ADVERTORIAL FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2025 55 with precise nutrition also prevents fattening issues that can negatively impact laying performance and the general well-being of a hen. However, this means producers must first know their flock’s condition to make the right dietary decisions. A challenge to this has been the inability to non-invasively assess hens in the field, which Cargill ANH solves with REVEAL™ Layers. REAL SOLUTION REVEAL™ Layers is a first-of-its-kind, non-invasive near-infrared technology that monitors poultry body condition. This innovation supports poultry producers by helping to: • Make real-time decisions: REVEAL™ Layers provides real-time data on body condition, enabling precise adjustments to diet composition based on flock insights. This can help improve performance and increase profitability, • Support long-term egg production: Optimal body condition supports sustained egg production over the long term, ensuring that hens remain productive whilst maintaining good health, • Improve profitability: By combining REVEAL™ Layers with Cargill’s nutritional expertise, producers can possibly reduce feed costs while increasing egg production. REVEAL™ is also used effortlessly in three easy steps: • Scan the hen: REVEAL™ technology uses NIR light absorbed through the skin to measure fat pads, • Collect results: The NIR device connects via Bluetooth to a mobile device, displaying results directly on the screen, • Interpret results: Compare the flock's results to the optimal range for the age of the laying hens to provide precise nutritional advice. Click here to see a video demonstration of how it works. REAL VALUE By modifying diet formulations and/or management practices to optimize body condition based on the results of the REVEAL™ scanning we can increase egg production. Producers report significant increases in egg production per hen housed over the productive cycle of up to 100 weeks, depending on the starting point
