Poultry feed additives and water solutions, stage by stage
Broilers, layers, breeders: each stage has its own challenges, from the feed mill to the poultry house. Here, stage by stage, is what is at stake and the platforms that answer it, in the feed or through the drinking water.
Which feed additives for poultry, stage by stage?
Each stage links to the page that explains it and to the pages of the platforms concerned.
At the mill: sound feed, from silo to feeder
Mycotoxins in raw materials, moulds during storage, fats turning rancid: poultry feed quality is decided before delivery.
Brooding, the first week
Water at placement, temperature, access to feed: the first days set what follows. Drinking water is the fastest route to support the chicks.
Growth and digestion
A gut that works well gets more out of the feed: acidifiers, butyrate, monoglycerides, emulsifiers and plant extracts are chosen on the formula and the stage.
Heat waves
When the temperature rises, birds drink more and eat less: betaine in the feed, supplies and aromatic substances through the water.
Lay and eggshell
After peak lay, the shell weakens: calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D are set through the water, at the moments that matter.
Housing and litter
Wet litter releases ammonia: management first, then a drying agent on the litter and a yucca extract in the feed.
Frequently asked questions
Feed or drinking water: which route?
Feed is set at the mill, for the whole flock; drinking water acts fast, over a few days, when the bird needs it: brooding, heat, lay. The two routes work together.
How do I choose the right grade?
It depends on the species, the stage, the formula and the process. Describe your situation: we propose a grade, a rate and a way to use it.
