Post-hatch supplements in broiler chicks

Post hatch management of day old chicks determines the weight at slaughter. If birds do not start with good nutrition, water, lighting , heat these three things work hand in hand to produce enough weights and good broiler meat at 42 days. Feed need to have enough proteins, cabohydrates, and minerals and trace minerals water should not have coliforms or should not have heavy metals other impurities that will affect the uptake of the wate. light should be enough for birds to see the feed. Heat should keep the birds warm all the time so that they have time to feed and not crowding

I agree with you sir,but farmers do not follow or go for quality Feed.  Insteady they start adding funny supplements and growth promoters.

I fully agree with you. Some other factors like hatchery born infections, coccidiosis, brooder pneumonia and feed with <5 ppb of aflatoxin, also place it's influence on market weight of broilers.

As mentioned by Dr.Sankaralingam, many more factors are involved in obtaining a healthy broiler of good weight, but early chick nutrition is presently a hot topic, were chicks are fed in the hatcher so that no time is lost on obtaining nutrition by the chick. It is well understood that the first week of a broilers life when amazing growth takes place is the most crucial period. therefore nutrition is one of the most important factors to obtain a bird of required/ good weight.

Very interesting and informative article for poultry meat producers to strictly follow the right thing especial on the aspect of good a nutrition for doc, but in our developing country most farms do not want to follow a simple rule of getting the best, instead they prefer to cut corner in order to save cost and in doing so that at the end getting a negative result or incurring losses which lead to not restocking the flock again.

I agree, but nontechnical farmars do not admit it. They carry on putting feed additive.
