Summary

This video provides an informative guide on the feeding schedule for broiler chickens, focusing on optimizing their growth and reducing stress. It explains the different types of feed for various stages of the chickens' life: starter feed for the first 7 days, grower feed from 8 to 21 days, and finisher feed after 22 days. The video also emphasizes the importance of feeding timing, recommending three feedings a day, with special consideration for avoiding feeding during the hot midday to prevent stress and ensure optimal digestion. Viewers are encouraged to engage by leaving questions in the comments.

Takeaways

• 😀 Proper feeding schedules are essential for broiler chicken growth and to reduce stress.
• 😀 Broiler feed is customized according to the chicken's age: starter, grower, and finisher phases.
• 😀 Starter feed (0-7 days) is finely ground with high protein to support overall body and organ development.
• 😀 Grower feed (8-21 days) has larger granules, less protein, and higher calories to support the growth of the chicken’s body.
• 😀 Finisher feed (over 22 days) has large pellets with reduced protein and higher energy for maintaining the chicken's body and supporting meat production.
• 😀 The feeding schedule should consider the chicken's behavior, environmental temperature, and the freshness of the feed.
• 😀 Feeding three times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening—works best for broilers, but should avoid feeding during the hottest part of the day.
• 😀 Feeding during midday can cause stress as chickens may be disturbed while resting, potentially affecting their digestion and growth.
• 😀 Evening feeding ensures chickens have enough food for the night, while morning feeding ensures they have food available before the heat of the day.
• 😀 If feeding three times a day is too much, feeding twice—morning and evening—can suffice as long as the chickens have enough feed for the day.

Q & A

What are the three main phases of broiler chicken growth mentioned in the video?

The three main phases of broiler chicken growth are the Starter phase (0-7 days), Grower phase (8-21 days), and Finisher phase (over 22 days).

Why is protein content high in the Starter phase feed?

The high protein content in the Starter phase feed is specifically designed to support the physiological growth of the chicken, including both external organs (like wings, legs, and head) and internal organs (such as the heart, liver, and lungs).

What changes occur in the feed as broiler chickens transition from Starter to Grower phase?

As broiler chickens transition to the Grower phase, the feed size increases and the protein content decreases, while the calorie content rises to support the growing chicken's increasing energy needs.

How does the feed in the Finisher phase differ from the Grower phase?

In the Finisher phase, the feed consists of larger pellets with even lower protein content than the Grower phase. The focus is on providing more energy to sustain the chicken's larger body size, rather than promoting further growth.

What is the recommended feeding schedule for broiler chickens?

The recommended feeding schedule for broiler chickens is three times a day: in the late afternoon (around 4 PM), at night, and in the morning before the temperature rises.

Why is it not recommended to feed broiler chickens during midday?

Feeding during midday is discouraged because it disrupts the chickens' rest period. The act of feeding and digestion during this time can lead to stress and excessive energy use, which could negatively impact meat production.

Can the feeding schedule be adjusted, and if so, how?

Yes, the feeding schedule can be adjusted. If feeding three times a day is too demanding, the chickens can be fed only in the afternoon and morning. It's important that the food provided in the afternoon lasts until morning.

What should be considered when providing feed in the afternoon to ensure it lasts overnight?

When providing feed in the afternoon, it’s important to ensure that enough food is given so that the chickens will not run out of feed overnight and will still have enough for the morning feeding.

What is the primary reason behind adjusting the feed types according to the age of the broiler chicken?

Adjusting the feed types according to the age of the broiler chicken ensures that the nutritional needs of the chicken are met at each stage of its growth, allowing for optimal development and reduced stress.

How does the size of the feed pellets change as the chicken grows?

As the chicken grows, the size of the feed pellets increases. In the Starter phase, the pellets are finely ground, while in the Grower and Finisher phases, the pellets become larger to accommodate the chicken's bigger beak and body size.
