One thing worth knowing

The soya in this mix is stated as produced from genetically modified soya beans, which is easy to miss lower down a long ingredient list — worth flagging if that's something you check for in a feed.

Why we chose it

Point-of-lay is named specifically rather than left vague, which matters if you're timing a switch from growers feed. Not using an artificial colourant to get a golden yolk is also the kind of detail that's easy to fake with marketing language and harder to fake with an actual ingredient list — maize and grass are doing the work here instead.

Full description

A hen coming into lay for the first time has different nutritional needs to a hen that's been laying for months, which is why layers feeds are formulated as their own category rather than just a slightly richer version of a growers ration.

Argo Golden Yolk Layers Meal combines maize bran, wheat, wheatfeed, soya, rape, grass, calcium carbonate, molasses and added vitamins and minerals. Analysis gives 17% crude protein, 3% crude oil, 7% crude fibre, 10% crude ash, 2.5% calcium and 0.6% phosphorus, fed on an ad-lib basis with clean water. Argo say it's intended from point of lay, around 18 to 20 weeks, and that it contains no artificial yolk colourants — the golden colour comes from maize and grass in the mix instead.

One thing worth knowing. The soya in this mix is stated as produced from genetically modified soya beans, which is easy to miss lower down a long ingredient list — worth flagging if that's something you check for in a feed.

Who it's for: keepers moving hens onto a layers ration for the first time, or anyone who specifically wants a natural-colour yolk feed rather than one relying on a synthetic colourant.
