What is It
11
1. Distance of the storage house
It is highly recommended that storage house should be close to
poultry house or it could be built inside the poultry house to provide
convenience during feeding.
2. Storage Facility
Feeds should be kept dry and ensure that the humidity is low.
It should provide maximum protection from vermin such as rats and
insect pest that brings diseases. In addition, it should be off the
ground to prevent mold formation and should be protected from
harmful drugs and chemicals.
3. Storage Conditions
Reduction in shelf life of feeds is also due to poor storage
conditions and could lead to the loss of important nutrients such as
anti-oxidants which cause high mortality rate. Leaving feeds on the
ground will cause mold formation which will result a serious health
problems to poultry. Mycotoxins will also form especially during hot
weather condition.
One challenge owner mostly face is that it is very hard to
predict its shelf life. In addition, local climate plays a vital role in
determining the shelf life of the feeds. It is not also guaranteed that
even the best housing facility could not help prevent spoilage thus
storing it in short span of time is advisable.
4. Temperature
It should be away from direct sunlight since it may have impact
to the nutritional content of the feeds. It is advisable to use iron
sheets to reflect back the sunlight. Insulated bins could also be use
during hot weather to stabilize temperature inside the facility.
In order to minimize feed wastage, here are some important reminders:
1. It should not be filled more than 1/3 of its depth.
2. Age of chicken determines the size of feeders. These feeders should
have a lid guard measuring 1-2 cm to avoid scratching.
3. To prevent feed spoilage, avoid spill in the water and check the
waterer for possible leak.
