Very informative, well structured and professional quality writing.

Informative article regarding the suppression of ovulation. Especially for high production breeds. I just lost another ISA Brown hen this morning due to reproduction issues. 3 years old. She was a sweet bird...

I enjoyed reading this. I see more and more people getting implants for their high-production layers once it places too much burden on their bodies. These chickens are often pets and much loved by their caretakers. A well-structured article, and I appreciate the literary sources at the end.
