Ever wondered how much 1 bag of Poultry feed now costs in the regional markets? The truth is that the cost of feeding for both man and animals is on the hike everyday, the more reason why you need to stay up to date with BetaPrices daily price updates. Notwithstanding, many farms in Nigeria raise and sell their broilers in just 6 weeks because they use good feed to ensure their birds are fed very well.
Proper feeding of poultry birds will quickly enhance their growth rate and give them meaningful weight. In feeding of broilers, it’s always advisable to put on light for them in the night and ensure they eat 24 hrs 7 days every week if you want them to grow faster and sell them at 6 weeks old. You can equally make use of Super grow if you want to get the best of results.
Generally, based on experience, the best poultry feed today is Ultima. But New Hope Professional feed is the best poultry feed for broilers in Nigeria. If you cannot afford them, you may order for feed supply from other brands at cheaper rates. For layers, the best layers mash is New Hope feed. I have used it for long now. One good thing about the feed is that it ensures uniform growth of your birds.
The quantity of feed a chicken needs per day depends heavily on the age. As the day progresses, Layers or Broiler feed intake increases. For example, currently a Broiler eats approximately 1.2kg of starter from week 1 to week 4 and gains about 1.5 body weight. Then from week 5 to week 9, it’ll consume about 8.5kg of finisher feed and gains approximately about 4.5kg body weight. You can achieve better results by giving your birds pelleted feeds. The price of pellet poultry feeds and mash poultry feeds are all same irrespective of the company or brand.

Essential Feed Additives for Poultry Birds Diets
Feed additives is very important in poultry farming. It keeps the poultry birds healthy and good looking. Feed additives consist mainly of supplements that keeps the birds healthy. Additives are being added to their diets. Below are the list of poultry additives
Antioxidants ( This is important to increase the energy content. Fat or fish meal can be used)
Free flowing Agents (This is added to ensure the feeds do not pack down)
Pelleting Additives (This improves feed efficiency for some poultry species)
Feeding Enzymes ( This breaks down anti-nutritional factors, thereby increasing the potentials of many “Alternative grains”
Mold inhibitors or mycotoxin binders
Coccidiostats (This is added to feed suppliments to keep the coccidia at very low level to allow the birds to grow a resistance. It helps prevent coccidiosis.
Antibiotics (This is a very important feed additives in order to fight microbes)
Antibiotic Alternatives (This is an alternative to antibiotics. This is very good in promoting the good bacteria at higher levels than the bad ones)
How to use dry Pawpaw leaves to increase poultry broiler weight to 3kg from 6 weeks
It’s very rare to get this excellent result without a secret. Let me reveal that secret to you now. Do you know that protein increases the weight of birds? I’m not saying you should start spending money in buying expensive protein supplements like Fish meal etc. There’s something that is very common yet contains about 60% protein and increases the weight of the birds by more than 70% if properly used. That thing is dry Pawpaw leaves. Pawpaw leafs when dry, contains about 60% protein. All you need to do is to crush it into powder and mix 100 grams of it with a bag (25kg) of poultry feed, and your birds are good to go.
Yes it can be used for noilers but I wouldn’t advice anyone to use it for egg-laying noilers because it gives weight which is also accompanied with fat.
I am planning to get 2000 point of lay birds. As I progress I will like to get in contact with you. What feed Is best that I can stock for my 15-16weeks old birds ? How much does it cost.
Use Top feed. It’s best for laying birds. Secondly, if you can raise your pullets Yourself, it’s best for you also. I wouldn’t advice anyone to buy point of lay from another farm. This is because you don’t know how they managed it from that farm
I hope you do not mind, please check the weights of all the ingredients listed for your 1000Kg of feed:
Maize 390kg
PKC 165kg
Wheat offal 100kg
Fish meal 19.5kg
Bonemeal 45kg
Soya 250kg
Salt 4kg
Methionine 3kg
Lysine 3kg
Premix 2.5kg
Enzyme 0.2kg.
They should all add up to 1000 Kg, otherwise your feed is not correctly formulated. I think It is only 982.2 Kg
The other matter is regarding the pawpaw leaves, can you share the scientific data to support your claims. Thank you.
Thanks for letting us know. Actually there was an omission which we’ll review and update now.
Secondly, dry pawpaw leaves contains protein, protein gives birds much weight. It’s has been practically proven that dry pawpaw leaves increase the weight of birds.
