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.
