    Sweet potatoes can be fed directly to chickens, and raw sweet potatoes are better fed to chickens than cooked, but it is better not to feed them to chickens.

    Sweet potatoes are a common crop in rural areas, and they are high in nutrients and rich in protein, starch, and vitamins。Sweet potatoes used to be one of the staple foods of people, and they were also a high-quality added feed for livestock and livestock, and were planted in large areas in many places. Sweet potato leaves can be eaten by humans or fed to pigs and rabbits, and people now eat a meal comparable to a variety of greens.

    Whether it is fresh or sun-dried, it can be used as an addition to pig food. Sweet potatoes are also, to be exact, as long as the vegetables and fruits eaten by people can be used to feed the poultry at home, but they are not suitable for feeding chickens.

    There is a very strange phenomenon I don't know if you have noticed, whether it is a chicken or a duck, they will eat some sweet potatoes more or less, but they just don't eat sweet potato leaves. The year I started raising chickens was in my own orchard, because some of the fruit trees had withered and left a lot of open space, so I thought about planting some sweet potatoes to feed the chickens and reduce the money for food. After planting, put the surrounding tightly tight, for fear that the sweet potatoes will be eaten by the chickens before they grow up.

    However, I underestimated the ability of chickens, and the chickens did not have to blow up the fence about one meter high, but it is strange that chickens that like to eat grass and greens do not eat sweet potato leaves. When the sweet potatoes grow up, only some of the ones that are exposed to the ground will be destroyed by the chickens.

    Raw sweet potatoes are better than cooked sweet potatoes to feed chickens because of the high starch content and sugar content, which are very viscous when cooked. Chickens don't know if it's because they don't like it or because it sticks to their throats, so they shake their heads when they peck a little, or use their paws to get rid of the sweet potato residue on their mouths. This will not happen with raw sweet potatoes, but the chickens can't eat much, and no matter how fine the chop is, it's useless, so it's a lot of waste to feed the chickens with sweet potatoes.

    The above statement: Because the starch content of sweet potatoes is too high, it will be difficult for humans to digest raw sweet potatoes, and chickens should be the same, otherwise the moisture of sweet potatoes and sweet potato leaves is no less than that of other green vegetables, and chickens will not like to eat them.

    1. The main reason why chickens eat sweet potatoes and don't lay eggs is to feed them too much. Usually don't give chickens too much sweet potato residue to prevent hens from getting too fat to lay eggs, because sweet potatoes are starch-rich foods. Generally, raw sweet potato residue is relatively hard, and chickens eating too much will affect digestion, and cooked sweet potatoes are relatively soft, and chickens are prone to flatulence and affect the body if they eat too much, so don't feed too much sweet potato residue at one time.

    2. You can feed them some rice, millet, wheat, rice bran and other foods, which will be of great help to improve the egg production of chickens. When raising chickens, you can also add a little liquor or honey to the feed, which will also increase the egg production of the chickens. Or add some red peppers, which will not only increase the egg production of the chicken, but also improve the quality of the eggs.

    Large-scale chicken farms do not feed chickens with sweet potatoes, and only a few ** use sweet potatoes to feed chickens. The harm of sweet potato feeding to chickens is manifested in the following aspects:

    1. Sweet potatoes are low-quality energy feed. As an energy feed, the feed value of sweet potatoes is much lower than that of corn and wheat, if sweet potatoes are used as the main energy feed to feed chickens, the production performance of chickens will be significantly reduced, including slow growth, slow production, less eggs, and some will also show nutritional diseases.

    2. The feed processed from sweet potatoes has high moisture, inconvenient storage, and is easy to mildew, which is not conducive to the health of chickens.

    3. Sweet potatoes are fed to chickens, and the processed feed is sticky, which is not conducive to the intake and digestion of chickens.

    If you have a lot of sweet potatoes to consume at home, and at the same time there are no high requirements for the efficiency of chicken breeding, you can use sweet potatoes appropriately in this case. In general, it is more appropriate to replace 30%-40% of corn, and too much will have obvious negative effects.

    In addition, feeding chickens with sweet potatoes is time-consuming and laborious, and will increase certain production costs and storage costs, so large-scale chicken farms will basically not choose sweet potatoes as energy feed.
