    Here are the key considerations a broiler investor should keep in mind: 1. Space requirements - Sufficient space must be provided based on the age and size of the broilers. Minimum space requirements are provided for day-old chicks up to market age. 2. Feeding space - Adequate linear inches of feeder space must be provided based on the age of the broilers to prevent overcrowding at the feed troughs. 3. Watering space - Sufficient waterer space similarly needs to be allocated based on broiler age/size to avoid birds not having access to water. 4. Feed types - Broilers require starter, grower and finisher feeds tailored to their nutrient

    Types of Feeds

    Unlocking of Difficulties
     Broiler- chicken intended for meat purposes
     Feed Conversion Ratio- the amount of feed consumed
    in order to produce a kilo of meat.
     Starter Feed – A starter feed is given to 10 to 20 kgs.
    weaners until the pigs are about three months old and
    weigh 30 to 35 kgs
     Swine- collective term used to denote hog or pig
     Temperature- refers to the degree of hotness and
    coldness
    Acronyms

    CP – Crude Protein


    Kca/j – Kilo Calories
    DE – Digestive Energy
    FCR -Feed Conversion Ration
    ADG- Average Daily Gain
    Group Activity
    Three Types of Feeds
    1. Starter Feed
     A starter feed is given to 10 to 20 kgs.
    weaners until the pigs are about three months
    old and weigh 30 to 35 kgs.
     A starter feed contains 18 percent crude
    protein (CP) and 3,250 kilocalories (Kca/j) of
    digestible energy (DE).
    Three Types of Feeds

    1. Grower Feed
     Next to starter feed is the grower feed.
     This is given until the pigs reach a weight of 60
    kgs. Grower ration contains 16 percent CP and
    3,200 Kcal DE.
    Three Types of Feeds

    3. Finisher Feed
    At 60 kgs, the pigs‘ ration is shifted to
    finisher feed. It is given to finisher pig up
    to 80 to 90 kgs ready for the market.
    The ration contains 14 percent CP with
    3,200 Kcal DE.
    Feeding Methods
    The growth performance of the pigs is not only
    affected by the quantity and quality of feed given
    but also by the methods of feeding.
    The three basic feeding methods for finishers are
    restricted feeding, ad libitum, and combination of
    ad libitum and restricted.
    The level of feeding can vary from restricted
    feeding (about 80% satisfaction) to ad libutum
    level (100% satisfaction).
    Feeding Methods

    1. Restricted Feeding.

    In restricted feeding, the amount of feed


    given is controlled or limited to a certain
    amount just to satisfy the appetite of the
    pig.
    Feeding Methods
    2. Ad Libitum Feeding
    Ad libitum feeding is feeding without
    restrictions and feed is made available
    anytime.
     This feeding method should be practiced if
    pigs finished have high growth potentials and
    they are in good health.
    Feeding Methods
    3. Combination of Ad Libitum and
    Restricted Feeding
     Pigsare fed ad libitum until they reach the weight of
    50 kgs. and fed restricted until they are marketed.
     With this feeding method, the growth potential of
    the animal can be maximized during its first 50 kgs.
    of growth.
     Restriction is practiced to reduce backfat thickness
    with a corresponding increase in lean cut yield.
