Whoa! That is scary. How often do you buy a bag of feed?

EMMAACHILE:
Vital feed prices
Super starter=3750
Broiler starter=3650
Broiler finisher=3450
Layer mash=3150
Growers=2850
Chicken mash=3200

Fish feeds for tilapia and catfish are from 6300-6900. Incredible!

Yes she mentioned Aki... I bought the small custard cup for 50 naira

katchycouture:
I bought it from the same people selling the feeds, yes I was told to sprinkle water on it to soften it and break to pieces and then mix it with the feed.. The woman selling it only knws the Igbo name and I didn't quite get the name because I'm not so gud with the language...

katchycouture:
Just say you don't know it and move forward

I was once in your shoe, what I did was I switch to Top feed finisher(Mash)
For me vital feed and top feed are very good..

top feed have pelleted and mash, so go for mash

raphemmanuel:
my dear I will advise you not to compromise the vital feed which you have bought with any additional feed ingredients.
Before a feed is been compounded the normal quantity of each ingredients to be use has been calculated and the exact quantity is used in formulating the feed, so any additional quantity of any ingredients included may affect your productivity.

so if you are looking for a means of lessen cost of production you can look for a well defined feed formulation with the adequat nutrients requirement.

EMMAACHILE:
Looks too cheap

EMMAACHILE:
Why

jfkenny:
Thanks for this, my birds normally finish their feed before I even serve them water.. My problem now is whether the pkc is to be soaked in water before serving. How many kg is adequate for 25kg of vital finisher...thanks in advance as this will reduce my cost of production..

EMMAACHILE:
Yes but it has to be with finisher diet

Palm Kernel Cake as Substitute for Maize in Broiler Finisher Diet
M. Anaeto, G.O. Chioma and D.J. Omosebi

Abstract: A 56 days feeding experiment was conducted using 48 day-old Arbor Acre chicks that were initially raised on a commercial starter for four weeks, to investigate the effect of feeding up to 30% of Palm Cake (PKC) diet on weight gain, organ weight and cost benefit in broiler finisher.

On the 29th day, the birds were weighed and randomly grouped into four. Each group had 12 birds per treatment. Four diets were formulated with diet 1 as the control while 2, 3 and 4 had increasing levels of PKC 0, 10, 20 and 30% in the finisher phase.

At the end of the experiment, three birds per treatment were slaughtered to compare the internal organs such as the heart, liver, gizzard, spleen and lung.

The results showed there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the average daily gain in broilers fed 20% PKC diet than other treatments. No mortality was recorded during the experiment.

Feed cost decreased with increasing levels of PKC in the diets. The feeding of PKC had no significant effect in the internal organ weights except for the gizzard in 20% PKC diet which was significantly heavier (p<0.05) than other treatments. It was concluded that 20% PKC could be incorporated in the broiler finisher diet without compromising their performance.
