costs.
  • Contributes to better natural yolk pigmentation.
  • Traceable ingredient and lower carbon footprint.
  • Contains functional components, such as 𝛽 – glucans and yeast cell wall fractions.

Recommended use

Studies conducted in Brazil demonstrate inclusion rates of up to 16% in layer diets. Optimal inclusion levels should be determined based on the rearing phase, performance targets, and overall nutritional strategy. For higher inclusion levels, evaluating and balancing branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) is recommended to maximize zootechnical results.

FS Ouro | High-Fiber DDG with Solubles

FS Ouro is a soluble-rich fiber source used in feed for laying hens. This product can replace traditional fiber sources while delivering natural pigments that enhance yolk coloration.

Main benefits for laying hens

  • A source of fiber for feed formulation.
  • Opportunity to replace traditional fiber sources, such as wheat bran or soybean hulls.
  • Enhances yolk coloration due to natural pigments.
  • Maintains production performance and egg quality.
  • Traceable ingredient and lower carbon footprint.
  • Contains functional components, such as 𝛽 – glucans and yeast cell wall fractions

Recommended use

Demonstrated inclusion rates of up to 10% in the diet (refer to the technical guide). However, optimal inclusion levels depend on specific nutritional goals and overall formulation strategy.
