Broilers do not grow on guesswork. They grow on a precise feeding plan.
Most beginners use the same feed type from day 1 to day 42 and wonder why their birds are underweight at market time.
Here is the correct feeding phase for broilers:
. Day 1 to 14: Starter feed. High protein, 22 to 24%. This builds muscle and early weight.
. Day 15 to 28: Grower feed. 20 to 22% protein. Supports rapid body development.
. Day 29 to 35: Finisher feed. 18 to 20% protein. Prepares birds for market weight.
. Day 36 to 42: Pre-slaughter feed or continue finisher without growth promoters if your buyer requires it.
Feed must be available at all times. Empty feeders are lost growth days.
