Ensure the feed supplies all the animal’s nutrient requirements.
Check your calculations.
Feed efficiency is a result of three main components: the quality of raw materials, the diet formulation, and the nutrient absorption by the animal.

Decide on the maximum and minimum allowances for each ingredient.

available ingredients, their characteristics, and prices.

Formulating animal feed involves creating a balanced diet that meets the nutritional needs of the animals, while ensuring the feed is safe, cost-effective, and sustainable. The guidelines governing feed formulation typically include the following considerations:
1. Nutritional Requirements:
Each species has specific nutritional needs based on age, weight, growth stage, reproductive status, and activity level.
Key nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.
2. Ingredient Quality and Availability:
Ingredients should be of high quality to ensure proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
The availability of ingredients may vary based on location, season, and market fluctuations.Formulating animal feed involves creating a balanced diet that meets the nutritional needs of the animals, while ensuring the feed is safe, cost-effective, and sustainable

It is the formulation of feeds that meets the nutritional requirements of the birds. The major components are carbohydrate (energy), proteins, fats (lipids), vitamins, minerals and limiting amino acids like lysine, methionine, threonine etc and other feed additives.

Final feed composition and compare with the essential nutrient requirements of the species for which the formula is intended.
