The compound feed eaten by each chicken in a day is called the diet. The principle of determining the daily feed usage of each chicken is to maintain the normal life of the chicken and meet the needs of growth and development and egg production without causing the chicken to overeat. Chicken body is too fat and waste feed. When determining the daily feed usage, it is necessary to consider the type, breed, age, weight, egg production, and ambient temperature and condition of the chicken. Generally medium-sized egg-type chickens need 100 to 120 grams of meat per day. Use type chicken 135--160 grams. The daily feed usage of chicks and broilers is approximately as shown in the table below. In the breeding stage and during the laying period of broiler breeders, there are many restrictions on feeding methods. China Agricultural Network Editor
