Garlic water is a commonly used feed additive that can improve the immunity of chickens and increase the nutritional value of chicken. Here's the right way to feed the chickens with garlic water:
Prepare the ingredients: fresh garlic, water, and a container (preferably a plastic bucket or glass bottle).
Garlic processing: Peel, chop or mash fresh garlic into a puree. Garlic can be processed using a blender or food processor, or it can be chopped or mashed by hand.
Add water: Put the chopped or mashed garlic in a container and add the right amount of water, usually 10-20 liters per kilogram of garlic. The temperature of the water is best room temperature or slightly warmer water, and do not use excessively hot or cold water.
Stir to mix: Mix the garlic and water well, using a blender or manual stirring to mix thoroughly.
Rest time: Place the mixed garlic water in a container with a lid and place it in a cool, dry place and let it ferment for 2-3 days or more. Yeast can increase the nutritional value of garlic water, making it easier to absorb.
Filtration: Before feeding, the fermented garlic water is filtered to remove garlic residue and other impurities.
Feeding volume and frequency: The amount and frequency of garlic water feeding should be determined based on the weight and quantity of the chickens. In general, 10-20 ml of garlic water per chicken per day is sufficient.
It should be noted that garlic water should not be fed in excess, otherwise it will cause indigestion, diarrhea and other problems. When feeding garlic water, attention should be paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of the water, and make sure that the water and containers are clean before feeding. At the same time, garlic water cannot replace normal feed, and should be used as a feed additive and used in combination with other feeds.
