One of the most popular breeds of chickens are broilers. They are valued because of their fast growth, large quantities of tasty meat, and the economical feeding process.
Successful broiler breeding, and poultry farming in general, depends heavily on factors such as broiler feed. It must supply the bird with nutrients, including vitamins, amino acids, proteins, fats, and a set of trace elements.
Another important nuance that should be paid attention to is to select the diet of birds according to age, starting from the first day of life. The younger the chicks are, the more frequent feedings they need.
A clear system for farm success
Specialists recommend an eight-feeding regime for newly hatched chicks. During this period, the basis of nutrition should be cottage cheese and chopped boiled eggs, where broiler feed can be added. Some farmers also use wet mixtures with added grain, but such a diet can lead to suffocation of the bird, so during and after feeding the chickens should be closely monitored.
Starting from the sixth day, crushed eggshells and chalk are added to the diet, and if possible, fish oil. This is also the optimal time for the introduction of broilers of the start category into the diet.
From the eleventh day it is possible to reduce the number of feedings from eight to six. Healthy chickens of this age well perceive the expansion of the diet, where added boiled potatoes, sunflower cake, cooked fish and bone meal. Broiler feed at this stage, some farmers advise diluting with milk for additional growth stimulation.
From the age of three weeks, chickens switch to four meals a day. Corn, legumes, including peas, are added to the diet. From the 30th day chicks can be fully transferred to adult mixed fodder of the category "finish", which contains all the necessary substances for an active set of growth. These are vitamins, minerals, chalk, fodder yeast and shells.
