Feeding Ration & Management
To maintain healthy birds, keep fresh feeds available at all
times.
Limit the amount of feed in feeders to the extent necessary
to avoid waste.
Feed the birds with sufficient food no more no less to ensure
profitability.
Feeding Ration & Management cont’n…
Keep the feeds in a closed plastic container away from rats,
birds and other animals.
Always record all activities.
Keep a close watch on birds weight and their feed
consumption. A drop in food intake usually is the first
indication of trouble.
