WHAT IS
POULTRY
RAISING?
INTRODUCTIO
N: Poultry farming is the form
of animal husbandry which
raises domesticated birds
such as chickens, ducks,
turkeys and geese to produce
meat or eggs for food.
Poultry – mostly chickens –
are farmed in great numbers.
 Chickens raised
for eggs are
known as layers,
while chickens
raised for meat are
called broilers.

 FEED
CONSUMPTION
AND GROWTH
RATE
Broiler Starter
It is the initial feed for
(0-10 days) broiler chickens and it is
given to broiler chicks
from age 0 day to 10 days
The diet must contain
maximum quality proteins
and energy sources.
Broiler Starter In starter feed, the
(0-10 days)
crude protein level is
high (21-22% CP)
and the metabolize
energy level is low
(3000 Kcal/kg ME).
Broiler Starter
(0-10 days) Crude fibber content is low
(4-5% CF) because chicks
can’t digest fibber very
well. The starter feed must
contain supplements and
essential minerals and
vitamins.
Broiler Grower
(11-25 days) The broiler grower feed
is given to broiler
chickens at an early
phase of the growth
period i.e. 11-25 days of
age. In this phase of
production,
Broiler Grower
(11-25 days) the diet must contain
balanced crude protein
(19-20% CP) and
metabolize energy (3050
Kcal/kg ME) with fairly
low fibber content (7-8%
CF).
