4. Finisher- given to finishing broiler 5. Pullet Developer – Contains 14 % CP

6. Layer Mash- should contain 17-18 % CP

FEEDING GUIDE FOR THE GENERAL FLOCK

Broiler and layers require a different kind of feeds as they grow.

The table below shows the type of ration requirements of birds.

Age (days) Broiler (feed) Age Layer (feed)

1 to 7 Booster 1-10 days Booster

8 to 14 Starter 11 days- 6 wks. Starter

15 to 21 Starter 6-10 wks. Grower

22 to 28 Grower 11-16 wks. Developer

29 to 35 Grower/Finisher 1 week from 1st

Drop of egg up to

5% of egg

production.

Pre-laying

36 to 42 Finisher

5% of egg

production

Laying feed

Feeds given during the early stages of growth have higher protein content

(22 to 24 percent) than those given during the later stages of growth (19 to 20 percent).

To find out how much corn is needed to maintain a hen for one year,

multiply the weight of the hen by 8 and add 11.35 kilos. The main purpose

of feeding laying hens is to have as many eggs as possible. The layer should

consume an average of 110 grams. of feed in a day during the laying stage to

supply her daily maintenance and laying needs which can be given twice (6

am and 2 pm).

One of the factors that have improved the development of the

poultry industry in our country is the availability of efficient feeds and

effective feeding management. Correct practices in feeding chicken start

during their first day in the brooding house. An open type feeding trough or

newspaper sheets should be used during the first few days of the chicks.

7

Feeds are spread over several layers of newspaper sheets. These newspaper

sheets must be changed every day until the chicks are big and strong

enough to use the ordinary feeding trough.

Issues to consider in feeding programs include:

* Adequate feed supplies are needed to maintain animals throughout the crises and until pastures can be grazed, in a sustainable manner, the next

spring * The cost of purchase and transportation at the time of emergency may be

prohibitive * Storage facilities are required * Winter conditions may limit the ability to deliver feed

* Feeds transported into the area may introduce pests and disease * The process requires good supervision and monitoring

Vulnerable groups need to be identified and processes put in place to

ensure that feeds supplies are not diverted to wealthier families or into other

markets.

Feedstuffs

The ration is the amount of feed consumed by an individual bird a day. The ration should be formulated based on its purpose, otherwise, there will be a waste, and the growth and development of the bird will be affected. The

ration should also be balanced to furnish the essential nutrients proportions that will properly feed a flock.

A good ration should meet the following requirements: 1. It should be formulated for the purpose for which the birds are being fed.

2. It must be attractive and palatable. 3. Variety in the ration increases the chance of supplying all the nutrient needs of the birds.

4. The cost of ration should be reasonable. Feeding Laying-Hens (backyard, semi-commercial, commercial)

1. Feed a balanced ration to supply proper nutrients for egg production. 2. Use at least three kinds of grains, whenever possible, to constitute 75 to

80% of the ration. Examples are rice, corn, sorghum.

8

3. Use at least one animal protein supplement to form 5 to 10% of the ration. Examples are fish meal, shrimp meal, meat scraps.

4. Use one or more plant protein supplement to constitute 5 to 10% of the ration. Example: ipil-ipil leaf meal, soybean oil meal, copra meal, and mongo

bean meal.

5. Use a mixture of 50 – 50 animal and plant proteins to form 15% of the

total ration.

6. Use at least one legume roughage, given as silage (green feed), free choice

(hens are at liberty to choose what they like). Examples are tapilan leaves,

centrosema vines, tropical kudzu vines, peanut vines, mongo vines, soybean

vines.

9

7. Shell, free choice – provides the bulk of calcium required for egg-shell

formation. Examples are oyster shells and other seashells.

8. Use one- half a kilo of native salt for every 45 kilos of the total ration.

9. Provide fresh, clean drinking water at all times.

Principles of Feeding The purpose of feeding is to supply the nutrients needed for maintenance, growth, fattening, and egg production. Maintenance

➢ The most important purpose of feeding is to maintain life. ➢ Maintenance requires more feed than what is needed for egg

production, growth, and fattening combined. ➢ Feeds rich in carbohydrate and fat supply most of the energy needed

for the heart to beat, for breathing, digestion, and other processes.

➢ A 2.2 kilo hen requires 32 liters of corn or its equivalent in one year. ➢ To find out how much corn is needed to maintain a hen for one year,

multiply the weight of the hen by 8 and add 11.35 kilos. Egg Production

The main purpose of feeding laying hens is to make them lay as many eggs as possible.

➢ Excluding the amount of feed needed for maintenance, one kilogram

of feed is needed to produce 15.4 eggs. For example, a 2.2 kilo hen producing 200 eggs a year. (200 15.4=13) needs 28 kilos for

10

maintenance and another 13 kilos for the eggs, for a total requirement of 41 kilos (28+13).

➢ Some of the feeds consumed by hens are used to produce fat, and some hens fatten easily. Such hens will not be good layers.

Fattening

➢ Some of the feeds consumed by hens are used to produce fat, and

some hens fatten easily. Such hens will not be good layers. ➢ After the laying is over, the hens put on some fat to act as a reserve

for her next egg-laying period.

➢ Feeds do not have the same value in producing eggs because they differ in: a. the number of nutrients (protein, carbohydrate, fat,

minerals, vitamins, water) they contain b. palatability. If hens do not eat or eat only a little, the feed has no or little value to the hens.

Importance of 5’s in the field of Poultry Production

5S is a process that delivers outstanding results in the areas of quality,

productivity, cost, efficiency, and safety. 5S also helps in boosting staff morale and improving the business or company’s image. The process involves

cleaning away the workplace to get rid of clutter and unused items, tools, and machinery, and putting everything important in the right place. However, this is not a one-time process. The constant cleaning and the process of putting

stuff in the right place need to be consistently maintained so that the main goal of 5S, which is to achieve higher goals of work improvement, can be

achieved. Principles of 5S

The five main principles of 5S are Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. With the implementation of these five principles, any kind of wastage,

inefficiency, and unsafe conditions are brought to knowledge, which can then be dealt with.

➢ Sort – This includes identifying all the necessary items in the

workplace, and removing all the unnecessary ones.

➢ Set in order – Once the necessary items are identified, they are labeled, color-coded, and well organized in the right places.

➢ Shine – This process involves the cleaning up of the workplace thoroughly.

➢ Standardize – This step makes sure that all the team members are

trained on the above three steps and know how to perform them with consistency.

➢ Sustain – Here, a monitoring system is set up to observe that organized

and standardized work is being continually maintained.
