1.Reduce the cost of raising chickens
Chicken coops are generally established once can be used in an infinite cycle, and there are costs such as vaccination and other expenses are also timed. Only the feed is a daily expense and increases every month. The cost of feed accounts for more than half of the overall cost costs. In the process of breeding, reducing costs does not mean feeding less, but means reducing the waste of feed. It does not mean that eating more is eating well, the growth of chicks need reasonable and appropriate feed feeding. The quality of feed to keep up with the maximum effect, in order to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
2.chicken feed selection
In the breeding can not be greedy for cheap, the feed is good or bad will directly affect the health of chicks. Some farmers are greedy for cheap, choose inexpensive feed, the nutritional composition of these feeds are very poor taste, no chicks need the nutrition, chicks may also be anorexia because of the taste problem. The surface looks cheap, reduce costs, the actual loss is not worth it. The ultimate goal of breeding is to raise quality chickens and then make a profit. If only the cost is low, but no income. That is a loss.

3.the requirements of chicken growth feed
As the growth period changes, the requirements for feed are also different. For example, in the pup era, a large amount of supplemental protein is needed, while after adulthood, the protein content contained in the feed should be gradually reduced. You can’t keep the same kind of feed without changing. Different types of feed should be chosen for different periods, and the quantity should be changed accordingly. When hens are laying eggs, they can be fed appropriately to supplement their nutrition. In summer, when it is hot and humid, you can reduce the amount of feed and increase the frequency of feeding. This effectively increases the appetite and feed intake of the chickens.

4.the chicken nutrition to strengthen
Chickens are small in size and have poor resistance. Easy to get sick, so in the daily to strengthen nutrition, to improve the resistance of chicks. Chicken nutrition mainly comes from chicken feed, so the quality of the feed, and the elements contained in it should be paid extra attention. Check the change of feed from time to time, especially in the hot season, the environment is humid, the feed is easy to rot and moldy, chickens eat such food is easy to damage the liver, and in serious cases will also be dead.
5.chick raw material selection
Some farmers like to configure their own feed. This point should be noted, want to deploy high-quality feed first of all, the choice of raw materials to be careful, the type of feed can not be a single to more than one amount, not to choose the ingredients of the opposite, to fully meet the chick’s nutrition, but also in strict accordance with the proportion, not arbitrarily modulated.
