50 briolers will consume 12 bags of feed in 8 weeks, so 500 will consume, 120 bags plus or minus.
Check the cost of bag of feed in your location. You have to make provision for medication and for unforseen circumstances.

It depends on price of DOC, quality of feed used and your target weight.

Just have a budget of 1.8 tons of professional feed or 2 tons of normal feed for the duration of 6 weeks. 40k for drugs, vaccine and brooding materials. Add everything with current price of DOC and get your total cost.

Thanks, why I'm asking is because someone told me that to feed 500 broilers for 6weeks, I will have to use 160 bags of 25kg hybrid feed.

Noiler is a dual purpose breed of chicken developed for small holder farmers to address the challenges of food insecurity
and financial dependency among rural populace, especially women.

Unique Features
Noiler is bred to survive in free range and on kitchen waste and farm by-products
to produce good quality meat and egg, hence dual purpose bird with following
characteristics:

- Hardiness
- High resistance to common diseases
- Heat tolerance
- Low input- feed cost, shelter, labour
- Tougher meat than broiler
- Nutritional security
The Noiler chick is a potential bio-converter of no cost agricultural, household and natural waste abundant in villages — into human protein food and substantial incomes for rural households.it eats whatever the local fowl eats yet grows as big as broiler.isn't this awesome?

To order for your 4weeks Noiler chicken call or WhatsApp 08060115253

The person is not into poultry business i think. 4kg per bird is enough to feed broiler for six weeks, You may not even need up to that to get heavy weight birds if you use professional feed.

Chikun Ultima super starter and its finisher.

Cheapest among professional feeds brands at 154k per tons. I am a die hard fan of Breedwell professional feed, but they failed me in my last two circles. This Chikun Ultima is currently doing wonderful job in terms of fast growth. Hybrid and new hopes professional feeds are also good but more expensive than Chikun Ultima with the same quality or even not up to Chikun.

Specially made feed, quality and expensive than normal feed. Brands like Breedwell, Chikun, Hybrid, New Hope, Happy chicken, all have their special formulation feeds called professional feeds.
