National Foods Launches 35day Broiler Program for Farmers

Poultry farmers seeking solutions for slow-growing broilers, low feed conversion rates, and high production costs may find answers in scientifically formulated feeding programs. Modern poultry nutrition systems can deliver market-ready chickens weighing approximately 2 kilograms in just 35 days through precisely staged feeding protocols.

The complete feeding program consists of three specialized formulations designed to meet broilers' nutritional requirements at different growth stages:

Key Features:

• High calcium and protein content (21.5% crude protein) supports rapid bone and muscle development
• Crumbled texture facilitates easy consumption by chicks

Feeding Protocol:

• Free-feeding from day 1 to day 12
• Gradual transition to grower feed between days 11-14
• Expected consumption: 0.35 kg per chick

Key Features:

• Available in crumble or 3.5mm pellet forms
• 19% crude protein supports lean muscle growth while controlling fat deposition

Feeding Protocol:

• Complete transition by day 14
• Gradual pellet introduction between days 15-18
• Expected consumption: 1.5 kg per bird

Key Features:

• 4.5mm pellet size
• 18% crude protein with higher energy content

Feeding Protocol:

• Full transition by day 26
• Free-feeding until processing (recommended by day 35)
• Expected consumption: 1.8 kg per bird

The feeding system incorporates specialized additives to ensure optimal growth and health:

• Coccidiostats: Rotation program prevents resistance development
• Enzyme supplements: Enhance feed efficiency and digestibility
• Mycotoxin binders: Protect against potential feed contaminants

Farmers with access to corn may utilize a concentrated feed supplement (37.5% crude protein) to create custom starter and finisher blends through specific mixing ratios with ground corn.
