Once the pullets arrive at the layer house they are fed a layer ration high in calcium (egg shells require a LOT of calcium!) and given 14-16 hours of light daily to stimulate egg production. Most producers like flocks to begin laying at around 20 weeks of age. A flock of hens will lay efficiently for 60-65 weeks.his saves time and money separating the females for egg production. Todayâs egg producing hens can produce over 300 eggs per year; this is over twice the average of 150 eggs per year in 1947.
DNA is double helical in structure. each spiral strand, composed of a sugar phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by hydrogen bonding (â¦ non-covalent) between paired bases, adenine (A) with thymine (T) and guanine (G) with cytosine (C).
DNA usually exists as a double-stranded structure, with both strands coiled together to form the characteristic double-helix. Each single strand of DNA is a chain of four types of nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA contain a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate, and a nucleobase.
