Why do you keep the feed residue in the trough when raising chicken?

The cost of raising chickens is also very high. After all, it is necessary to use poultry farming cage, chicken equipment, septic equipment, Chicken Breeding Equipment Machinery, etc., which are not small expenses, and chicken feeds are even more so, so we are feeding chickens. At the time, it is necessary to save chicken feed so as not to waste the cost of chicken feed. Reasons are as follows

One is to ensure that the flock consumes the full price of the nutrients. The feeding of laying hens generally uses dry powder. Due to the different particle size and specific gravity of the feed, the chickens tend to pick up larger granules first, and the powdery materials are at the bottom of the tank. If the chicken does not eat powdery materials for a long time, it will inevitably lead to imbalance of nutrients and affecting egg production and health.

The second is to keep the chickens good appetite. After the chickens have eaten the feed in the trough, they can add new feed when the chicken is hungry, which can increase the appetite of the chicken and speed up the feeding.

Third, it is conducive to preserving feed nutrition. If the feed is stored in the trough for too long, many nutrients such as vitamins are oxidatively decomposed. Causes loss or deficiency of feed nutrition.

Fourth, it can prevent the mildew and deterioration of the feed. If the feed accumulates at the bottom of the tank for a long time, it is easy to get wet and agglomerate, or moldy and deteriorate, it will lose nutrients, and the chicken will affect health and productivity after eating.

Fifth, it can reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Give the chicken intestines an emptying time to effectively reduce the occurrence of muscle gland gastritis.

If too much feed is put in a single dose to allow it to eat ad libitum, it is easy to cause the feed to deteriorate, and it is easy to cause food poisoning in the chicken. In addition, the chicken may cause pollution and waste of the feed during the activity, and the chicken is sufficient when the food is sufficient. There is no tension, and the total amount of food eaten is not much.
