Initially, the
crushing machine was first switched on the grains and other feed materials were deposited or
poured into the hopper of the crushing machine after the bagged grains was lifted and tore with the aid of a razor blade. Bag was tied
through the discharging position of the machine, thereafter the sieve or
grinded feed materials was obtained
Weighing of feed materials: This was
accurately done when the transported feed materials were discharged to the
preserving house. It was equally preferred during the feed formulation and
hen
feeds were sold out
Feed formulation exercise: Feed formulation is
very important in animal production since the different types of required nutrients needed in
the body of farm animals is well
compounded in the right proportion thereby enhancing the ultimate feed
consumption of the farm animals.

General formula
for feed formulation the constant
(K) IN formulating animal feeds is given
by
The quantity of each feed ingredient x nutrients level
Total quantity
For example
Developer
Maize - 570kg
KLC
–20 (concentrate) - 175kg
Wheat
offals - 200kg
Lime
stone - 55kg
ENERGY LEVEL
Qty of each ingredient x energy level of each ingredients
1000
Maize
– 570 x 3434 =1957.4MEK
1000
KLC
20 – 175 x 2230 =390.3MEK
1000
Wheat
offfal – 200 x 1870 =374MEK
1000
Total
= 1957.4 +390.3+374=2722kcal
PROTEIN LEVEL
Qty of each ingredient x protein of each ingredients
1000
Maize
– 570 x 10=5.7cp
1000
KLC
20 – 175 x 43 =7.44cp
1000
Wheat
offfal – 200 x 17 =3.44cp

Total
= 5.7 +7.44+3.4 =16.5cp
