The v13 release is not just a release either, it is also our official announcement of participation in the annual #hacktoberfest. 💻🥨
We know that we're a few days late to the party, but v13 had to get ready before. 😉
This year, the fest is opt-in for projects and we definitely want to opt into taking part in this great event! If you ever thought about starting coding or giving back to your favourite open source repositories, now is the time! Head over to the hacktoberfest website to learn more about it.
We already prepared some issues on our repositories and aim towards opening more issues for starters, but feel free to begin a hunt for improvements and fixes by yourself!
♻️FEEDING GUIDE ON BROILER CHICKS
✅Starter Feed (0-3 weeks):
The starter feed is designed to provide the energy and
protein necessary for rapid growth during the first few
weeks of a broiler's life. It's typically higher in protein content
to support muscle and feather development.
✅Here's a typical formulation for starter feed:
Maize (Corn): 50-60% — Provides energy.
Soybean Meal: 25-30% — Rich in protein for growth.
Fish Meal/Meat Meal: 5-10% — Additional protein to boost
growth.
Wheat Bran: 5% — Source of fiber and micronutrients.
Limestone: 1-2% — Ensures proper bone development.
Dicalcium Phosphate: 1-2% — Provides phosphorus and
calcium for bone health.
Salt: 0.2-0.3% - Maintains electrolyte balance.
Vitamin and Mineral Premixes: As per manufacturer's
guidelines for the required nutrients.
Probiotics and Enzymes: 0.5-1% — Improves digestion and
nutrient absorption.
✅Grower Feed (3-6 weeks):
The grower feed formulation is slightly lower in protein than
the starter feed but still maintains enough protein to support
continued growth and muscle development.
♻️Typical grower feed formulation:
Maize (Corn): 55-65% — Provides energy for continued
growth.
Soybean Meal: 20-25% — Protein for muscle development.
Sunflower Meal: 5-10% — Additional protein source and
enhances digestibility.
Rice Bran: 5-10% — Provides energy and fats for increased
growth rate.
Wheat Bran: 2-5% — Fiber for digestion.
Limestone: 1-1.5% — Calcium for bone health.
Dicalcium Phosphate: 1-1.5% - Balanced phosphorus and
calcium.
Salt: 0.2-0.3% — Electrolyte balance.
Vitamin and Mineral Premixes: According to manufacturer
guidelines.
Probiotics and Enzymes: 0.5-1% — Support gut health and
nutrient absorption.
♻️Finisher Feed (6 weeks until market):
The finisher feed focuses on providing the final boost in
weight gain and ensures that broilers reach market weight
efficiently. It contains less protein than the grower feed, as
the chickens are now focusing more on fat deposition
