TopFeed for Growers
- The feed for growers is aimed at achieving a higher growth rate, higher feed utilization rate, and low disease incidences at the early stage of life of growing birds including pullets.
- The most common cause of problems in poultry production is a failure to provide commercially prepared feed.
- The second most common problem is the failure to use a fortified supplement in the correct proportions.
- Without a nutritionally balanced ration, birds will suffer from poor feathering, slow growth, and leg problems.
- If you keep birds for egg production, a source of calcium such as limestone or oyster shell must be included in the diet.
Grower Feed
Grower feed is basically the dietary requirements for birds between 6 to 20 weeks old. Essentially grower feed contains a protein content that is between 16-18% but has less calcium than regular layer feed. Thus, it supports the continuing growth of without bombarding them with unnecessary vitamins and minerals that are more suited for fully grown laying hens. Once the growers start laying eggs that’s a good sign that they are ready for layer feed.

Poultry feed
Unlike feeds for ruminants, poultry diets are usually complete feeds and supply the total daily requirements apart from water. These feed help to maximize production whether it be for eggs, meat or rearing replacements. Essentially, broiler varieties of chicken feed are denser in protein, which encourages the flock to grow bigger, faster.
Mash
- This is a loose and unprocessed version of chicken feed. Similar to the texture of potting soil, the mash is the finest variety of chicken feed commonly available. Mash is normally used for chicks, as it is easy to digest, however it is not uncommon for fully mature birds to be fed mash. The main issue with mash varieties of chicken feed is that its texture often results in an increase of incidental waste.
Crumbled Feed
- In simple terms crumble is a coarse variety of mash but not as compact of pellets. Reminiscent of the texture of oatmeal, crumble is a semi-loose variety of chicken feed that is slightly easier to manage than mash. This feed acts as a gap between mash and pellets as most birds prefer the crumbly texture.
