Broiler feeds are very costly, however, using banana flour in correct ratios helps to reduce the costs involved in feeding broiler birds. Additionally, banana contains nutrients like starch, proteins, fibers, and potassium which are essential for broiler growth and performance. When birds are 28- 42 days, days old add 20% of the flour into their feeds regularly until you sell them off this facilitates weight gain and profit generation. However, do not exceed the amount of banana flour to be added in broiler feeds as this can cause poor digestion and low absorption of nutrients.

Banana flour benefits

Banana flour is very advantageous in poultry farming as it contributes to gut health thus creating a favorable environment for digestive enzymes. Additionally, it also increases feed intake since bananas contain a lot of fiber. Lastly, banana flour also facilitates increased weight gain as well as increased growth rate in broiler birds.

Preparation steps

Start by selecting good quality bananas, thereafter peel them properly and chop them into pieces to facilitate a faster drying process. Thereafter sun dry the chopped bananas and thereafter grind them into flour before adding them to feeds.
