Chicken feed ingredients and classifications
In most industrial settings, chicken feed is two-thirds corn and one-third soy. That said, a 50-year egg industry study found that many farmers have improved their hen feed while minimizing soybean and corn usage.
All feed used in industrial egg production must be equally suitable for producing and non-producing hens. Grains free of conventional pesticides or fertilizers may also qualify as organic under USDA standards. Egg product from hens with diets comprising solely this feed may be classified as organic.
Chicken feed input costs and pricing
Corn and soy are the two major input costs in the grains used for chicken feed. Egg producers’ and grain suppliers’ knowledge of these input costs is often the basis of price agreements in standard market conditions. Cost-plus deals are also common, reflecting these inputs’ prices as well as a premium for services.
Eggs Unlimited tracks the soy and corn market through our regular conversations with egg industry titans. We use the trends and prices we observe to analyze and predict future prices. We then create deals amenable to both egg producers and grain suppliers.
How often are hens fed?
In industrial settings, hens must be provided fresh feed on a daily basis in accordance with United Egg Producers (UEP) standards. This fresh feed must be constantly accessible and free of mold, insects, rodents, litter, or waste. Water must be similarly accessible around the clock.
Certifications
Hens that eat organic feed and meet USDA criteria produce organic eggs. Grain suppliers within the Eggs Unlimited network offer certified organic feed, and Eggs Unlimited sources USDA organic, cage-free, and free-range eggs. We also offer product with UEP certification and Humane Certified® pasture-raised recognition from Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC).
