How much should I feed my broiler chickens?

Feeding broilers (meat chickens) involves providing them with a sufficient amount of high-quality feed to support their rapid growth and meat production. Here's a general guideline for feeding broiler chickens, but it's always important to follow the recommendations provided by your local agricultural extension service or the feed manufacturer based on the specific breed and conditions:

Starter Feed (0-3 weeks):

- Feeding amount per chick: Approximately 20-30 grams per day.

- Feeding frequency: Offer fresh feed regularly throughout the day to ensure continuous access.

Grower Feed (4-6 weeks):

- Feeding amount per chick: Around 50-80 grams per day.

- Feeding frequency: Gradually transition from feeding multiple times a day to once or twice daily as the chicks grow.

Finisher Feed (7 weeks until slaughter):

- Feeding amount per chick: Approximately 100-150 grams per day.

- Feeding frequency: Continue offering feed once or twice daily, ensuring that fresh feed is available throughout the day.

Remember to always have fresh and clean water available for your broiler chickens at all times, as water is equally important for their growth and well-being. Adjust the feeding amounts based on the growth rate and body condition of your chickens, avoiding overfeeding or underfeeding. Proper feeding practices contribute to optimal growth, meat quality, and overall health of your broiler chickens.
