♻️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 #Dr.Amanuel https://t.me/starvetbooks
