An egg-laying chicken requires 130 g of feed per day (provide clean water at all times).
1. One chick requires 2.2 kg of feed for 8
weeks (thus 100 chicks = 2.2 kg x 100=220 kg. Chicks should be allowed to feed
continuously and given adequate clean water at all times). If they finish their
daily rations, you can give the animals fruit and vegetables cuttings to increase
their level of vitamins, minerals and digestion in them.
2. One pullet (young chicken about to start
laying) should be fed 4.5 kg of feed for two and a half months until the first
egg is seen. It should then be put on layer diet. Supplement with vegetables,
edible plant leaves or fruits peelings in addition to the daily feed rations.
3. All ingredients used must be of high
quality and palatable. Never use rotten maize (Maozo). Chickens are very
susceptible to aflatoxins poisoning.
4. When using omena as an ingredient, ensure
it is free of sand and seashells. If You use maize germ, it should be
completely dry.
5. Feed should be thoroughly mixed to ensure
the ingredients are uniformly distributed. It is preferable to use a drum mixer
instead of a spade for mixing.
6. Note that even after giving them the
formulated feeds, chickens should be put on free range to scavenge for other
micro-nutrients not provided for in the feeds.
This is the resultant of Pearson square method
for feed formulation for the juvenile and table size catfish you requested for.
Note: this formulation has 40% Crude protein for juvenile feed formulation for a 100kg bag of catfish feed; Maize-34.43kg, wheat offer- 8.61kg, bloodmeal-23.60kg, fishmeal-18.37kg, full fat soya-7.87kg, GNC-2.62kg, methionine-0.25kg, fish premix-0.5kg, salt-1kg,bonemeal-0.5kg, granded vitamin c-0.25kg, pork fat-0.5kg, palm oil-1kg all equal to 100kg bag of feed.
Note: this formulation has 35.72% Crude protein
for table size feed formulation for a 100kg bag of catfish feed; Maize-40.05kg, wheat offer-
10.00kg, bloodmeal-20.44kg, fishmeal-15.91kg,
full fat soya-6.81kg, GNC-2.27kg, methionine-0.25kg, fish premix-0.5kg, salt-0.52kg,bonemeal-0.5kg, grinded
vitamin c-0.25kg, pork fat-0.5kg, palm
oil-1.5kg all equal to 100kg bag of feed.
