pellet quality, factors

[Muddasar]

Thanks, Muhammad. Daily showers, thorough cleaning, disinfecting, and changing clothes are key habits for maintaining strict biosecurity and keeping the farm disease-free.

[Muddasar]

Absolutely, Mohamed. Footbaths, changing footwear, and regular handwashing are simple but highly effective measures to reduce pathogen spread between flocks.

[Muddasar]

Thanks, Mohamed. I agree—consistent, high-quality pellets with minimal fines make a noticeable difference in growth, uniformity, and feed efficiency.

[Muddasar]

Absolutely, Muhammad. Switching to pelleted or crumbled feed clearly increases intake, reduces wastage, and improves digestibility and FCR.

[Muddasar]

Good points, Ahmed. I will evaluate mash vs pellets/crumbs over time & also ensure water is always available for the birds.

[Muddasar]

Thanks, Dr. Sb. Yes 3–4 hour intervals seem very helpful for digestion and growth while improving FCR.
