Understanding Feed Formulation for Broilers and Layers
Jul 10, 2026 Admin User Poultry Farming Tips

Feed accounts for up to 70% of poultry production costs. Getting your feed formulation right is essential for profitability and bird health.

Nutritional Requirements for Broilers

Broilers require high-protein feeds for rapid growth. Starter feeds (0-3 weeks) should contain 22-24% protein, while grower feeds (3-6 weeks) need 20-22% protein.

Nutritional Requirements for Layers

Layers need a balanced diet with adequate calcium for eggshell production. Layer feeds typically contain 16-18% protein with added calcium and phosphorus.

Using a Feed Making Machine

Investing in your own feed making machine allows you to control ingredient quality and reduce costs significantly. Our feed machinery range includes pellet machines, mixers, and crushers.
