Chicken feeds cost 70% of poultry production costs hence it is economical to formulate your own feeds so as to save on the production costs. Furthermore, when rearing chickens, always be mindful during feed formulation for example birds kept for commercial purposes should be given more nutritive feeds than those kept for prestige. Also, formulate feeds depending on the type of chicken for example pure breeds require more nutritive feeds.

Strategies to consider

First, always mind the age of the birds during feed formulation this is because birds at different ages require different feed nutrition compositions so as to get the required outcome. Also, consider the activity of the birds for example free-range birds need more energy than birds under intensive systems. Furthermore, consider reproduction for example if the eggs are to be used for incubation then birds should be fed well. Additionally, mind the season since chickens require more nutrients in the cold season to keep their bodies warm. Lastly, ensure to balance the feed energy levels since too much energy levels negatively affect feed consumption.
