Cutting feed costs without reducing bird performance is one of the smartest moves a poultry farmer can make. Here’s exactly how you can achieve it.

1. Introduce Local Feed Ingredients
   Instead of relying only on commercial feed, start mixing in locally available ingredients like
   ~ Maize bran
   ~ Groundnut cake
   ~ Palm kernel cake
   ~ Fish waste
   ~ Vegetables and kitchen scraps.
2. Start Fermenting Feed
   Learn how to ferment grains (like maize and wheat bran) with water for 24–48 hours. This makes the nutrients more digestible and increases appetite—birds eat less but grow more.
3. Use Natural Supplements
   Add garlic, ginger, moringa, and pawpaw seeds to boost immunity and reduce antibiotic expenses.
4. Free-Range During Day
   Allow birds (especially Noilers and local breeds) to scavenge during the day, cutting feed consumption and improving their health naturally.
5. Batch Feeding & Proper Timing
   Switch to feeding at specific hours early morning and late afternoon. It reduces waste and trains the birds to eat effectively.

Result: Feed cost drops by half, bird health improves, mortality reduces, and you will start making more profit than before.

Simple changes, big impact. Keep following Mute poultry farming.
