What are the main characteristics of a good broilers feed ?
Broilers require a protein-rich diet to promote rapid muscle growth. During the different phases of their growth, the protein content of their feed can vary from 20% to 23%, or even more for very young chicks, then decrease slightly as they get older.
An energy-rich diet is crucial to support the rapid growth rate of broilers. Feeds are generally formulated with energy-rich grains such as maize and sorghum, supplemented with added fats to increase energy density.
Broiler feed is often segmented into several phases, with specific formulas for each life stage (start-up, growth, finishing), adjusting protein, energy and nutrient levels to meet changing needs as they grow.
Vitamins (A, D, E and B vitamins) and minerals (sodium, chlorine, potassium) are added in specific quantities to support bone development, nerve and muscle function, and to prevent deficiencies that could slow growth or cause health problems.
The proteins supplied must offer a good amino acid profile, with adequate levels of lysine and methionine in particular, which are crucial for muscle growth and overall performance.
Ingredients must be highly digestible to ensure efficient feed conversion, enabling chickens to get the most out of their feed for optimum growth.
Some producers choose to enrich the feed with omega-3, by adding linseed or other sources, to improve the nutritional value of the meat.

Different needs for different ages : the importance of a suitable diet
From the moment they hatch, chicks require a specific protein-rich diet to encourage rapid growth. As they develop, the introduction of suitable feed boosters is essential to enhance their development. Keep a close eye on their diet at every stage to ensure their health and vitality.
