ABSTRACT:
A chicken feed composition to promote health or rejuvenate egg production comprising pecan byproduct meal, and a method of feeding chickens to promote health or rejuvenate egg production using the feed composition. Addition of pecan byproduct meal to the feed effectively reduces calorie consumption, body weight, and egg production as desired for the rejuvenation of laying chickens, without resorting to the objectionable practice of extended feed withdrawal. Further, addition of pecan byproduct meal to the feed may positively affect the health of hens in the same manner as conventional fibrous feedstuffs.
