Dear house,

What is the general thought on limiting feeding for Broilers?

Is it just kobo-wise naira foolish?

This issue has arisen mainly because buyers have disappointed (could a deliberate ploy to bring price down) and Cash flow is now an issue...

My partner has decided that we ration the feed - something like feeding them at 65-70 %; basically two meals instead of three on an equivalent for humans.

The initial thought was to sell at 6 weeks but now into the 8th week, we still have a lot to shift. We also started a new batch - money is tight...

We are now looking at the Easter holiday sales but with limiting feeding, I suspect only 25% might achieve target market weight of about 2.5 kg.

Dilemma!

Pls how do I formulate feed for my birds what's the formulas I am tired of buying expensive ready made feeds

I think the folks at the feed shop might be able to help. Of course, it depends on the type of birds and stage of development or life. My partner does all that but the feed mill he goes to is very accommodating and they store his past formulas and help him based on what they have in stock.
