-I changed my Kari Improved Kienyeji chickens from commercial feeds at 12 weeks to home-made mash containing maize germ, whole maize, omena and sunflower cake.
-I also add premixes and amino acid supplements. At six months, the birds weigh 1.5kg. Is this weight ideal for age?
Productivity in animals is dependent on genetics, feed conversion efficiency, diseases and feed quality. In my case, the birds weigh between 2 and 2.5 kilos at six months.
If your home-made feeds meet the right balance for carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals and you mix uniformly, you may need to subject the raw materials for quality assessment to ensure they meet the recommended per cent protein.
