The use of various Chicken Breeding Equipment to raise broilers is a common method in the chicken industry nowadays. Because the breeding equipment adopts a closed breeding mode, it needs more comprehensive feed nutrition to ensure balanced nutrition in the broilers, so the cost of feed The cost is relatively high in the breeding process. Many farmers want to reduce feed costs and increase profits while ensuring the nutritional balance of broilers. The editor comes to think of the farmers and introduces several measures to save feed.
1. Use full-price feed for breeding work: Many farmers think that full-price feeding costs are relatively high, and feel that the cost is wasted. In fact, it is not the case. Full-price feed is processed according to a scientific formula, according to the nutritional needs of the chickens. It is very effective for broilers to take in high-quality nutrition. Using a single feed, the chickens’ intake of nutrients is not comprehensive, and growth and production will be affected. This will increase the cost of feeding virtually, so farmers use the full price Feed can save feed cost.
2. Self-prepared feed: The price of purchasing full-priced feed from the manufacturer is relatively high, and the quality of the feed cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, many farmers choose self-prepared feed and choose local feeds according to the various nutrients needed for the growth of the chickens. The nutrient-rich and inexpensive raw materials are prepared strictly in accordance with the breeding standards. In this way, it can not only meet the nutritional needs of laying hens, but also reduce feed costs.
3. The feed shape and feeding method should be reasonable: the feed shape can affect the feed intake of broilers. When feeding the chickens, farmers should pay attention to the feed not to be crushed too fine, otherwise the palatability will be poor and easy to fly. In addition, when choosing to feed the chickens, do not add too much feed at one time, but add less frequently. According to the experimental results of the farmers, if the feed is up to 1/2 of the trough, the feed waste will reach 7%-8%; Feeding is 1/3 of the trough at a time, and the feed waste is only 1%-2%. Therefore, when the farmers are feeding the chickens, the feed should not exceed 1/3 of the depth of the trough each time to reduce feed waste.
4. Eliminate sick and weak chickens in time: Many farmers have sick and weak chickens in their chicken coops, but farmers are reluctant to eliminate them and usually choose to continue feeding, but they do not have much value. If farmers continue If it is fed, it can only waste the cost of feed, and it will not bring any benefits to the farmers.
5. Pay attention to keeping the feed well: Farmers should pay attention to having a better feed processing and storage place for the purchased feed. The feed should be prevented from rodent damage, mildew, and insects to reduce the loss of feed storage; it should also be stored in the dark to avoid damage to multiple vitamins and other nutrients and reduce the nutritional value of the feed.
The above five points are the several measures that farmers want to reduce feed waste and reduce feed costs in the process of using broiler chicken cage equipment to breed broilers. Hope that the above description can bring some help to farmers
