I want to use this medium to greet all great Hivers. How has been your day so far, hope you are all doing good? I'm positive minded that it's all well and fine.
In the Poultry farm, there are lot of things a Farmer should take cognizance of before going into the farming system. If you want to start rearing Broiler chicken, there is a section of feed that is meant for day old Birds. I could remember one of my neighbors who had the intention of rearing Broiler birds for consumption before he would think of rearing it for business. When he confides in me, in the middle of our conversation he didn't even allow me to give details of how he would go about it.
Lo and behold, after two weeks and some days, he came back complaining of his birds not growing very well. I had to make a visit to his Pen, on getting to his Pen as I saw what was written on the sacs of feed which was Ultima (finisher feed). Ultima finisher feed is a feed that is giving to birds at the end of the birds lives to watch their weight.
What's the difference between starter feed and finisher feed?
Starter feed is a type of feed from any feed manufacture company that's being produced with very high crude protein, sodium, calcium, methonine, soya beans and more. Every ingredients of this kind of feed are high in percentage which are basically used on Birds from day old to maybe probably four weeks while finisher feed is a kind of feed giving to birds above four weeks to the point of harvest. Most of it contents and ingredients are produced moderately unlike the starter feed.
Moreso, starter feed because it's high in percentage ingredients it helps birds to add up weight as fast as possible while finisher feed is meant to meant the weight of the birds or helps to add up to Broiler birds weight little by little and not as fast as starter feed does.
Another thing is those that normally indulge in buying finisher feed are those who are mostly rearing for the sake of family consumption while mostly the buyers of starter feed are Farmers rearing Broiler birds for commercial purpose. Though for me I have never bought finisher feed before and this is because I rear birds for commercial purposes.
