How To Increase The Weight of a Broiler Chicken!

Broiler rearing for meat is a very amazing, interesting and profitable experience. Whether you’re doing this on a large scale or small scale, it is a rewarding process. Image
The broiler chicken is a special species of poultry as it is scientifically made to produce more meat in a very short period of time say 4-6 weeks when they weigh around 1.2- 1.7kg. One of the most dominant Broiler chickens being reared for meat is the Cornish.
However Consumers nowadays want to buy big, healthy birds, so it’s up to poultry farmers to find ways to increase the weight of their broiler chickens as safely and naturally as possible.

For your chicken to grow fast and gain more Weight try this:
🐓. Using feeders that don’t waste feed
Although it may be tempting to purchase cost-effective feeders, investing in high-quality feeders that do not spill or waste chicken feed can pay off more in the long run.
🐓. Putting broilers into groups based on their body size and weight
When you sort your broilers based on similar body size or weight, you eliminate the issue of inequality. This way, the smaller broiler chickens can eat without being cheated by bigger birds.
🐓. Proper Feeding
It’s essential to supply your broiler chickens with the nutrients they need for fast, healthy growth. Deciding on the best feed for your broiler chickens can depend on their age and even their preferences.
🐓. Using the lights on and off tactic
To ensure the best feed digestibility for your birds, use a lights-on, lights-off program. This method ensures your broiler chickens fully digest their feed while resting and gives them enough time to consume a healthy
amount of feed during light hours. If you do use this method, make sure there are enough feeding spaces for all broilers to eat simultaneously.
NB: Flu, Coughs, Mareks, Newcastle affect growth and weight among broilers as the chicken become stress out. however providing vitamins to the flock can help on boosting the chicken during stress.

Why I Chose To Start Up Kuroiler chicken Farming- In 2023.

The Kuroiler breed of chicken is a dual-purpose bird that is used for meat and eggs. It was created in the state of Andhra Pradesh in South India through selective breeding of the Rhodes Island Red rooster and... Image
