INFORMATION SHEET 3.3-1
Kinds and Characteristics of Feed Materials according to Philippine National

Standards
Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information sheet, you MUST be able to:
 Identify the Principles of Feeding

 Identify Essential Nutrients for Feeds
 Identify the Responsibilities of a Farm Operator in Feed and Nutrition
 Apply the Principles of Feeding
 Choose Essential Nutrients for Feeds
 Perform the Responsibilities of a Farm Operator in Feed and Nutrition
Farm animals require a good diet for efficient production of the intended products,
growth, and maintenance. Organic Farming systems aim at growing and producing
most of the animal feeds on the farm to enable sustainable production and minimize
the risk of contamination of these feeds by chemicals that may be in use at other
sources where such feeds may be procured. Farm production of animal feeds also
promotes the achieving of the basic objective of organic farming which is the use of low
external inputs. The daily ratio for all farm animals should contain an average of 70%
carbohydrates, 25% proteins, and 5% vitamins, minerals, and oils.
The primary objective of feeding poultry is to convert low-quality feeds like cereal
grains, oilcake, and other by-products of agriculture and industry into high-quality
food like egg and meat.
Principles of Feeding Poultry
1. Birds have no lips and teeth and hence cannot chew the feeds therefore, ration
must have chiefly concentrates (grains, oil cake, by-products).
2. Birds have a simple stomach; hence requirements are more precise.
3. Birds have a higher rate of metabolism than other farm animals therefore different
feed for different classes of birds is required as per recommended standards.
4. They are fed in groups.
5. Birds have no sweat glands to cool down their body hence their respiration, pulse
rate, and body temperature are relatively higher. Consequently, their metabolic
rate is higher. Accordingly, nutritional adjustments are needed.
6. Feed must be free from Aflatoxins.
7. Clean, fresh, and cool water must be made available at all times.
8. Birds are non-ruminants and hence feed must contain no more than 6 to 7
percent of crude fiber.
9. Birds are reared for a different purpose (Meat, egg, etc.), and hence according to
purpose, age, breed, size, and system of rearing the requirements must be
determined with a definite ratio of protein and energy.

No.
Christina R. Flores
10. Feed must have all essential nutrients in balanced form.
Essential Nutrients for Feed Materials
Animals eat to acquire the energy and building materials that they need to live and
grow. Animals use energy to perform normal body functions such as breathing,
walking, eating, digesting, and maintaining body temperature. Nutrients provide
poultry with the energy and material needed for the development of bone, flesh,
feathers, and eggs.
The feed has six major components:

 Water
 Carbohydrates
 Fats
 Proteins
 Minerals
 Vitamins
Each of these components is important in providing poultry with the nutrients they
need, and a deficit of even one can have serious health consequences for poultry.
Water
Water is often overlooked, but it is one of the most important nutrients. An
animal can live without food longer than it can live without water. In a laying flock,
a shortage of water for just a few hours can result in reduced egg production, so
clean water should be available at all times. If you do not use automatic waterers,
fill the drinkers twice a day. If the drinkers are filled only in the morning, birds can
run out of water by midday. A laying hen drinks about 25% of her daily water
intake during the last two hours of daylight.
Water plays an important role in the body of an animal. Water softens feed and
carries it through the digestive tract. As a component of blood (90% of blood
content), water carries nutrients from the digestive tract to cells and carries away
waste products. Water also helps cool the bird through evaporation. (Birds do not
have sweat glands, so their heat loss occurs in the air sacs and lungs through rapid
respiration.)
A baby chick is composed of about 80% water. Even though this percentage
decreases as a bird gets older, the need for water remains. There is no precise
quantity requirement for water because there are several factors that affect the
amount of water a bird needs: age, body condition, diet, temperature, water quality,
and humidity. As a rule of thumb, poultry consumes twice as much water as feed.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates (compounds with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) are an energy

source for animals and make up the largest portion of a poultry diet. Carbohydrates

No.

Christina R. Flores
are typically eaten in the form of starch, sugar, cellulose, and other nonstarch
compounds. Poultry typically do not digest cellulose and the nonstarch compounds,
referred to as crude fiber, well. However, poultry can use most starches and sugars
well. Important sources of carbohydrates in poultry diets include corn, wheat,
barley, and other grains.
Fats/Lipids
Fats have two and one-quarter times the calories of carbohydrates by weight.
Fat provides nine calories of energy per gram, while carbohydrates provide only
four. At room temperature, saturated fats are solids and unsaturated fats are
liquid. Examples of saturated fats that can be used in poultry diets include tallow,
lard, poultry fat, and choice white grease. Examples of usable unsaturated fats
include corn oil, soy oil, and canola oil. Common sources of supplemental fat in
commercially produced poultry feeds include animal fat, poultry fat, and yellow
grease. The high cost of vegetable oils makes including these fats in poultry diets
uneconomical. Fats are composed of smaller compounds called fatty acids. Fatty
acids are responsible for cell-membrane integrity and hormone synthesis. Although
there are many different fatty acids, poultry has a specific requirement for one—
linoleic acid—so it must be included in the diet. Linoleic acid is considered an
essential fatty acid because poultry cannot generate it from other nutrients (for
example, by converting one fatty acid to another).
Fats/Lipids must be present in the diet for poultry to absorb the fat-soluble
vitamins A, D, E, and K. In addition to its role in nutrition, fat is added to feed to
reduce grain dust. Fat addition also improves the palatability of feed (that is, makes
feed more appetizing).
Fats, including those incorporated in feed, tend to go bad or become rancid.

This is a year-round problem, but the risk of feed going rancid is even greater in the
summer. To prevent feed from going rancid, antioxidants are added to poultry diets
containing added fat. A common antioxidant listed on feed labels is ethoxyquin.
Proteins
Proteins are complex compounds made up of smaller units called amino acids.
After a bird consumes protein, the digestive process breaks down the protein into
amino acids. The amino acids are then absorbed by the blood and transported to
cells that convert the individual amino acids into the specific proteins required by
the animal. Proteins are used in the construction of body tissues such as muscles,
nerves, cartilage, skin, feathers, beak, and so on. Egg white is also high in protein.
Amino acids are typically divided into two categories: essential and
nonessential. Essential amino acids are those that cannot be made in adequate
amounts to meet the needs of the animal. Nonessential amino acids are those that
the body can generate in sufficient quantities as long as appropriate starting
material is available. There are 22 amino acids commonly found in feed ingredients.

No.
Christina R. Flores
Of these, 11 are essential and must be supplied in the feed. Poultry diets typically
contain a variety of feedstuffs because no single ingredient can supply all the
necessary amino acids at the right levels.
Most feed tags indicate only the percentage of crude protein in a given feed.
This information does not tell you about the quality of the protein used. Protein
quality is based on the presence of essential amino acids. For poultry, methionine
and lysine are the two most critical amino acids. Deficiencies of either of these will
lead to a significant drop in productivity and the health of the flock. Commercial
poultry diets typically contain methionine and lysine supplements. Because of these
supplements, the feed can contain less total protein; without supplements, the feed
would have to contain excessive amounts of the other amino acids to meet the
methionine and lysine requirements. The main sources of protein in poultry diets
are plant proteins such as soybean meal, canola meal, corn gluten meal, and so on.
Animal proteins used include fishmeal and meat and bone meal. Fishmeal can be
used only in limited quantities (less than 5% of the total composition of the diet) or
it will give poultry meat and eggs a fishy flavor.
Minerals
Minerals play a role in bone formation, but minerals are also needed for several
other important functions, including the formation of blood cells, blood clotting,
enzyme activation, energy metabolism, and for proper muscle function.
Minerals are typically classified as macro- or microminerals. Poultry requires

higher levels of macrominerals and lower levels of micro minerals in their diets. The
microminerals include copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc.
Although poultry has lower requirements for microminerals, these minerals play
essential roles in the body's metabolism. Iodine, for example, is required to produce
thyroid hormones that regulate energy metabolism. Similarly, zinc is involved in
many enzyme-based reactions in the body, and iron aids oxygen transportation
within the body.
The macrominerals include calcium, phosphorus, chlorine, magnesium,

potassium, and sodium. Many people are familiar with calcium's role in proper
bone formation and eggshell quality, but calcium's important role in blood-clot
formation and muscle contraction is less well known. Phosphorus is important in
bone development, and it is part of cell membranes and is required for many
metabolic functions. Chlorine is important in the formation of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach and thus plays a role in digestion. Sodium and potassium are
electrolytes important for metabolic, muscle, and nerve functions. Magnesium also
assists with metabolic and muscle functions.
Grains are low in minerals, so mineral supplements are added to commercial

poultry feeds. Limestone or shells are common sources of calcium. Dicalcium
phosphate is a common source of phosphorus and calcium. The microminerals are
usually supplied in a mineral premix.

No.
Christina R. Flores
Vitamins
Vitamins are a group of organic compounds that poultry requires in small

quantities. Despite the low requirement levels, vitamins are essential for normal
body functions, growth, and reproduction. A deficiency of one or more vitamins can
lead to several diseases.
Vitamins are divided into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble. The
fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K. Vitamin A is required for normal growth
and development of epithelial tissue (skin and the linings of the digestive,
reproductive, and respiratory tracts) and reproduction. Vitamin D3 is required for
normal growth, bone development, and eggshell formation. Vitamin K is essential
for blood-clot formation.
Some vitamins are produced by microorganisms in the digestive tract. Vitamin

D can be produced when sunlight hits the bird's skin. Other vitamins must be
supplied because they are water-soluble vitamins which include Vitamins C and B.
The B vitamins include vitamin B12, biotin, folacin, niacin, pantothenic acid,
pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamin. The B vitamins are involved in many metabolic
functions, including energy metabolism. Poultry can make vitamin C, so there is no
dietary requirement established for this vitamin. Vitamin C supplementation,
however, is useful when birds are stressed.
Many essential vitamins are partially supplied by feed ingredients such as

alfalfa meal and distillers' dried solubles. A vitamin premix is typically used to
compensate for the fluctuating levels of vitamins found naturally in food and to
assure adequate levels of all vitamins.
If farm animals are to be productive (milk, eggs, meat, etc.), they must get suitable
food in sufficient quantities. If the fodder production of one’s farm is limited (which
usually is the case), it might be economically valid to keep fewer animals but supply
them with sufficient food.
The appropriate quantity and the mix of feed items will of course depend on the
type of animal, but also its main use (e.g., chicken for meat or egg production, cattle for
milk, meat or draft, etc.).
A balanced diet will keep an animal healthy and productive. Whether or not a farm
animal receives the appropriate amount and kind of fodder is usually seen by the shine
of its hair or feathers.
If concentrates or supplements are used (e.g., agricultural by-products and wastes),

they should not contain growth promoters and other synthetic substances. Instead of
buying expensive concentrates, there are a variety of leguminous plants rich in protein
that can be grown on the farm as a cover crop, hedges, or trees. If mineral content in the
available fodder is not sufficient to satisfy the animal’s requirements, mineral salt bricks

No.
Christina R. Flores
or similar feed supplements can be used as long as they do not contain synthetic
additives.
Responsibilities of a Farm Operator in Feed and Nutrition
The farm operator must:

 Ensure that animals are provided with an optimum level of nutrition at all times,
as required for their respective functions and well-being.
 Not use banned chemicals, feed additives, supplements, and any form of
medication in the diet of the animals, including those disallowed by the authorities
or importing countries.
 Strictly follow instructions of medication, paying special attention to the
withdrawal period of each specific drug being administered before the animals are
sent to market.
 Provide animals only with rations or feeding materials suited for specific animal
species.
 Provide animals with commercial feed that has been officially registered with the
Animal Feeds Standardization Division (AFSD) of the Bureau of Animal Industry
(BAI)
 Use ingredients from certified and traceable suppliers only. Record of purchase
should be kept in the case of farm-mixed feed formulation.
 Provide the animals with adequate, safe, and clean feed.
 Provide animals with adequate and continuous access to clean and safe water.
 Keep the feed mixing equipment clean at all times and have a regular preventive
maintenance schedule.
 Provide a daily feeding schedule or routine.
 Procurement documents of feed should be kept properly to include:
 supplier or source of feed and its registration number;
 type of feed and supplements;
 quantity;
 declaration of ingredients;
 document of feed analysis;
 date of delivery;

Definition of Terms
Feed is any single or multiple materials, whether processed, semi-processed, or

raw, which are intended to be fed directly to domesticated animals to meet the nutrient
requirements to maintain life, and promote growth, production and reproduction without
any additional substance except water.
Feed Additive refers to an ingredient or combination of ingredients that are added

to the basic mixed feed to fulfill a specific need which includes but is not limited to,
acidifiers, antioxidants, aromatics, deodorizing agents, flavor enhancers, mold inhibitors,
pellet binders, preservatives, sweeteners, toxin binders, etc. It is usually used in micro
quantities and requires careful handling and mixing. A feed additive may have no
nutritive value but is added to the feed to improve its quality and efficacy.
Feed Ingredient is a part or constituent of any combination or mixture making up

a feed, whether or not it has a nutritional value in the animal’s diet, including feed
supplements and additives. Ingredients are of plant, animal, or aquatic origin, or other
organic or inorganic substances.
Feed Supplement refers to a feed ingredient or mixture of feed ingredients

intended to supply the deficiencies in a ration or improve the nutritive balance or
performance of the total mixture. For purposes of this standard, the following, such as
but not limited to amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals are considered feed
supplements.
Forms of Feeds
 MASH - (physical form) a mixture of feed ingredients in meal form.
 CRUMBLE- is a form of feed that is made from the crushed pellet.
 PELLET – (physical form) feed formed by compacting through mechanical means
Ration Formulation
Ration formulation for poultry is influenced by the very specific amino acid,
mineral, and vitamin requirements and the limited availability of appropriate feedstuffs
to meet these. Standard requirements for poultry nutrition are set out in Leeson and
summers (1991) and Bolton and Blair (1974).

No.
Christina R. Flores
• Proper nutrition is important to keep the birds healthy and productive.
• Let the bird loose in the range to allow them access to natural feeds like worms,
grains, seeds, insects, greens, and other sources.
• Give supplement feeds to the birds during summer months when feeds in the
range are scarce, and also during inclement weather.
• Practice supplementation with high-energy feedstuff. This will give the chickens
the energy source that they rarely find in the field.
• The supplement feedstuff can be made available in the morning before the birds
are allowed to free range, and in the afternoon to develop their homing instinct.
• Provide clean and fresh water to the birds every day.
• Bamboo poles can be split in half and can be used as feeders and waterers.
• Commercially available feeders and waterers can also be adopted. Keep in mind
the proper design and size of feeders to minimize feed wastage.
Note: The feed that should be used is also organically grown and non-GMO.
The major ingredients in poultry diets provide the protein and energy required
for poultry to maintain health, grow, and produce eggs. Consider that the essence of
being organic is not only harmless what nature has given to you but also mitigate waste
as much as you can and limit any resource or capital-intensive inputs.

1. Corn Gluten Feed (CP 18 to 20%) is a combination of corn gluten and corn bran
mixed in such a proportion as to contain twenty-five percent protein. It is a good source
of carbohydrates.
2. Soybean Oil Meal. There are two types of soybean oil meal: high protein (46 % CP)
and low protein (43% CP). This is the only plant protein source that can replace animal
protein in the diet with almost the same protein quality.
3. Ipil-ipil Leaf Meal contains twenty-one (21%) proteins but is fed mostly for its
vitamin A and yellow pigmenting properties.
4. Copra Meal (20% CP) is the byproduct of coconut meat after the oil has been
extracted. It contains about twenty percent protein. It is the most common and cheapest
source of plant protein.
5. Fish Meal (58 to 60 % CP) is a good source of high-quality protein. It contains about
sixty to sixty-five percent protein. It also contains an adequate amount of carbohydrates
and fats.
6. Shrimp Meal when dried and ground is a good source of protein. It contains about
fifty-six percent crude protein but is low in energy. It may be used as a substitute for a
fish meal. Two major parts of shrimp are used in making shrimp meals, the shell (39%
CP) and the head (46% CP).
7. Meat and Bone Meal (50% CP) are by-products and trimmings of canning and meat
processing industries.

Minerals
There are 13 minerals required by chicken which are grouped into macro and micro
minerals.
 The macro minerals include calcium, phosphorous, chlorine, potassium,
manganese, copper, zinc, iodine, and selenium.
 Cobalt, which is found in Vitamin B, is also essential for healthy red blood
corpuscles.
 Calcium and phosphorous are needed for skeletal growth and bone and teeth
development found in the fluids and soft tissues of the body.
 Salt improves the appetite, promotes growth, and is essential to hydrochloric acid
formation in the stomach.
 Zinc protects the skin from the disease called mange.
 Iron and copper are necessary for the formation of hemoglobin in the red blood
cells to prevent nutritional anemia.
All these minerals are found in various feedstuff like farm-produced feeds, protein
concentrates, and sea products.

No.
Christina R. Flores
Vitamins
These are organic substances important to the health and proper functioning of the
animals. They are needed in small amounts. Vitamins are classified either as fat–soluble,
which contains A, D, E, and K, or water-soluble which consists of the Vitamin B complex
and Vitamin C.

Feed Chicken
The chicken will dig up part of their diet-insects, slugs and snails, sand and seeds –
but you must also provide them with chicken feed. Chickens need a quality balanced
diet that is 16 to 18% of crude protein and made specifically for their needs.
Special poultry waterers ensure that chickens always have access to fresh water.
Chickens also appreciate human interaction. This is going to sound weird but they
become your friends.
Layer Feeds and Protein

Chickens require protein to produce feathers and eggs as well as to grow. The
amount of protein in their diet is important and you will see on the ingredients on the
back of bags of commercial feeds the percentage of protein that they contain. It is higher
in Growers Pellets for example to enable chickens to grow and produce feathers. You will
find that chickens stop laying eggs when molt (lose their feathers and regrow new) as
they are diverting protein from egg production to feather production. During the molt,
you can scatter a handful of cat kibble in the run which helps them to top with protein.
Do not use dog food as most of the protein is derived from cereals.
Commercial chicken feeds have been researched and contain the correct balance of
minerals and nutrients required by chickens as well as sufficient protein and calcium

No.
Christina R. Flores
which is essential for egg shell production. Layers pellets for example are around 16%
protein. Wheat is about 10% protein and lacks essential vitamins that are required by
chickens.
Formulated feeds come as pellets or mash and should be fed ad-lib so hens can
take what they want as they need it. This type of feed must be kept dry or it will soon
spoil. The feeder and rain hat shown above is the only sort we have found that really
does keep the feed dry. Most have a hole in the top of the hat for a handle or for hanging
and this let’s water in. A feeder rain hat similar to this one can be bought from Omlet.
Mixed Corn
Mixed corn is usually 80 to 90% wheat and 10 to 20% maize. It is useful as a
scratch feed, it keeps hens active, scratching around looking for it but should only be
considered a treat. A handful per hen thrown late afternoon helps them to have a full
crop overnight.
The maize (yellow in color) is very fattening but can be useful during very cold
weather to help your hens keep warm- we increase my girls’ ration corn when it is cold
over the winter, after they have finished mounting (they need lots of protein during the
moult) since they are not laying eggs and need a little extra fat to burn in order to keep
warm.
Household Scraps
Feeding household scraps is no longer allowed according to DEFRA and can be a bit
hit and miss anyway. You do not really know what a hen is getting and the diet is very
unbalanced. It is for this reason that scraps used to be mixed into a mash by using
layers mash and water. The mixture should be a sort of crumbly mix, not too wet but
not too dry. Feeding scraps should be limited to at most 25% of a hen’s diet so as not to
tip the balance too far one way or another.
Greens
Ample green stuff should be provided for your hens. Grass cuttings, weeds and
offcuts from cabbages, cauliflowers and other greens can be provided at minimal cost.
Lettuce should be fed in moderation because it has very little nutritional (very little
protein and energy/calories) and avocado pear is poisonous to hens but most other
greens that come from the kitchen will be appreciated by your girls.
If you have an area in which you can grow cabbages in your garden, it may be
worthwhile thinking about growing a row for the winter. Cabbages will sit there in the
cold, perfectly preserved until picked. You will need to keep them covered with fleece
when there are cabbage white butterflies around but do not worry if they are a little
eaten, the chooks would remind.
Mealworms Treats
Many chicken raisers like to buy mealworms or chicken treats containing these.
Chickens love these and are easily tamed by using such tasty treats, however you
should keep in mind that animal by-product regulations mean that mealworms are not
really allowed to be fed to poultry.
Grow your own Chicken Feed

No.
Christina R. Flores
In the world where the pace of life is getting faster and faster and money tighter and
tighter, being a free ranging poultry farmer is not always easy. Buying pellet feed for our
chickens is a quick feeding should but it is expensive and would not necessarily give
your birds all the nutrients they need. Putting it simply, we could try growing our own
backyard’s that may we can give our bird’s access to. Growing the food for our chickens
could well be the key to both flock health and contentment and to making the
homestead or farm more self-sufficient and ecologically sound.
 Grains: feed corn, sorghum, amaranth and sunflowers.
 Cover crops: small grains, buckwheat and cowpeas.
 Chard and mangles: chard (swiss chard) and mangles (fodder beets) are simply
variants of garden beets, beta vulgaris.
 Potatoes: must be cooked.
Practical Ration for Native Chicken on the Range
Ration. Ordinarily the word ration refers to the amount of feed consumed by an
individual within twenty four hours. In poultry feeding however, where the birds are fed
collectively and the amount given daily is governed by the judgment of the feeder, the
word ration refers to the composition of the daily diet of the fowls rather than to the
amount given in one day.
Balance Ration. The ration should be adapted to the purpose in view. For instance,
a ration should contain more proteins than carbohydrates and the growing rations for
young chicks should be rich in ash and protein minerals. A balanced ration, therefore, is
one that furnishes the nutrients in a proportion that will properly and without waste or
excess of the nutrients feed a flock of poultry for a specified length of time.
Nutritive Ration. A ration sometimes referred to as wide, medium or narrow
rations. This classification is based upon the relation between the digestible proteins and
the digestible carbohydrates and fats, which relation is termed “nutritive ratio”. For
similar reasons, individual feeds are also classified as nitrogenous, medium or
carbonaceous foods. Corn is a carbonaceous or a wide ration feed, but dried shrimps is
a narrow feed, or in other words, it is a nitrogenous feed.
Feeding Newly Hatched Chicks. Hard boiled infertile eggs, chopped very fine, shell
and all, and mixed with four to five times its bulk, with bread crumbs, boiled rice or rice
bran, may be given to the newly hatched chicks. This should be given at regular
intervals, four to five times during the day, giving only a little at a time. This ration can
be fed during the first week allowing about one egg a day to every thirty chicks. Fine grit,
plenty of green, and clean cool water should be where the chicks can get them at any
time.
Feeding the older chicks. A mash mixture composed of two parts weight of rice
bran, one part of rice shorts (binlid), and one part of dried shrimps may be given four
times a day. If dried shrimps are not available, either ground snails or white ants (anay)
may be fed at noon, giving enough to keep the chicks busy for about twenty minutes.
Chicks should be given a chance to run out in the yard as much as possible, and should
have plenty of sunlight, which is essential for their normal growth.
Feeding the growing stock. Young chicks kept on a wide run may be fed with
either cracked or palay or both, and a mash mixture composed of one part each by
weight of rice bran or rice shorts, of copra meal, of corn meal and of dried shrimps. This

No.
Christina R. Flores
mash mixture should be available to the birds ad libitum. It shrimps cannot be secured,
some form of meat food as ground snails or white ants should be given instead.
Feeding the laying and breeding hens. A simple fairly cheap laying ration, which
may be easily obtained is:
Grain: Cracked corn or an equal mixture of corn and palay.
Mash. 2 parts of rice bran
1 part of rice shorts
1.5 parts of copra meal
Feeding for fattening. Corn is one of the best grains for fattening chicken. Confine
the birds to be fattened in a small pen and give them all the shelled corn that they will
consume readily. Do not give them too much at a time or they will get tired of it.
Continue feeding them this way until the birds are as fat as desired.
A mash of equal parts corn meal and rice bran, moistened to a sloopy constituency,
is a good fattening feed. Confine the birds in a small crate or box and fast them out
about twenty-four hours before giving them the mash. Soft-boiled rice may be added
with advantage to this mixture.
Ration for laying hens. A very simple, fairly cheap laying ration that can be easily
secured consists of grain and mash. The mash is composed of the following:
Ingredients Parts of Weight
Rice bran 40
Corn meal 30
Copra meal 20
Shrimp meal or fish meal 10
Total 100
If copra meal is not available at a reasonable price, a mash mixture composed of 60
parts by weight of fine bran, 20 of corn meal, and 20 either shrimp meal or fish meal has
been found to give satisfactory results.
Drinking System
Drinking Type Requirements Sample
Nipple Drinkers <3 kg (6.6 lbs) 12 birds per
nipple
>3 kg (6.6 lbs) 9 birds per
nipple
Bell Drinkers 10 drinkers (40 cm/17 in) per

1000 birds

No.
Christina R. Flores
 Birds should have access to clean, fresh, good-quality drinking water 24 hours a
day.
 Monitor the feed-to-water ratio daily.
 At 21°C (70°F), birds are consuming sufficient water when the ratio of water
volume (l) to feed weight (kg) remains close to:
 1.8:1 for bell drinkers
 1.7:1 for nipple drinkers with cups.
 1.6:1 for nipple drinkers without cups.
 The water-to-feed ratio may be higher than this for the first few days.
 Ideal water temperature should be between 15°C (59°F).
 Provide supplementary drinkers for the first 4 days of a flock’s life.
 Adjust drinker height adjustment with bird age.
 Keep drinkers well-maintained and clean.
 In hot weather, water consumption will be increased and drinkers lines should be
flushed at regular intervals to keep water cool.
Feeding System
Feeder Type Feeder Space
Pan Feeder 45-80 birds per pan (the lower ratio
for bigger birds)
Flat Chain/Auger 2.5cm/bird (40 birds/m of track)

1 in/bird (24 birds/ft of track)
Tube Feeders 70 birds/tube (for a 38 cm/15 in

diameter feeder)
 Adjust feeder height daily so that bird’s breasts are level with the base of the feeder.
 Feed must be distributed equally and uniformly throughout the feeding system.
 Allow the birds to clear the feeders once daily.
 Feeder space may need to be increased if the lighting program is modified.
Feeding Management Practices

 Ad Libitum means that the diet is available at all times.

No.

Feed Recording and Inventory Management
 Identify the parts of feeding inventory and inventory management.

 Construct a feed and inventory form.
For years farmers have been reporting information on a variety of forms for various
reasons. Effective management of a farming operation requires that records be kept so
managers can make informed decisions affecting the profitability and productivity of their
farms.
Importance of keeping accurate and up-to-date records

 Production cost may be used in pricing the adjustment of operations can be
computed and forecast
 Whole financial status of the business can be measured
 Accurate farm records will provide the basic data in the planning of the
succeeding business
 Production records determine the efficiency birds, flock men and
management practice
The farm should record and keep procurement documents of feeds, these include
but are not limited to the following:
 Supplier or source of feed concentrate and its registration number;
 Type of feed and supplements;
 Quantity;
 Declaration of ingredients;
 Document of feed analysis;
 Date of delivery; and
