How to effectively reduce the feeding cost of broiler chickens?

1. Reasonable selection of chicken feed for broilers 

Feed accounts for about 70% of the entire feeding cost. For the small profit broiler breeding industry. Saving feed is the key to profit. Reducing feed costs mainly includes reducing formula costs and improving feed utilization efficiency. Broilers have different growth rates at different ages. The nutritional requirements are also different. Therefore, broiler chickens should be fed the corresponding feed according to the characteristics of the growth stage.

Use chicken feed (crude protein: 20%-21%) for hatching to 21 days old, and medium chicken feed (crude protein: 18%-19%) for 22 to 42 days old to ensure its growth, development, life and production needs . From 42 days to slaughter, use large chicken feed (crude protein: 16% 17%) to highlight the fattening effect, so as to fully tap the production potential of broilers.

The stress caused by temperature to the body is different. The loss of various components in feed ingredients is also different. Therefore, these factors should be considered when formulating the formula. Vitamins and trace elements in premixed feed should be stored separately. Reduce the damage of trace elements to higher-priced vitamins. At the same time, try to shorten the storage time of commodity feed.

2. Anti-stress

Stress is an important factor leading to the disease of broilers, and it seriously affects the growth and feed conversion rate of broilers. The factors that cause stress include sound, light, vaccination, refueling, group transfer, and climate change. When stressors are present, anti-stress preparations are needed. Can choose to use commercially available electrolytic multivitamins, vitamin C and kidney tumor detoxifier (or kidney tumor spirit), while adding broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs such as ampicillin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin and so on. The method is to add a drink in the drinking water before vaccination, change of food, and transfer to the group until the day after the end of the day: on the day of climate change, drink in the drinking water to the climate to switch to normal withdrawal. The above methods can greatly reduce the occurrence of diseases and improve the efficiency of feed conversion.

3. Maintain a reasonable stocking density.

The size of the stocking density directly affects the growth rate and feed conversion rate of broilers. Generally, the feeding rate in the chicken stage is 40 birds/m2. The medium chicken stage is 25 birds/m2, and the large chicken stage is 8-12 birds/m2. Make appropriate adjustments according to seasonal changes. The density should be small in summer. The density can be increased appropriately in winter.
