How to prevent chicken feed from being wasted
Feed costs account for about 70% of the total cost of raising chickens (eggs and broilers). Saving feed is a key part of raising the economic benefits of raising chickens. So, what measures should be taken to prevent feed wastage? 1. To use full-priced compound feeds, increase feed utilization. The nutrient content of the diet is not comprehensive. Increasing the feed intake to make up for it is undoubtedly the largest waste that is not easily noticeable. It must be based on the physiological characteristics of chickens (broilers and laying hens) and the importance of growth and development. . 2. The feed must not be crushed too fine. The fine feed is not easy to feed, but it also increases the dust and causes a waste of feed. 3. Improve the food tank to prevent feed wastage. To provide a reasonably structured trough for the age of the chicken, try to keep the chicken from entering the trough, and do not let the chicken out of the trough. 4. Improve the feeding method and feed less. Dosage does not exceed one-third of the depth of the trough. Not only does the chicken feed, it does not allow the tank to have leftovers. 5. Pay attention to the preservation, to prevent feed from mildew, rodents, rain and direct sunlight. 6. Timely elimination of older chickens, low-yielding chickens, and discontinued chickens.
