    The components used in feeding poultry include:

    1. Feed ingredients – such as grains, protein sources (like soybean meal), vitamins, and minerals.

    2. Water – essential for digestion and overall health.

    3. Feed additives – such as probiotics, enzymes, and growth promoters to improve digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health.

    4. Feed supplements – such as calcium and phosphorus to ensure proper bone development and egg production.

    5. Grit – small stones or particles that help poultry break down food in their gizzard.

    6. Medications – to prevent or treat diseases and parasites.

    7. Feeders and drinkers – containers used to provide access to feed and water for poultry.

    8. Housing and environment – providing a clean and comfortable living space for poultry to thrive and grow.

    9. Lighting – proper lighting is important to regulate growth rates, reproduction, and overall health of poultry.

    10. Management and care – regular monitoring, feeding schedules, and proper handling are essential components in poultry feeding.
