Vitamin deficiency in chickens can be prevented through the formulation of nutritionally balanced rations incorporating appropriate levels of vitamin premixes, ensuring proper storage of feed to avoid degradation, and periodic supplementation via water-soluble vitamins, especially during stress or disease conditions.

TURKEYS
Turkey feed is very similar to broiler
feed. However, turkeys are prone
to selective feeding. making pellet
quality a high-priority. The recipes
for turkey feed also have a higher
total fat content which results
in a higher pelleting capacity
compared to broiler feed. Turkey
feed, like broiler feed, is also
subdivided into starter, grower, and
finisher recipes, with increased fat
content towards the end of life.
Turkeys are very sensitive and
may die from foreign substances
introduced by carry-over from
mixers, bins, and conveyor
equipment, as well as bad mixing
quality. These foreign substances
may originate from conventional
broiler feed manufacturing like
coccidiostats (Salinomycin). -
