*6 ways you can improve your Broiler Performance*
Improving broiler performance is ensuring that their genetic growth potential is achieved by providing optimal environmental conditions. Any deviation from optimal conditions can result in decreased performance.
What are the conditions needed to improve broilers Performance?
The conditions needed to improve broiler performance include good feed, lighting, Litter quality, Airflow, Water, Space, and Sanitation (bio)security, which are collectively known as 'FLAWS'.
Feed
Light
Airflow
Water
Space
The acronym 'FLAWS' actually serves as a detailed approach to best management practices, not only during brooding but also throughout the flock's life.
So, in this post, I am going to look at how each factor affects improving broiler performance
1. *Feed Quality*
A crucial aspect in raising broilers or chickens, in general, is Feeding- feeding accounts for the major cost of production, and good nutrition is reflected in the bird's performance and its products.
Feeding is more than just giving the birds feed, the feed should be a balanced diets if you want them to do well. Some producers mix complete feeds with cheaper scratch grains, but doing so dilutes the nutrients the chickens receive, and nutrient deficiencies can occur.
Nutrient deficiencies can adversely affect the overall performance of your broilers.
Moreover, having a well-balanced diet is never enough, how do we ensure feed efficiency to maximize profitability? You may have a well-balanced formulated feed yet your bird can not utilize it for growth, it may be due to its texture, feed ingredients, or form of storage, etc. all these can affect the efficiency of the feed.
How do we improve broiler feed efficiency for optimal performance?
Here are three tips to ensure broilers take the most out of the feed they are given on any farm.
*Avoid hot spot in feed silos
Molds destroy valuable nutrients and produce mycotoxins. Moldy feed is not only unpalatable but also toxic as well. less frequently, feed is delivered into silos that are never cleaned...To continue, Click the link below to continue learning👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
