Our poultry feeds are formulated to high specifications and with quality ingredients to achieve optimum performance and bird health. We know that consistency is key when it comes to feeding poultry, which is why our feeds are kept as consistent as possible and quality checked by our quality control department.
Our commitment to research gives our customers confidence in our products. Independent research trials and commercial farm trials provides the knowledge to deliver precision nutrition for the modern poultry farming.
Chick Starter
Laying hens at maturity (around 22 weeks of age) require a 16 to 18 percent protein level and extra calcium and minerals for strong eggshells. Our layer feed ranges have been designed for specific commercial breeds, with the energy, amino acid levels, and other nutrients based on breeder recommendations.
Pullet Grower
After chick starter, young pullets that are destined for a laying flock are put on a lower-protein diet to slow growth to allow strong bones and adult body weight before laying begins. If the protein is too high, development happens quickly and the birds lay too early. Grower pullet rations typically have 18 percent protein and are fed until the chicks are 14 weeks of age.
Pullet Finisher
At 14 weeks, young pullets can be lowered to a 16 percent protein feed until they begin laying. Some feedlines don’t distinguish between this stage and the grower stage and just have a grower-finisher that is somewhere in the middle protein-wise.
Layer Feeds
Exactly what it sounds like, chick starter is for the first (usually six) weeks of chick’s lives. This is typically 22 to 24 percent protein for broiler starter and 20 percent protein for laying breeds.
This breed-specific approach maximizes peak lay and allows for greater control over egg size and shell quality. We advise not to feed layer rations to birds younger than this age as it damages their kidneys due to the high amounts of calcium and phosphorus. Our customers consistently exceed breeder performance targets in both egg numbers and egg weight.
Broiler Feeds
These high-protein feeds are for meat birds that grow extremely fast. Broiler rations are typically 20 to 22 percent protein. This is sometimes called “grower-finisher” feed. For heritage and pastured meat birds, protein content can be lowered to 16 percent after 12 weeks of age until butchering. Some may choose to keep the heritage meat birds on the higher grower-finisher rations until slaughter. Mukhtar Feeds contain higher percentage of protein targeted amino acids to support rapid growth and help broiler chickens reach market weight efficiently. All unique nutrients meat birds need each day at the proper levels are included in the bag, no need to supplement.
