Boosting Poultry Growth: How Growers Feed Is Transforming My Birds πŸ”

in Homesteading β€’ yesterday

Raising healthy birds starts with the feed you provide, hygiene, water, supplements, and a haven for the birds. πŸ¦πŸ’§

Poultry farming is governed by the rule of different feeds for different birds and different birds for different stages of growth for each bird. πŸŒΎπŸ“ˆ

We term turkey, ducks, and chickens as birds, but that doesn't imply that they will take the same kind of meal. In fact, their feed proportion is definitely different for each bird at each stage of growth. πŸ¦ƒπŸ¦†πŸ”

When the birds were only a few days old, they were fed with the starter feed till they were more than three weeks old. The feed contains high protein content, and it has a fine texture that the birds can easily pick and swallow. 🍽️🌱

And it is meant to give the birds the protein nutrients that will boost a massive level of growth, and it also supports bone formation in the case of the other contents of the feed, which will provide the nutrient calcium and other nutrients. 🦴πŸ’ͺ

While growers mash comes just after the three-week mark, at that stage their bodies have evolved, and the body requirements of these birds have changed to something different. πŸ“…πŸ”„

And the starting date for this feed is different for both the broilers and the layers by one more week. πŸ”πŸ—“οΈ

Finally, the protein level for their feed at this stage is relatively lower than before, but it is also just enough to keep them alive and healthy. πŸŒŸπŸ’š
