Poultry feeds
Unlike feeds for ruminants, poultry diets are usually complete feeds and supply the total daily requirements, apart from water. These feeds help to maximize production be it for eggs, meat, or rearing replacements. Essentially, broiler varieties of chicken feeds are denser in protein, which encourages the flock to grow bigger, faster.
Floor space, feeder space, and drinker space
The floor space requirement of broilers varies depending on their body weight at the point of marketing, housing systems, marketing age, and ambient temperature. The feeder and drinker space also varies depending on the environmental temperature and the health condition of the birds. The following table contains the approximate floor, feeder, and drinker space requirements for broilers.
| Age | Floor space/ bird | Feeder space/ bird | Drinker space/bird |
| Up to 18 days | 450 cm²
(0.5 sq.ft.) |
3 cm | 1.5 cm |
| From 19 days to 42 days | 1000 cm² (1.1 sq.ft.) | 6-7 cm | 3 cm |
