There is currently a serious scarcity in layers and starter feed. But growers and finishers are available. I don't know when this will end, so I've resolve to give my egg layers grower and finisher mash. I'll also add bone meal to complement calcium and phosphorus shortage.

After a calculation using pearson square mtd, I ended up with the following fmla:
1. Finisher: 18kg
2. Grower: 4.9kg
3. Bone meal: 2.3kg
..
1 and 2 cost N108/kg and N88/kg in my area. I'm yet to find that of bone meal. Using only the cost of 1 and 2, 1 bag will cost N2358.
..
Note: my calculation is incomplete though. I have balance for crude protein, phosphorus and calcium, but I'm yet to balance for metabolic energy. When I'm done I'll comment it.
..
So how are you guys coping with the scarcity? Do you have a better solution?

Abeg , make poultry peeps enter d thread.

Not yet.

You see, these kinds of issues are an opportunity for creative minds to develop solutions to problems and even development brand new feed formulae which can be sold to the market. Time to put on thinking caps for the poultry guys here.

It is really serious in aba. My birds aren being under fed at d moment hope tins get better soon......

lt is time to put on the creative cap and come up with a fomula that may turn out cheaper and serving the same purpose! l have come to believe that there is no single solution to anything, so make una start research.

Eyes shud be going to byproducts that are wasted - cassava, leaf meals (moringa etc).
