FORMULATING FOR KIENYEJI FEEDS
■MAKING A 70KG CHICK MASH (1-4WEEKS).
Growing chicks require feed with Digestible Crude Protein (DCP) of between 18 to 20 percent.
The following formulation can be used to make a 70 kg bag of Kienyeji/improved chick mash:
INGREDIENTS
31.5kg of whole maize
9.1kg of wheat bran
7.0kg of wheat pollard
16.8kg of sunflower (or 16.8 kg of linseed)
1.5kg of fishmeal
1.75 kg of lime
30g of salt
20g of premix
Amino acids
70g of tryptophan
3.0g of lysine
10g of methionine
70g of Threonine
50g of enzymes
60g of coccidiostat
50g of toxin binder
■MAKING A 70KG GROWERS MASH (4-8WEEKS).
Growers (pullets or young layers) should be provided with feed having a protein content of
between 16 and 18 percent. Such feed makes the young layers to grow fast in preparation for egg
laying:
10kg of whole maize
17kg of maize germ
13kg of wheat pollard
10kg of wheat bran
6kg of cottonseed cake
5kg of sunflower cake
3.4kg of soya meal
2.07kg of lime
700g of bone meal
3kg of fishmeal
Additives: 14g of salt, 1g of coccidiostat, 18g of Pre-mix, 1g of zinc bacitracin, 7g of mycotoxin
binder.
■MAKING A 70KG LAYERS MASH (8WEEKS & ABOVE)
34kg of whole maize
12kg of Soya
8kg of fishmeal
10kg of maize bran, rice germ or Wheat Bran
6kg of lime
Amino acids
175g premix
70g lysine
35g methionine
70g Threonine
35g tryptophan
50g toxin binder
Layer feed should contain a Digestible Crude Protein (DCP) content of between 16-18 percent.
The feed should contain calcium (lime) for the formation of eggshells (laying hens that do not
get enough calcium will use the calcium stored in their own born tissue to produce eggshells).
Layer feed should be introduced at 18 weeks.
