📌 *BROILER NUTRITION — WHAT THIS GRAPH IS REALLY TEACHING US*
This chart shows something many farms needs to see👀
🔴 Protein goes *DOWN* with age
⚫ Energy goes *UP* with age
But here’s the real lesson 👇
🟢 *STARTER (0–10/14 days)*
Chicks are building organs, muscles, enzymes & immunity
They need HIGH protein + balanced amino acids, not excess energy
Too much energy here = fat chicks, weak frame
🟤 *GROWER (11/15–24 days)*
This is the transition phase
Protein and energy must be well balanced
Mistake many farms make: jumping too early to finisher
👉 This is where FCR is either made or destroyed
🔴 *FINISHER (25 days to market)*
Birds now eat more for weight gain, not body building
Energy becomes *king*, protein drops
Excess protein here = wasted money + wet droppings
⚠️ *Common Farm Errors*
Using starter too long ❌ (expensive feed, slow weight gain)
Skipping grower ❌ (poor uniformity, high FCR)
High protein finisher ❌ (no benefit, higher cost)
🎯 *Key Take-Home*
Feed is not just about nutrients — it’s about timing.
Right feed ❌ at the wrong age = poor performance.
