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.
