Proper feed conversion efficiency in broilers boosts weight gain, growth and performance hence increasing farm income generation. Furthermore, broilers convert feeds best between week 1 to week 3, and afterward the feed conversion rate reduces. Some of the causes of poor feed conversion efficiency include stress, diseases, poor quality feeds as well as poor bird spacing in the chicken houses.

 Boosting feed conversion

Always, provide broilers with feeds, clean water, and light at all times from week 1 to week 3. Additionally, also from week 1 to week 3 prevent disease outbreaks. Furthermore, after week 3 you should reduce feeding hours to reduce stress however water should be there at all times and never starve broilers for more than 4 hours.
