Why is chicken feed so expensive now?

1.Broken beak. Beak cutting at the age of 6 days and 9 days of chick can not only effectively prevent pecking habits, but also save feed grams per chicken per day during the growth period and feed grams during the laying period; For each egg laid, save 12 grams of feed.

2.Captive. Due to the stable environment, small activity and high feeding density, the cage reduces the amount of heat dissipation, so the food is reduced accordingly. It is estimated that cage farming can generally save 20% to 30% of feed compared with free-range breeding.

3.Deworming. If there are parasites in chickens, the nutrients converted by the feed eaten by chickens will be absorbed by the parasites, resulting in the evil consequences of raising chickens but actually raising insects. Therefore, chickens should generally be dewormed once every 30 to 60 days.

4.Turn off the feed. Do not feed moldy and spoiled feed, to ensure the full price of nutrition of the feed, because the nutrition in the feed is not comprehensive is the biggest waste. Feed crushing should not be too fine, otherwise it is easy to cause difficulty in feeding.

5.Use alternative materials. Protein feed, especially fishmeal, is higher, with some cheap insects, earthworms, local small fish and shrimp, by-products of meat processing, fish scraps, powder residue, sugar residue, tofu residue, etc., after proper processing and modulation to replace part of the protein feed feed chickens, can greatly reduce the cost of feed.

6.Improved trough structure. The feed trough for feeding chickens should be the tip of the bottom, the belly is large, and the mouth is small.

Such a trough has a lot of material, and it is not easy for chickens to peck out the feed, so that chickens can eat the leftovers. The height of the trough should be based on the fact that the chickens can eat ad libitum as the main criterion. The amount of material added to the trough should not be too full, and it is generally mastered at the height of 1 3 troughs, otherwise it is easy to throw and waste; It has been reported that 12% of the feed is wasted when the feed is added to the trough of 2 3, 5% when added to 1 2, and 2% when added to 1 3.

7.Bacitracin zinc was added. Adding 100 mg kg of bacitracin zinc to the egg diet in summer resulted in a 20% increase in egg production, a 10% increase in feed conversion and a significant increase in eggshell thickness.

8.Add methionine. The addition of methionine in general feed can increase the utilization rate of feed protein by 2% 3%.

9.Vitamin C is added. Adding 50 grams of vitamin C per ton of chicken feed can increase egg production by more than 10% and save feed by more than 15%.

10.Culling low-yielding hens. There are often 10% to 30% of low-yielding chickens in the flock, and the low-yielding chickens are eliminated, and the egg production of the flock will not be significantly reduced, but the feed can be greatly saved.

According to this line of thinking, the input of local chicken breeding is higher than that of feed chickens, and it is much higher, and there are two major determinants: one is the feeding time. Feed chickens will be slaughtered in 40 days, and native chickens will be 8-10 months; The second is feed.

Feed chickens are fed commercial feed, and native chickens are fed grain. The grain fed to the chickens is calculated at 1 yuan a catty, with an average of catties per day, or under stocking conditions, eating grass and insects.

Raw material **, corn price has risen.

Now the price is expensive, for example, the materials for making chicken feed are expensive, and now the price of oil is very high, and the machine for making chicken feed needs to burn gasoline or diesel.

Under the premise of various ****, chicken feed naturally needs to be **** in order to obtain profits. So now chicken feed is expensive.

Because of the epidemic, the output of many agricultural products has declined, so the price of chicken feed will also increase with the decline in the production of agricultural products.

Fish feed is more expensive than chicken feed for one of the following reasons:1The feed composition of fish is complex.

It is not bad that the same species of fish needs different feeds, while chickens only need the same kind of feed. As a result, the formulation of fish feed is more complex and cumbersome, requiring more raw materials, resulting in increased costs. 2.

The environment for fish farming is even more demanding. The fish biosphere is more complex, and fish farming needs to keep the water clean and fresh, and water quality management is also very important. In addition, the prevention and control of diseases in fish farming is also relatively more complex, resulting in an increase in the cost of farming, which affects the destruction of fish feed.

3.The amount of demand is different. Compared with chicken farming, the scale of fish farming is relatively small, and the demand for rent is also small, resulting in a relatively small amount of fish feed produced, and the cost is higher, which will increase accordingly.

These factors can lead to fish feed being more expensive than chicken feed.

After the feed chicken is bought home, it can be slaughtered and eaten for 1 month, because the hormones in its body have been basically eliminated after about 1 month. Feed chickens are also known as "cage chickens", "house chickens", the color of their feathers is relatively monotonous, mostly white, black, hemp, yellow and other colors, and the color of the feathers of the same batch of feed chickens is often the same.

Extended information: 1. What is the difference between native chickens and feed chickens.

1. Local chicken. The body size of the native chicken is generally small and exquisite, the appearance is delicate, and the chest and leg muscles are strong.

Its head is small, its legs are short and its feet are thin, and the normal gross weight of the hen is between catties; The rooster feather weighs between catties.

2. Feed chickens.

The size of the feed chicken is larger, the legs are long and the feet are thick, and the hen wool weight is between 5-10 pounds; Rooster feathers weigh between 6-13 pounds.

Second, how to breed native chickens and feed chickens.

1. Free-range chickens.

They are naturally growing, eat Cordyceps in the forest grass, drink mountain stream dew, have a wide range of activities, usually exercise a lot, so the chicken feet are lean and meatless, but strong and hard, often use claws to plan, the feet are more calloused, the foot skin is rough, the color is darker, the mouth is sharp and polished out of the luster, there is no broken beak, occasionally you can feed a little farmer's grain, farmers raise more for their own consumption, very little**.

2. Feed chickens.

They basically have no space to move, their living site is like a production plant, the scale of breeding is large, they need to be fed with medicated feed, their claws are sharper than that of free-range grain chickens, they are easy to break, there are no calluses on their feet, they are smooth, delicate, relatively white, and their toes are thicker. For the purpose of commercial investment, farmers will strictly control the breeding cycle, and the general breeding time is between months and 4 months.

3. Which is more nutritious, native chicken or feed chicken.

Native chickens are more nutritious.

The meat of the native chicken is firm and elastic to the touch, the muscle fibers are fine, the meat is tender, the bones are hard, and there are few young bones.

After the local chicken soup, the meat is fresh and tender, the chicken soup is transparent and clear, the taste is delicious, rich in amino acids and glial protein, which can be quickly absorbed and utilized by the human body, and is a good product for nourishment.

Feed chickens belong to rapid prototyping, the feeding time is short, the chicken bones are cartilage after making soup, there is no umami, and the chicken soup is turbid.

Generally, the feed chickens are purchased back and bred for about 1 month, and the stimulation in their bodies. Vegetarian will be basically eliminated, at this time the taste of slaughtering and eating is better, feed chicken is also called "cage chicken", "house chicken", the color of its feathers is relatively monotonous, most of them are hemp, white, black, yellow and other colors, and the color of the same batch of feed chicken feathers is mostly the same.

Second, buy feed chickens and come back to raise them.

1, the purchase of feed chickens can be raised, the later meat quality will be more delicious, generally suitable for the choice of leeward to the sun, flat terrain, dry, convenient access to water, away from the village, convenient transportation of the place to breed, summer need to open the doors and windows, keep the house clean and dry and fresh air, need to strictly control the feeding density.

2, at the same time to feed in advance, feed 1 time at night, winter need to pay attention to heat preservation and ventilation, the appropriate temperature is 14-23, and regularly disinfect the enclosure and utensils, keep the feeding environment clean and hygienic, generally free-range chickens can eat freely, but calcium still needs to be supplied in sufficient quantities from the diet, otherwise chickens will have osteoporosis, abnormal posture, lay soft-shelled eggs, thin-shelled eggs or shellless eggs, increase the breakage rate of eggs, and the amount of eggs produced has also declined.

3. Chickens can not be fed a high-calcium diet in the breeding stage, the calcium content in the diet should be controlled at about 0,8%-0,9%, as long as the development is normal, most of the free-range chickens begin to lay eggs at the age of 145-155 days, so from this period it is necessary to give a large amount of calcium to the chickens, the utilization rate of calcium in chickens is about 55%, and it takes 2,0-2,3g of calcium to lay 1 egg, that is, every chicken lays 1 egg, it needs to eat about 4g of calcium.

4. According to this demand, from the beginning of the production to the 5% egg production rate period, the calcium in the diet can be increased to 2%, and then gradually increased to the optimal level of 3,2%-3,5% in the later period, if the ambient temperature is high, the feed intake of chickens will be reduced, and the amount of calcium supplementation can be appropriately increased.

5. Generally in the calcium supplement, bone meal, shell powder, stone powder can be used as the main calcium powder, when selecting, it is necessary to pay attention to the particles in these raw materials to be relatively large, the less powdery the better, because granular calcium in the digestive tract for a long time, in the eggshell formation stage can be evenly supplied with calcium, at the same time granular calcium in the stomach can play a grinding role, is conducive to improving feed digestibility.

The cost of feed for a chicken depends on a number of factors:

1.Feed type: Different chicken breeds and feeding methods need to roll the same type of feed. For example, the feed for laying hens and broilers is different, and the feed for free-range chickens and caged chickens is not the same.

2.Feed**: The cost of feed is directly affected by the market feed**.

4.Number of feeds: The higher the number of feeds, the lower the cost per unit of feed.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of feed consumed by a laying hen before the elimination is about **catty**, and the cost should be calculated according to the local feed ** level.

The amount of feed consumed by a layer before culling:

During the brooding period (0-2 months), about a kilogram of feed is consumed.

During the growth period (3 May), the average daily feed consumption of each chicken is about catty, so it is estimated that each chicken consumes about catty of feed per month, and each chicken consumes about catty of feed during the growing period (3 months);

During the laying period (5 17 months), the average feed consumption of each chicken per day is about catty, so it is estimated that each chicken consumes about catty of feed per month, and each chicken consumes about catty of feed during the laying period (12 months). The growing period and egg production consume about a total of about a kilogram of feed.

The cost should be calculated according to the local feed level**.

Adult laying hens eat about a pound a day, how much is worth Xi Kai can not say, different feeds have different prices, the difference is relatively large. For example, the age of today's chickens is 80 days, so you should eat 80 grams of feed today.

The total number of chickens eat how many catties of feed a day and then how many catties of eggs are laid with the total number of catties of feed divided by the total number of catties of eggs is the ratio of the feed list, such as a thousand chickens eat 200 catties of feed a day and lay 100 catties of eggs is 200 divided by 100 to get two feeds.

According to the experience of people who have raised chickens for 2 years:

It takes 120 days for a chick to lay eggs. During the period, a total of 23-25 yuan is required from small to large. (100 catties of feed 101 yuan now} after laying eggs, from raising chicks to the end of laying eggs to a year and a half.

After that, I will eat about two feeds a day. You can calculate how much feed you have to eat, and some chickens will lay more eggs for more than a year and a half, so they will eat more feed. The opposite is true.

Egg laying starts at 120 days and peaks at 180 days, after which it slowly decreases. In percentage terms, it is. Peak 92% - 93% per day.

It is slowly reduced. to 65% - 70% per day for a year and a half. (To put it bluntly, chickens don't lay eggs every day.)

Sometimes one a day. Sometimes 2 or 3 days a day. The percentage is calculated according to this).

The amount of eggs laid for individuals is closely related to the quality of the chicks they enter.

Depending on how big you want to raise, if it is 35 days and 4 catties of slaughter, you don't need a lot of feed, and the specific calculation method is as follows:

Calculation method of chicken diet for meat (e.g. Cobb, Ross 308, AA and other white-feathered broilers):

1. The age of the day * the number of * unit: Jin (before the age of 15 days).

2.(days of age - 2) * only a few percent

Unit: Jin (after 15 days of age).

3. Day age - week age = two numbers.

Day age = two numbers.

In 10-day increments.

For example: How many taels does an 18-day-old broiler chicken eat?

Two by two, this is the lower limit.

Two by two, this is the upper limit.

Fast large three-yellow chicken: 3 * number of days.

Unit: G817 (hybrid chickens): number of days old*

First of all, it is important to be sure that real farm chickens have absolutely no hormones added, and adding hormones will not change the taste.

Then said, why the taste of feed chickens and farm chickens is different, first, farm chickens exercise much more than feed chickens, and grow slowly, so the meat is firm and the taste is goodSecond, the feed is fed purely for the sake of rapid growth and single food, while farm chickens eat cereals and grains, and the nutrition is balanced, so it is also a reason for the good taste.

Third, the reason for variety breeding, the general taste and growth rate are not both, in order to grow fast in the selection and breeding, the taste of the beauty should be abandoned, and the taste of the general growth is slow. This condition is prevalent in most domestic livestock and poultry. For example:

Fragrant pig, as everyone knows, grows slowly and is small, but it tastes good.

I've been working in a large farm for six years.

1.The current feed ** seems to be around two dollars and nine cents, and I'm talking about one kilogram.

2.If you raise it for forty-five days, your weight should be about 5 and a half catties, the ratio of feed to meat is about about how much material you need, you can calculate it yourself. Of course, this is not an exact number, if you raise it well, the feed meat ratio will be a little lower, the weight will be a little higher, and the benefits will of course be a little better.

If it's a bad deal, then there's no way to say it.

3.Let's not talk about the brand, first of all, it is recommended that you feed the full price feed, which should not be much more expensive than the premix, save trouble, and be nutritionally comprehensive and balanced. As for the brand, I don't know which region you are in, you can inquire more about your local counterparts in this regard, and you should have a judgment, but of course, you must choose a reputable and hard brand.

I wish you a fortune.
