Profitability decisions with poultry feed ingredients

A balanced ration is the one which will supply different nutrients in right proportions according to the requirements for maintenance and various productive functions. The nutrients required by poultry must be supplied in rations through the ingredients available in sufficient quantity economically. – TNAU Agritech Portal

Cheapest isn’t always best.

In fact, ‘cheap’ – for the sake of ‘immediate savings’ often deceives of future returns. And therefore, far better is to make the quality investment today for the promise of advantage tomorrow. But it takes courage to fight the temptation.

Feeding constitutes the fundamental and major management concern in poultry production since major expenditure (60-70%) in poultry rising is feed cost. – TNAU Agritech Portal

And because of the vast portion of the cost of rearing poultry arising from feed cost, we could almost be forgiven for shortchanging on feed.

But without:

(a) the right unconventional ingredients
(b) the right proportions
(c) at the right economic availability

…our poultry businesses just are not viable.
