Chicken Feed Production by dailyspot: 10:17pm On Apr 06, 2016 |
Statistics carried that about 52% of our homes nationally breed livestocks like chicken for either home consumption or for sales and these chickens feeds everyday. The question now is the food they eat...how sure are we that these feeds that we buy in market everyday contain all the essential nutrients that our chickens need for their healthy and proper growth. Different breed of chickens need different feeds which are changed at a particular stage in their life span...eg layers, broilers etc. How do we then tackle the problem of feeds. In some poultry, chickens are feed with pap end waste product mixed with ground palm kernel nuts which are not really healthy for chickens while some poultry practice pasture method where the chickens goes around looking for what to eat. These methods delay the maturation period and produce a less weight birds than those feed with real nutrious and standard feed. Its now advisable to produce our chicken feed ourselves because of the economy of the country and to be 100% sure of the feed's composition. Feed companies can produce imbalance feed that met lack some addictive nutrients required by the birds with a view of maximising profit. Observation stated that we save 30% when we produce a 50kg bag of feed when compared to the same quantity purchased from feed companies. Here are the raw materials and quantity required to produce 70kg of broiler starter feed. * 12kg of fishmeal(omena) * 40kg of maize * 14kg of soya bean meal * 70g of premixed amino acid( 35g of lysine and 35g of threonine) * 4kg of lime. 2 Likes |

How did you arrive at your figures. Stop misleading people, you have to tell us the percantage crude protein of the firmulated feed, its ether extract %age, its metabolizable energy level and etc |

Maqpisces: Broilers have different feed requirements in terms of energy, proteins and minerals during different stages of their growth. Young broilers have a high protein requirement for the development of muscles, feathers, etc. Broilers feed should contain between between 22 -24% DCP. To formulate feeds, farmers have to use the Pearson Square method. In this method, the digestible crude protein (DCP) is the basic nutritional requirement for any feed preparation. The following are the DCP values for each of the common ingredients used in feed making: Whole maize — 8.23% Soya — 45% Fishmeal (omena) — 55% Maize bran — 7% Sunflower — 35% , then from my statistics 12kg of fishmeal(omena) * 40kg of maize * 14kg of soya bean meal * 70g of premixed amino acid( 35g of lysine and 35g of threonine) * 4kg of lime. Multipling with the Pearson formulae For fish meal 12×55÷100=6.6% For soya 14×45÷100=6.3 For maize 40×8.23÷100=3.29 For lime 4×0÷100=0 total = 16.19 To get the total crude protein percentage of all these ingredients in a 70kg bag of fee,we should take this crude protein content of the combined ingredients, divide by 70kg and then multiplied by 100, thus 16.19÷70×100= 23.13% This is within the standard stipulated broiler feed composition value. 1 Like 1 Share |

Cee9: Its advisable you feed broilers from a day old to 4weeks with starter and then change direct to finisher because at this point what they need is feed that will mark them yield meat for you so... Preparing broiler Finisher feed (70kg) 10kg of whole maize 16.7kg of maize germ 13.3kg of wheat pollard 10 kg wheat bran 6 kg of cotton seed cake 4.7kg of sunflower cake 3kg of fishmeal 2kg of lime 3.4kg of soya meal 40g of bone meal 10g of grower PMX 5g of salt 5g of coccidiostat 1 Like 1 Share |

Why Dont U Include The Link You Copied The Formulations From.Also,i Know You Are Not A Practising Farmer Because: Cotton Seed cake & Sunflower Cake Are Not Common(unavailable) In Our Environment. dailyspot: |
Re: Chicken Feed Production by dailyspot: 12:08pm On Apr 08, 2016 |
tabontabon:There are cottonseed cakes in Nigeria, jus ask ur agromarketer, then for your sunflower cake...when its difficult for you to locate depending on ur location, you can make use of your fish meal. Am a practicing livestock rearer,with some yrs experience, I published this not for any gain or stop anyone from his business but this is the time everyone will be careful in the type of feed purchases because must companies are profit oriented and can produce a substandard feed just because of the high economic structure of our nation 2 Likes 2 Shares |
