If we talk about feed type or feed ration then it could be started with Pre starter crumbs for 3-5 days.

Then we can shift it to starter ration from 3-5th day onwards till 10th day of age.

Then it is better to go for grower ration with inclusion of 10-25% in starter ration on weekly basis so that 4th week of age is completely finished.

Then it comes the finisher ration till the age of marketing/slaughtering.
