Principles of Local Chicken Feed Formula
Goal: meet nutrient requirements (by stage) at the lowest cost for maximum meat/egg output. Avoid single-feed practices; balance energy, protein, minerals, vitamins and additives.
- Follow standards, flexibly: adjust for breed, age, climate, management, raw materials; verify with small feeding tests.
- Economics first: prioritize nutrient-dense, low-cost, local ingredients (e.g., sweet potato/pumpkin to partly replace cereals when appropriate).
- Palatability & quality: no moldy/pungent/toxic raw materials; avoid too-fine powder; prefer pelletizing to reduce pickiness.
- Diversity: more ingredient types → better nutrient complementation & utilization.
- Stability: change rations gradually (≈1 week transition), especially for layers.
- Inbound QC: test every batch (nutrients, authenticity); trial revised formulas 2 weeks before large-scale use.
- Storage care: control temperature/humidity/ventilation; rodent/water/fire protection; use within 2–4 weeks; mix premixes right before feeding.
Common Proportions (Local Chicken Feed Raw Materials)
- Energy: Corn 40–60%, Wheat 5–10%, Broken rice 5–10%, Bran 5–15%, Oil 1–2%
- Protein: Soybean meal 15–20%, Rapeseed meal 2–5% (not for breeders), Cottonseed meal 2–4% (not for breeders), Peanut meal 5–10%, Fish meal 1–2% (chick stage)
- Minerals: Stone powder 1–1.5% (grower) / 7–8% (layer), Dicalcium phosphate or bone meal 1–1.5%, Salt 0.3–0.4%
- Additives: Trace elements 0.2–0.5%, Vitamins 200–400 g/T, Methionine 0.1–0.2%, Lysine 0.1–0.2%

(2) Grazing fattening — supplementary feed
Chickens forage grass/insects/seeds; supplement mainly energy + minerals (and some protein).
| Raw material | Formula A | Formula B | Formula C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corn | 60 | 61 | 67 |
| Soybean meal | 18 | 18 | 20 |
| Bran | 7 | 5 | 2.5 |
| Bran shorts | 5 | 4 | 0 |
| Peanut meal | 6 | 6 | 7 |
| Oil | 1 | 3 | 0.5 |
| Stone meal | 1.2 | 1.2 | 1.2 |
| Bone meal | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| Salt | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Trace element additives | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
Note: Always align with local regulations, raw material analyses, and stage-specific nutrient specs. Trial new formulas on a small group before scale-up.
Processing of Compound Feed for Native Chicken
(1) Plant & process design
Process should suit varied materials, use compact layouts, advanced/measurable KPIs, safe operation & isolation of dust/noise zones. Large multi-formula plants: adopt automated program control. Small lines: manual metering/ingredients acceptable.
(2) Complete production process
- Raw material storage: typically 15–30 days’ capacity; trend toward bulk handling to cut bag costs.
- Cleaning: remove impurities and ferrous metals for production safety.
- Crushing: target particle sizes per stage/pellet aperture (e.g., <1 mm chicks; ~2 mm grower for Ø4.5 mm pellets; 2–2.5 mm adult for Ø6 mm pellets).
- Batching: accurate dosing (auto weighing/batching recommended).
- Mixing: CV ≤ 10% for uniformity.
- Pelletizing system: crush → batch → mix → steam condition → pellet → cool → screen → pack. Early-stage often pellets via Ø2.5–3.0 mm ring die then post-crush/classify; later-stage typically Ø2.0–3.0 mm with no re-crush.
- Packaging & logistics: 40 kg or 5–10 kg woven bags; stack on pallets; observe shelf-life on labels.
