II. Background Information for Learners

This instructional material contains activities on how to select suitable

feeding materials available in the locality and nutrient requirements of chicken. Go
through the different learning activities to attain the competency. However, if you
have problems, you can contact your teacher and request for assistance and
guidance.

In order to be acquainted with the different terms used in this lesson, know the
meaning of the following terms:

Feed - edible materials which are consumed by animals and contribute energy and
or nutrients to the animal diet.

Feeding - the process of giving feeds to the animal.

Feed ingredients - the sources of nutrient which are used in preparing the feed for
poultry

Fast growth - characteristics of poultry to reach the desired market weight in the
shortest possible time.

Nutrients - any substances which nourish and promote animal growth

Poultry - feathered animals that render economic service to men

Crude protein – includes the true proteins and all other nitrogenous compounds in
feeds.

Palatable – agreeable in taste

By- product – secondary products produced in addition in addition to the principal

product

Feeding poultry is essential in order that the birds may be fed economically
yet profitably. The biggest percentage of expenses incurred in raising poultry goes to
feeds. It is a very important item in poultry production, otherwise there will be an
unnecessary amount of feed waste and, consequently, lower profits.

Purposes of Feeding Poultry

Poultry are fed for the purpose of supplying nutrients needed for their growth,
maintenance, and reproduction. Poultry need the greatest quantity of nutrients for
the rapid development of bones and muscle tissues. Poultry for egg production also
need those nutrients that will keep them for the producing eggs and to replace worn
out body tissue during egg production stage.

Functions of Feeds

Feed is utilized by poultry for the following reasons:

1. To maintain life. The bulk of feed consumed by poultry is used to maintain

life. What is over and above the requirement for life maintenance is utilized for
growth and reproduction.

2. To promote growth. Poultry must have enough quality of feed for their
growth. They are raised to be utilized for meat purposes.

3. To reproduce their kind. Production of fertilized eggs is necessary for

hatching. Matured chicken need more feeds than younger one to maintain life
and for reproduction/ Common ingredients used in Formulating Broiler Feeds.
You must be familiar with the common feed ingredient that supply the
nutrients needed.

Ration is the amount of feed consumed by an individual bird within a day. The
ration should be adopted for the purpose of its use. otherwise there will be waste of
nutrients and the growth and development of birds will be subsequently affected. A
ration should also be balanced in order to furnish the essential nutrients in a
proportion that will properly feed flock for a certain length of time without the different
feed ingredients.

A good ration should have the following requirements:

1. It should be adapted to the purpose for which the birds are being fed.
2. It must be attractive and palatable.
3. A variety in the ration increases the chance of supplying all the nutritive needs
of the birds.
4. The cost of ration should be reasonable.

Feeding Laying Hens (backyard, semi-commercial, commercial)

1. Feed a balanced ration to supply proper nutrients for egg production.
2. Use at least three kinds of grains, whenever possible, to constitute 75 to 80%
ration. Examples, rice, corn, sorghum.
3. Use at least one animal protein supplement to form 5 to 10% of ration.
Examples, (a) fish meal, (b) shrimp meal, (c) meat scraps.

5|Page
 4. Use one or more plant protein supplement to constitute 5 to 10 percent of the
ration. Example, ipil-ipil leaf meal, soybean oil meal, copra meal, and mongo
bean meal.
5. Use a mixture of 50 – 50 animal and plant proteins to form 15% in the total
ration.
6. Use at least one legume roughage, given as soilage (green feed) free choice
(hens are at liberty to choose what they like.
Examples – tapilan leaves, centrosema vines, tropical kudzu vines, peanut
vines, mongo vines, soybean vines.
7. Shell free choice – provides the bulk of calcium required for eggshell
formation. Example – oyster shell and other sea shells.
8. Use one- half kilo of native salt for every 45 kilos of total ration.
9. Provide fresh, clean drinking water at all times.

Principles of Feeding
The purpose of feeding is to supply the feed nutrients needed for
maintenance, growth, fattening, and egg production.

Sources of Carbohydrate and Fat

A. Yellow corn. Yellow corn is one of the best grains for fattening chickens. It
consists of eight to nine percent crude protein, high in energy and low in fiber.
It is highly digestible and palatable. It contains vitamin A and yellow
pigmenting compounds.
B. Rice bran. Rice bran is palatable to poultry of all ages. There are two types of
this by- product in the market., the “cono” rice bran and the “kiskisan” rice
bran. The cono rice bran contains about eleven (11%) percent protein. The
kiskisan rice bran contains about six (6%) percent protein. It is usually high in
fiber but contains adequate amount of fat.
C. Copra meal. Copra meal is the by-product of the coconut meat after the oil
has been removed. It contains about twenty percent protein. It is the most
common and cheapest source of plant protein.
D. Corn gluten feed. Corn gluten is a combination of corn gluten and corn bran
mixed in such a proportion as to contain twenty five percent protein. It is a
good source of carbohydrates.
E. Molasses. Molasses is the cheapest source of carbohydrates. It is a by-
product in the manufacture of sugar.

Sources of Protein
A. Fish meal. Fish meal is a good source of high quality
protein. It contains about sixty to sixty-five percent
protein. It also contains an adequate amount of
carbohydrates and fats.
B. Soy bean oil meal. Soy bean oil meal contains
about forty-four percent crude protein and is also a
good source of energy. This is the only plant protein
source that can replace animal protein in the diet.
C. Shrimp meal. Shrimp meal when dried and ground is
a good source of protein. It contains about fifty-six
percent crude proteins but low in energy. It may be
used as substitute for fish meal.

6|Page
 D. Trichantera leaf meal. Trichantera is a shrub which leaves are rich in protein.
Leaves can be given to poultry in dried or fresh. It can be chopped or given as
a whole.
E. Mullbery leaf meal. Mullbery is a small tree with a tiny fruit. It is rich in
calcium.
F. Ipil-ipil leaf meal. Ipil-ipil leaves contain high amount of protein and also rich
in vitamin A.

Feeds consists the largest item of cost in raising poultry for meat production.
Understanding the fundamentals of poultry feeding is essential in order that the birds
may be fed economically and profitably. Select feedstuffs that are commonly
available in your place and supply is abundant. Consider their nutrient content and
what other nutrients they can provide your chickens. Accessibility of the supplier or
place where to collect these feedstuffs should not be taken for granted. Can these
feedstuffs be grown locally? If they are suitable to the conditions in your locality there
will be no problem in growing them.

One way to lower cost of feeds is to utilize locally available feedstuffs.

Utilize plant legumes common in your community. Some of them can be growing wild
and not used. You can also grow your own feed ingredients. What is important is
you know how to select the most suitable and nutritious feed materials to use to
meet the nutrient requirement of your chickens.
