Broiler feed formulation

HI IS AT ALL POSIBLE TO RAISE BROILERS IN 6 WEEKS TO LIVE WEIGHT OF 3.5KG AS THE FRIEND FROM NIGERIA HOPE MY BEST CAMES TO 2.7 MAX

Yes, very much. This information is very helpful for the poultry industry.It can give idea on the formulation of feed stock at least cost. Thank you for your column.

Hi, I am a Kenyan interested in going into feed manufacturing and formulation Currently a lecturer,I am a nutritionist. I need more information on how one can get 3.5 broiler live wt in 6 weeks,

Producing a 3.5 kg broiler is somehow practically impossible. However, it can be done if the feed at grower lever is in excess of fats thus soluble which is bad for chicken due to hearty complication. It is better to produce meat which is health rather than rushing to produce low quality product.

I am poultry farmer interested in feed formulations Can someone please tell me what is it in feed formulae that make poultry broilers achieve a weight of 2.5 to 3.0 KG in 6 weeks.Is it several factors and if so which one is the major factor.

Hi how are you.am from arusha tanzania.the mostly available material for formulating broiler feed are maize,wheatfeed,fish meal,sunflawer cake,cotton cake,brewery yeast,limestone,blood meal,and bone meal.methionine,lysine,dcp and broiler premixes are also available in the shops.how can i formulate the suitable broiler feed based from the above material?

To mr.Maurice Obewa Hello sir. if your question is still available , I am happy to help you. All the best Dragan

In Dar es Salaam the choice of raw materials for formulating broiler feed is rather limited and consist of maize, maize bran, fish meal, sunflower cake, cotton seed cake, blood meal, lime, dcp, bone meal, salt, lysine, methionine and broiler premix. How best can these ingredients be used to formulate a broiler feed that is going to give a live weight of one kilogram in five weeks?

What determines the nutrient content of cereals and oil crops? How can I perfect the home made broiler feeed?

ALTHOUGH I READ THIS ARTICLE LATE, IT PROVED SO VITAL AND HANDFUL TO ME. HOWEVER, THE AUTHOR SHOULD TRY AND RESPOND TO SOME OF THE ISSUES RAISED BY THOSE THAT HAVE COMMENTED ON THE ARTICLE. THANKS.

How can I ensure growth of a broiler min. wt. of 1.8 kg in 30 days. We have in our country available ingredients as raw material for producing broiler feeds are Maize, Soybean meal, Fulfat soybean, Soybean oil, Rice Polish, Lime stone powder, Meat & bone meal, & Salt. Is there any body to kindly suggest me. Thanks Rgds E.I. Mahbub

Dear Dr. K. R. Gunasekar, do not wont to discuss about "Increase in the fibre content of the feed is useful in slowing down the intestinal motility (which is normally higher in the summer). Including at least 2- 3% SFDOC to increase the fibre in all types of feed will deliver better results. (This will contribute at least 0.3 to 0.4% increases in the fibre of the diet)" but would like to metion that is not enough just to take care about the fiber just as a crud fiber. There is a huge diference between insoluble and soluble fiber: Here are some extracts from Hubbard's Nutrition Guide: Fiber is a nutritionally, chemically and physically heterogeneous material. This heterogeneous mix can be categorized into two major subclasses i.e., soluble, viscous and fermentable fiber and insoluble, no viscous and no fermentable fiber. Differentiation of water-soluble and insoluble fiber components has helped elucidate the physiological effects of fiber (Newman et al., 1992) as the two subclasses have different roles in the digestive/absorptive processes within the gastrointestinal tract. Here some example soluble versus insoluble fibre: SOLUBLE FIBRE • Lowering intestinal passage rate • Reduces digestion of fat, protein and starch. • Energy source for monogastric animals • Affects viscosity of the digesta • Mainly fermentable parts • Reduces dry matter of faeces • Binds nutrients (pectin) INSOLUBLE FIBRE • Structuring fibre • Accumulate in the gizzard. Regulate digest passage • Improves starch digestibility • Increased intestinal passage rate. • Poorly fermentable • Stimulation of intestinal villi • No energy source for young monogastrics • Increases dry matter content of Faeces The insoluble fraction used to be considered as performing an exclusively dilutionary role. However, in addition to their effect on energy consumption and consumption time, it was shown by Hetland et al (2003) that the insoluble fibre increased retention times in the gizzard and improved the digestibility of the starch by increasing the gastro-intestinal reflux of bile salts. It is also apparent that an increased content of insoluble fibre may reduce stereotypic behaviors such as tail pecking. END OF extracts from Hubbard's Nutrition Guide. There are many fiber sources but most of them are: - at the same time also a mycotoxin sources - soluble fiber sources - low concentrated - produce a higher water intake which after results in wett litter (pododermatitis Problems, higher amonia, more flys problems etc.) - etc I would like to recomend you to use a concentrated insoluble fiber sorces as Lignocelulose (ARBOCEL): - high concentrated (les product needed to reach the animal recuriment, high concentrated Feeds are easier to formulate = important in high temperature climates, etc.) - no mycotoxin risk - better Protein digestibility (it is known that insoluble increase feed retention time in the gizzard, the pH is than lower, etc.) - the water intake is not afected (by ARBOCEL absorbed water is in last intestine part reabsorbed and the feaces is DRYER) - better litter Quality - reduce feather picking (canibalism) - etc. have a look on https://en.engormix.com/MA-poultry-industry/nutrition/forums/gizzard-lesions-dark-reddish-t6565/141-p0.htm#18420 If you Need more Information / publication please do not hasitate to contact me: Zoltan.gregus@jrs.de Best Regards

Hi The broiler chicken feed is very expensive in our country as a results is makes the business not profitable. I want to start making my own broiler chicken feed. We have maize in our country. The other raw material seems to be scarce. Please advice on how we can make our own feed.

Hi sir how and when can I use tallow to rase energy in broiler deit

Hi how are you am from Mwanza Tanzania available material for formular lating broilerfeed are maize,maizebran,wheatbran,fish meal,sunflowercake,cottoncake,primix available in the shop,palmcake,limestone,bonemeal, to formulate a broiler feed that is going to give a live weight of 1.2kg in four week

Hello Sir/Ma,I am a Nigerian .I want to go into broiler production that will not be more than eight weeks of maturity. Can you please use your good office to give me a good formula that will give me good result and will be profitable Thanks Akintomiwa O .K (Mrs)

i have a feed industries now i m manufacturing cattle feed and want to start broiler feed..
