Formulating a complete feed step by step: broiler, then layer
Lesson 2 stopped at a mix that was right in protein but too poor in energy and methionine. That is exactly where most farm formulas stop too, and that is why they disappoint. This lesson goes all the way: an eight-step procedure, applied first to a broiler grower feed, then to a layer feed, with every nutrient checked, every correction explained, and the final table in kilos per 100 kg that can be posted in the workshop. At the end, you will have two complete formulas and, above all, the method to write others with your own raw materials.

- ✓Apply the eight-step procedure to build a complete feed from the targets of a phase
- ✓Check a formula nutrient by nutrient (energy, protein, lysine, methionine, calcium, available phosphorus, sodium) and correct what is missing
- ✓Produce the final table in kilos per 100 kg of a broiler grower feed and a layer feed
- ✓Convert a formula for 100 kg into weighings for a 500 kg batch and write it on a production sheet
