I am humbled as poultry industry is growing rapidly hence the need to improve it more in the breeding sector. I wish many funders could come on board and support more programmes.

I would appreciate if you give the quantities of each and probably what substitute what. However, we have farmers' shops which sell ingredients that can be used to manufacture feed. Unfortunately, I am not sure of the quantities to be used for a particular type of feed e.g broiler starter.

Crops grown include maize, sorghum, rice, groundnuts, soya beans, sunflower, cassava, et.c.

I would like to be assisted on feed formulations for broilers and layers. It must be something easy to follow or understand. I want to start manufacturing my own feed as well as teach my farmers as it is the only way they can maximize their profits. I work as an Extension Officer in the Ministry of Agriculture in the Eastern Province of Zambia.
