It helps in maintaining uniformity and achieving higher production peaks. The feeding programme should be balanced and designed to reduce selective eating. 2Intake Development During feed training, the focus is on developing the birds' intake capacity. This involves ensuring that the birds learn to eat balanced meals and meet their nutritional requirements. Proper intake development supports gut health and overall growth. 4Stimulation based on Body Weight and Uniformity Feed training includes stimulating the birds based on their body weight and uniformity to ensure they receive the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and development. This helps in achieving a balanced production profile. 5Monitoring and Adjustments Regular monitoring of body weight, uniformity, and crop checking are essential during feed training. Adjustments to the feeding programme may be needed based on visual signs and the birds' development. 1Feed Training Begins Feed training starts early in the rearing stage and is essential for developing the birds’ intake capacity and feeding patterns. This period is crucial for imprinting future productivity and behavioural instincts. FEED TRAINING Feed training is a crucial part of the preparation period for poultry, and it involves several key aspects to ensure the birds develop proper feeding habits and intake capacity.
