During the last decade, nutritionists recommended high protein in broiler diets. Up to 23% Maybe that was too high. Not needed.1. Focus on amino acid balancing rather than protein. Focus on new amino acids like threonine.2. Yearly genetic improvement in feed conversion by selection.Has led to a reduction in crude protein in broiler feed.

I am refering to open sided houses where day temperatures raise beyond 40c. Commercial broilers whose appetite is high continue to eat and succumb to sudden death. Limit feeding during hot part of the day.

Regarding the feed control to reduce mortality and to save feed which is s major input variable...Chicken production is basically converting vegetable protein ( cheaper) in to chicken ( more expensive than feed) The fast growing birds has more appetite and consumes feed more than what is converted in to chicken. The excess consumption can be carefully reduced by limiting the feed ( not exactly res ...

Lifting feeders during hot part of the day in broilers (possible With small farmers with manual feeder) will avoid overeating and sudden death

Breeding resistance to each virus is time taking and expensive process. Avoid virus introduction in to your farm. It is common for all viruses. This lack of disease reduces medication and we get better productions.

Sales talk. Give good biosecurity. Good feed and clean water. The.bird has enough enzymes to convert feed to chicken. The bird does not need garlic or any leaf

Poultry Salmonella pullorum and gallinarum are very species-specific and do not affect other animals or human beings. These two are vertically transmitted. Easy to diagnose respond well for antibiotic treatment and post treatment the carriers can be identified with simple whole blood agglutination test using combined antigen. By testing these diseases are mostly eliminated from commercial poultry. ...

COVID also is a mutating virus. They found some technology. If we work on it I am sure a suitable technology can be evolved. Sitting with stamping out process is multiplying the virus in un vaccinated flocks much faster. The teams working with mortality flocks are at a higher risk

Poultry breeding and genetic improvement became a very specialized research activity majored by a few breeding companies. These companies follow the best disease prevention biosecurity to protect their stocks. HPAI is a deadly disease that wipes out the flock in two days, and there is no way to save leave exporting the diseased chicks.Good vaccines are being manufactured to prevent the disease in ...

Excess calcium is consumed by birds which are on controlled feed (feeders are empty) when grit is offered on free choice basis. Layer hens which are on full feed (feeder has feed) the hens eat as they need. They don't over consume the grit
