How to improve feed efficiency in broiler?

The cost of feed for broiler farming accounts for about 70% of its feeding cost. In 

order to effectively improve feed utilization, farmers need to start with broiler

feeding management for feed utilization in daily:

Choosing The design of trough size and depth according to the variety of chicken. 

The location of the trough should be appropriate, the upper edge of the trough will

 be 2cm higher than the chicken back, to prevent from feed wasted..

Choose food Diet with no residue, pollution-free, environment-friendly feed ingredients

and additives. All ingredients, protein, energy, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients 

are determined according to chicken variety, age, size, male and female. All the types

of raw materials will be diversified; the best young broiler feed is commodity pellets

 feed. After heat supply,  broiler feed will be changed to meet nutrient needs for the 

chicken in all stages.

Form a good Feeding habits with regular quantitative feeding each time, and also 

feed less and feed many times. a feeding amount should be not more than 1/3 of the

trough depth.

Deworming regularly to reduce the ineffective feed input. Regular feeding pellet feed is 

conducive to the digestion and absorption of feed, and this can save feed, reduce waste. 

Experiments show that regular feeding sand, digestibility can be increased by 3% to 10%.

Make a Good feed storage.

Feed should be placed in a well ventilated, dry, dark place to prevent feed oxidation, 

rotten metamorphosis, rats, black steal and other waste. Chicken Farm should Eliminate

Mice regularly ; easy-moldy feed should be stored with good-ventilation and moisture

-proof, and also natural dry feed regular drying or put adding antifungal agents.

Note that stress-induced has a more extensive bad effect on chickens. In the case of feed, 

chickens may only eat food and without production performance, and chicken farm should

minimize adverse stimuli.

If nutrition is not comprehensive, it will inevitably lead to increased feed intake to make up

for a lack of nutrients, and it will result in feed waste. Therefore, please offer a balanced 

nutrients chicken feed to maximize feed-meat conversion rate.

Offer Light control , For reasonable lighting time can ensure nutrient supply, but also improve

feed conversion rate, thus reducing feed waste.

Comfortable temperature, if temperature is not comfortable, and this will increase in feed

intake of chicken. Therefore, farmers will offer heat supply in winter,  and effective cooling 

system in summer, and strive to control the most comfortable temperature to improve 

feed-meat conversion rate
