How to process the composition of Joper chicken feed ration aged 0 days until harvest?
Answer:
Dear. Mr. Zainal Rozikin, thank you for the question. Drawing up the ration for both Joper chickens and other types of chickens is basically the same. The difference is only in the nutritional target because each chicken has different nutritional needs depending on the type, strains the age of the chicken and the feed intake- his. In drawing up the composition of the ration self mixing exactly, there are 2 things to consider. First, the complete fulfillment of nutritional needs for chickens. The nutritional needs that need to be considered in the ration of Joper chickens are metabolic energy, crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat, minerals (calcium and phosphorus), vitamins and amino acids. Make sure that the ration prepared is able to supply the nutrient needs of chickens in accordance with the production phase. The second thing to consider is the price of feed and the availability or supply of raw materials rations. It would be very good if in drawing up the composition of the ration we could get the cheapest price (least cost). Do not let the nutritional needs of chickens are met but the cost of feed issued from the formulation itself (self mixing) it is higher than if we buy the finished ration from the factory. Some things we need to know in formulating rations include:
1. Availability of raw materials
This becomes the most important part in the formulation of the ration. Raw materials must continue to be available in good quantity and quality. Try to get raw materials from supplier which is near the location of the farm. It often happens that in difficult times of raw materials such as corn, farmers get low-quality raw materials. As a result, the productivity of chickens decreases. These available raw materials should be of stable quality (not capricious), not contain toxins and have good palatability. Raw materials commonly used include Bran, corn, coconut cake, soybean cake, fish meal, bone meal and so on.
2. Nutritional needs
The main ration nutrients include metabolic energy, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, minerals, vitamins and amino acids. The composition of these nutrients must be adjusted to the type of chicken, strain, age and achievement feed intake- his. Often in the preparation of this ration less attention is paid to the adequacy of micronutrients such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals. This could be due to limited data on these nutrients. Coupled with the nature of micronutrients that are easily damaged both during the production process, storage and distribution so that levels decrease, especially for vitamins. Seeing this condition is necessary if we give the addition feed supplement, which is a complementary feed to meet the needs of these essential micronutrients. Examples feed supplement what we can add is Top Mix and Mix Plus which contains multivitamins, minerals and amino acids that are important for optimizing health, growth and performance in poultry.
3. Ration consumption
The level of consumption of rations is an important guideline that affects the formulation of rations. When the ration consumption is less than the standard, the ration formulation needs to be adjusted. The nutritional Level of the ration needs to be increased so that the nutritional needs for production remain adequate. This condition is usually caused by heat conditions (heat stress), when the chicken is sick or low palatability. Vice versa, when chickens eat more, then the nutritional level of the ration can be lowered so that the intake of nutrients is not excessive. Because when excess nutrient intake will cause increased nutrients that are removed in the stool. In addition, the price of rations will also be higher. Keep a close and constant eye on the results feed intake.
4. Maximum limits on the use of raw materials ration
Observe the restrictions on the use of raw materials. Because the use of raw materials that exceed the limit can have a negative effect on chicken performance. When the use of excess fish meal in the formulation of chicken rations can provoke the appearance of cases of wet feces, especially if the quality control of raw materials is not optimal.
