9 Factors To Consider When Choosing the Feed type and drugs to use for your birds.

1)Economic Factors: Is the feed more or less expensive & and is the energy and protein content of the feed equal to the requirements for the fast growth of my birds?

2)Logistics: Will there be a reliable supply of the feed in my area or I will have to travel far to get it when the feed finishes at farm?

3) Knowledge: Is there enough knowledge on how to use the drugs you buy from the vet or from the vet shop attendants?.

4)Will there be an equal quality replacement just incase this feed or drug finishes and it's not available for me to buy? Will I get another suitable replacement for it
.
5).Can I buy the feeds and drugs in large quantities for my birds to use for along time? How much does the quality of the feeds and drugs decreases with time?

6)Testimony From Other Farmers Who Have Used Them Before?
What are the reviews about the drugs and feeds you are about to buy from those that have used them before? If the reviews are bad don't go for it and if it's good you can then go it..

7)Be sure the manufacturer of the feeds produce feeds for birds of different weeks and for different type of birds.
You know we have different types of feeds, which are starter feed, grower feeds, finisher feed and layer mash feeds.
You feed starter to birds of 0-4weeks old.
You feed finisher feed to birds that are 4weeks old and above.
Grower feed are for noilers Cockerels,Turkey and also for layers that are between 8-16weeks old. I don't advice farmers to use Grower feed for broilers because it's not economical wise to do so.

Be sure the manufacturer produces all of this before you go for it.
coolThe type of feed you use should contain anticoccidals and antibiotics in little quantity.

9) Use Pelletized Feeds To Minimize Food Wastage By The Birds.
Also Don’t forget that what you give your birds to eat, its what you will get out. Avoid feeds from dropping on the floor while serving them because any drop wasted will affect the daily ration requirements of your birds.
