Manual for Feed Formulation of Commercial Poultry

Description

One rapidly expanding agriculture area is poultry raising, which has evolved from a localized home hobby to a global agro-based economy. Due to its price and nutritional value advantages, the consumption pattern of chicken products is increasing globally. The least expensive animal proteins are found in poultry meat and eggs, consumed worldwide across several cultures, traditions, and faiths. Traditional smallscale/rural poultry systems continue to be essential for distributing chicken products to rural areas, preserving rural livelihoods, and supporting women farmers. Not everyone can be successful in the poultry production industry. It is advisable to research the viability of the business in the area in question and the markets available before starting a poultry operation. Of course, someone with experience and knowledge is more likely to succeed. Making your chicken feed at home can help you save money on chicken feed purchases. Additionally, you will be able to control the quality, which is useful. You can maximize your profit by cutting costs and using the high-quality chicken feed to feed your chickens. In order to feed poultry for optimum growth and production, the birds must consume suitable, balanced diets. The recommended nutrients vary according to species, the use of the birds (eggs versus meat), and the stage of development and production. Cross-feeding is not recommended, such as giving broiler chicken food to laying hens. As a result, raising mixed flocks requires caution. This book aims to make information about tried-and-true methods available to poultry men in general.
