What are the main characteristics of a good feed for other poultry ?
A good poultry feed should contain a balanced mix of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. These elements provide the basic building blocks needed for growth, development and overall health.
Feed ingredients must be easily digestible to allow optimal absorption of nutrients by the poultry’s digestive system. This ensures that the nutrients are efficiently used by the body to support growth and health.
Proteins are essential for muscle growth, egg production and other biological functions. A good food should therefore contain high-quality protein from sources such as soya, fish or meat by-products, with a complete amino acid profile.
Poultry have high energy requirements to support their active metabolism and rapid growth. The feed must therefore have an adequate energy density, generally provided by ingredients such as maize, wheat or added fats.
Their nutritional requirements vary throughout their lives, from chicks to breeding adults. A good feed should be formulated to adapt to the different phases of growth, adjusting the levels of protein, energy and other nutrients according to the specific needs at each stage.
Vitamins and minerals are needed to support many biological processes, including reproduction, bone development and immune function. A good feed should contain adequate levels of vitamins (such as A, D, E and the B-complex vitamins) and minerals (such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium) to ensure the health and well-being of the birds.
