the article about formulating feed for broiler performance is very good however, the effect of stress and ammonia on growth is not mentioned,please update this info it will be very helpful.
Dear Dr. Gunasekar
It is important to use and manibulate these facts dealed with different ratios of amino acids and energy to decrease the protein content of the diet (low protein diet) with the same efficiency to produce food conversion=1.5
I have puplished it and is now my modern technique
Prof. Dr. Khalid Gaafar
Excellent article. Many thanks. However, could I get any tips on using soya bean as protein source in poultry feeds. For example, how can I detoxify it, i.e. removing the anti-nutritional factors. not on industrial scale but on a Small farm where I want to process my own high value feed. Could I have a few basic rations for broilers using simple ingredients such as maize, s/flower, sorghum and soya and with soya and fish meal.
In my region we have crops maily: maize, sorghum, beans, sunflower. What could be the best typical recipe ration for making broiler mash feed.e.g.grower mash?
A very nice piece. I need to know what the impact of light got to do with achieving target weight (1-8kg-2.0kg) within a stipulated time frame of 42 days. How do we combine the feeding time, lighting time and quantity of feeds?
Dear author, I am happy to see your article and you have justified the guidelines required for a farmer or a technician for formulation of broiler ration.
May I get some clarification on the following points:
1- Do we get good response with Na%-16, and cl%-30. Is there any difficulty involved is such situation?
2- You have given a DEB range of 200-250 in prestarter and starter and finisher. If i keep it at 200meq then i get good or at 250?
3- How do you suggest for veg feed which restrict more bacterial load as compared to non-veg feed?
Thank you sir. dr m rath
Dear Sir,
Thank you for sharing us your valuable experianced , my question is
1) what is the optimum performance you acheived with these diets ? what is the killing age, killing body weight, F.C.R and dressing percentage ?
2) Does this recommendation workable in all breed ? or you have differant specification for every breed ?

Thanks for you article, but I am finding it hard blending some ingredient to be able to arrive at the stipulated crude protein and energy level with limited cost.Can you give me a guide. Thanks
Dear Mr Khalid Gaafar,
Pl give detailed feed formulations and application of low protien diet yielding 1.5 FCR

Dear sir this is an interesting information presented to some of us in the business of poultry feeds manufacturing but the writer did not consider the effect of summer-winter variations while formulating the feeds. Secondly he did not also mentioned the effect of lighting on the performance of the birds along with the strains of the broiler so that the grower can attained a table weight in 6 weeks of about (3.5kgs) live weight with least feeds cost.
