What’s the Best Chicken Feed Formula?

Importances of Chicken Feed Formula

As it’s known to us, the cost of poultry feed takes up to 65-75% of the total cost of poultry production business. Therefore, it is really important to have the right formula for chickens. Sometimes, one little mistake on poultry formula will increase production cost or cause great loss for poultry producers or poultry farming business. Chicken feed formulation is to meet the nutritional requirements of the chickens by giving the feed through an optimal combination of different chicken feed ingredients. At the same time, as human society is an economic society, it is not enough to ensure that chickens can grow properly, but they also need to achieve many other requirements, such as growing faster, spending less and earning more. In addition to the animal's own growth and development, reproduction and other needs for energy and protein, there are also human requirements for them, such as the requirement for tender chicken meat, so that humans must artificially change the animal's nutritional needs to achieve certain purposes.

Keys for Chicken Feed Making

• Raw Material Selection

Raw material selection gives priority to local feed crops, such as wheat, rice and maize, and then the purchase of additives, premix raw material concentrates, etc., as appropriate. Even if they are reliable raw materials, attention should be paid to their use ratio, just as wheat cannot be used in its entirety to replace energy raw materials, and vegetable meal cannot replace animal-derived protein.

• Absorption Rate of Raw Materials

Chicken farmers often make mistakes when formulating feeds based on relevant information, without paying attention to the absorbability of feed ingredients. For example, in protein feed, the absorption rate of rapeseed meal, soybean meal, fish meal and cotton meal gradually decrease. Some feeds with high protein content sell for less than feeds with low protein content. However, the imbalance of phosphorus and calcium in the ratio of added mineral elements can cause blood and diseased bone disease. For example, 2/3 of the calcium is absorbed in baker's and mussel shells and 1/3 in lime in chicken meat.
