To compare feed texture and appearance to standards, you need to use specific industry standards or internal guidelines for the particular feed type, as there isn’t a universal standard for all feeds. First, understand what a standard entails for your specific feed, as it usually defines minimum quality levels in terms of nutritional value and physical appearance. Then, use a Texture Analyzer to measure textural properties like hardness, springiness, or durability, and a visual inspection or colorimeter for appearance. Comparing these measurements against the established criteria will determine if the feed meets the required standards

Artificial intelligence can play an important role in efficient management in poultry farms.
AI can be used for real time monitoring of birds and the micro climate conditions in poultry farms
AI can also be used for early detection of infection/ disease, so that the spread of disease and the mortality can be minimised.

Depends on what kind of immune boosters are used, duration of supplementation and the health condition of the birds.
Too many immune boosters given at once can be negative.
Giving many immune boosters when the birds are stressed or having an infection can also be negative
Decide whether it’s really necessary to use them and avoid using multiple immune boosters

During heat stress, birds take less feed and consume more water to keep their body cool. This cause more water excretion in faeces causing loose droppings.

Choosing a right breed depends on purpose (egg/meat/ hatching egg),
Breeds/ strains available in your area to be considered
Size of the farm, individual or contract/integration matters
Among the available strains in your, locality, to choose a strain, do a thorough research to know their performance, efficiency, demand, disease resistance, mortality, cost etc

What is the main objective of feed formulation?

How can feed analysis of different samples of one type of feed have different results?

Please specify whether it’s for layers or broilers

is there any any antagonism when we use immunity boosters together?
-
A current feed analysis is correlated with previous analyses by establishing trends, verifying consistency, and informing future decisions. By comparing results, one can identify changes in nutritional content due to factors like weather or genetics, ensure ingredient quality hasn’t degraded, and adjust feed formulation to meet animal needs. This comparison is vital for maintaining animal health, optimizing production, and preventing formulation errors or manufacturing issues, making feed analysis a continuous process of monitoring and refinement.
