Nutrition is an important part of poultry farming because the performances of chickens and other poultry birds depend majorly on their nutrition. One mistake some broiler farmers make is giving less focus to what their broilers consume.
Each class of birds has its own specific nutritional requirements, and these requirements are always considered when formulating feed for chickens. Anything lower or higher would affect the performance of the chickens.
Thus, it is important to know the nutritional requirements of broilers. When you have an idea of what your chickens need, feed analysis and formulation will be carried out efficiently.
The nutrient requirements for broilers at all production stages are presented in the tables below.

Good afternoon sir, please what’s the nutritional requirements for breeding turkey
This answers your question http://www.livestocking.net/how-to-start-turkey-farming-production#Nutritional_Requirements_of_Turkey
I want to pay for the nutritional special formula for broiler starter and finisher, but how will i be sure i will get the formula if payment have been made.
Hi Abimbola,
Many people have paid and they have received what they pay for. We are not here to defraud any one. I understand the Nigerian factor and the risk of making faceless transactions. So if you make your payment, you will get what you paid for after confirming payment.
this is not a one time business, there is more time left for the future, if he did good formulation and you trust him, next time you will have another business.
How long will it take for one to get the formulation after payment and subsequent confirmation of same.
