What I Need to Know

2
 This module provides you the knowledge, skills and attitudes
required in the kinds of feeds for broilers in their different stages of
growth.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. enumerate the kinds of feeds for broilers in their different stages of

growth;
2. compute the amount of feed and water consumption of broilers;
3. appreciate and develop the skills in differentiating the kinds of
feeds for raising broilers.

Lesson 1 Kinds of Feeds for Broilers

3
 What’s In

Activity 1

Direction: Define the following terms on your own understanding.

1. Water –

2. Carbohydrates –

3. Protein –

4. Ash –

5. Vitamins –

What’s New

4
Let’s Define

Antibiotics – a chemical compound generally produced by living

organisms used in dilute solutions to destroy the growth of
bacteria.

Mortality – refers to the number of deaths in ratio to population.

Mash feed - (physical form) a mixture of feed ingredients in meal form

Pellet – (physical form) feed formed by compacting through mechanical

means.

Antibiotics – a chemical compound generally produced by living

microorganisms used in dilute solutions to destroy the growth of
bacteria.

Mortality – refer to the frequency or number of deaths in a given

population.

5
 What is It

Feeds for broilers are differentiated from each kind by their protein
content.

Feeds given during the early stages of growth have higher protein
content (22 to 24 percent) than those given during the later stages of
growth. (19 to 20 percent).

The following table is a guide on what kind of feeds and the

amount of feeds given (in grams) to broiler on different ages (in days).

 Fresh and clean drinking water should also be provided to the
chicks. Change water as often as necessary. It is a good practice to add
antibiotics to the drinking water. Antibiotics have beneficial influence on
the growth rate, feed conversion, and reduction of mortality.

System of Feeding Broilers

The all- mash, crumbled, and pelleted feeds are the most common
forms of feeds given to broilers today. These are adopted for hand feeding
as well as the use of automatic feeders. Pelleting the feeds increases its
palatability to the chickens. But it adds a little to the cost.

7
 What’s More

Compute for feed consumption and water required for 100 birds.

Direction: To determine the amount of feed consumed, multiply the

amount of feed needed in the specific age found in the table below on
Feed consumption Guide by 100 birds.

What I Have Learned

 Different feed ingredients vary in feeding value due to the

difference in their nutrient contents, physical and chemical

properties, and the way they are prepared.

 Poultry raisers should know the different methods of feed

preparation to avoid waste of nutrients, time, and labor

incurred through faulty feed preparation, and system of

feeding.

 What I Can Do

feeding of broilers in your backyard broiler production project for one
week following the daily feed consumption guide. Fill in the data needed
