CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can raising chickens with fly maggots really reduce feed costs?

1. Can raising chickens with fly maggots really reduce feed costs?

Using chicken manure to breed fly maggots and then feeding them to chickens, this kind of circular farming can effectively reduce the feed cost of raising chickens.

Fly maggots are more expensive than chickens. Chicken manure must be fermented before it can be used to raise fly maggots, and fly maggots must be purchased as seeds. The maggots must be sterilized, and the labor cost increases, which reduces the feed cost.

2. How much feed can be saved if there are enough maggots to raise chickens?

It is not possible to feed chickens with fly maggots completely. Generally, only 10-20% can be added as nutrition. However, the advantage of using fly maggots is that it saves protein feed (which is more expensive). While reducing the main feed cost, it also improves disease resistance.

Save about 10%. Although fly maggots are nutritious, chickens cannot absorb too much of them! Other food should also be sufficient.

3. I want to know if there is anyone raising fly maggots near Qingyun, Shandong? Is raising chickens with fly maggots a scam? Please help me, thank you.

Qingyun doesn't have it yet, but I've seen it on TV, so it shouldn't be a scam. You can do a market survey before investing. I wish you success in your career!

Raising chickens with fly maggots is desirable! A TV station once reported it!

I have seen people raising chickens with mealworms!

4. Is it feasible to raise broiler chickens with maggots?

Under the condition that sanitary conditions meet the standards, it should be feasible to achieve sterile breeding and maggot extraction, and then the feed mixing. Are your sanitary conditions up to the standards? It is relatively safe to use maggots to raise silkie chickens~!
