CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Chicken feed feeding tips to make chickens healthier

Importance of feed

Feed is one of the most important input costs in the breeding industry. A reasonable combination of feed can not only meet the nutritional needs of chickens, but also increase the egg production rate and growth rate of chickens. Therefore, the correct feeding method is very important for the healthy development of chickens.

Choose the right feed

First of all, we need to choose the right feed according to the breed and function of the chicken. Chickens at different growth stages require different nutrients. For example, broilers need high-protein feed to promote growth, while laying hens need calcium-rich feed to increase egg production.

Secondly, you should choose a reliable feed brand. By understanding the ingredients, production process and quality standards of the feed, you can judge whether the feed meets the standards and ensure that the chickens get high-quality feed.

Reasonable feed matching

The goal of feed matching is to provide sufficient nutrition according to the needs of the chickens and maintain the balance of the feed. When matching feed, the feed formula should be formulated according to the breed, age, gender and breeding goals of the chickens.

Feed formula usually includes roughage and concentrate feed. Roughage is mainly grains and legumes, which provide energy and fiber; concentrate feed includes protein, vitamins and minerals, which provide other essential nutrients.

Reasonable control of feed amount

Both excessive and insufficient feed can have adverse effects on the health of chickens. Excessive feed can lead to obesity, increased excrement, and an increased risk of disease in chickens; insufficient feed can affect the growth and egg-laying ability of chickens.

The amount of feed should be reasonably controlled according to the growth stage and breeding goals of the chickens. The amount of feed fed daily can be adjusted according to the chickens' appetite and growth status, and weight measurement and production performance monitoring should be carried out regularly to ensure a reasonable supply of feed.

Pay attention to the storage and feeding of feed

The storage and feeding of feed also need attention. Choose a dry, ventilated and moisture-proof place to store feed to prevent the feed from getting damp and moldy. During the feeding process, the feeding utensils should be cleaned regularly to prevent the feed from deteriorating and contaminating.

Summarize

Feeding is crucial to the health of chickens and the development of the breeding industry. By choosing suitable feeds, reasonably matching feeds and controlling feed quantities, and paying attention to feed storage and feeding, chickens can be healthier and grow faster, thus improving breeding efficiency.
