Feed time

[Manimaran Jeyaseelan]

In poultry production sheds, the recommended feeding schedule generally involves providing feed for 12 hours and then removing it for 12 hours. This means the feed is available for half the day and then absent for the other half. Water, however, should be available at all times.

<strong data-start=”373″ data-end=”413″ style=”letter-spacing: 0.24px;”>a. Feed should be available almost 24/7, especially in the first 3 weeks.

b. After 3 weeks, you can follow:

<strong data-start=”485″ data-end=”521″ style=”letter-spacing: 0.24px;”>c. 16–18 hours of feed access daily

d. Remove feed for <strong data-start=”542″ data-end=”564″ style=”letter-spacing: 0.24px;”>4–6 hours at night to improve gut rest and health.

<strong data-start=”599″ data-end=”621″ style=”letter-spacing: 0.24px;”>e. 2–3 feeding checks per day to top up feeders and avoid spoilage or wastage.

<b data-start=”685″ data-end=”719″ style=”letter-spacing: 0.24px;”><strong data-start=”692″ data-end=”719″>2. For Layers (18+ weeks): Use <strong data-start=”726″ data-end=”748″ style=”letter-spacing: 0.24px;”>controlled feeding to optimize egg production and avoid obesity.

Standard schedule:

<strong data-start=”820″ data-end=”848″ style=”letter-spacing: 0.24px;”>a. Morning Feeding (6–8 AM) – 60% of the daily ration

<strong data-start=”879″ data-end=”909″ style=”letter-spacing: 0.24px;”>b. Afternoon Feeding (1–3 PM) – 30–35%
