Wheat is a kind of energy feed for chickens, which is rich in nutrients and good palatability, and is often used to feed chickens in chickens to promote the growth and development of chickens. But it is not just a matter of giving chickens wheat to raise good chickens, and there are many precautions that farmers need to understand.
1. The nutritional value of wheat.
Wheat is rich in starch, protein, fat, minerals and vitamins, among which starch is the main energy of chickens, protein is the necessary nutrients for the growth and development of chickens, fat can provide the fatty acids and energy required by chickens, minerals and vitamins are also necessary for the normal physiological function of chickens.
Second, the feeding method of wheat.
1.Wheat can be fed directly. When feeding chickens, wheat can be directly fed to chickens, but care needs not to cook or roast wheat, which will lose the nutrients of wheat. It is best to wash it with water and feed it directly.
2.Wheat can be processed into wheat bran. Wheat bran is the product of wheat grinding into flour, with high nutritional value and good palatability, which can improve the appetite of chickens and promote their growth and development.
3.Wheat can be used in combination with other feeds. Wheat can be used with corn, soybean meal, fishmeal and other feeds, which can ensure the comprehensiveness and balance of nutrition, so that chickens can obtain more comprehensive nutrients.
3. Feeding precautions.
1.Control the amount of feeding. When feeding, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the amount of wheat feeding, and excessive use of wheat may cause problems such as indigestion in chickens. Generally speaking, an adult chicken can eat about 50-100 grams of wheat per day, and the specific feeding amount should be adjusted according to factors such as chicken breed, growth stage and health status.
2.Pay attention to the quality of the wheat. When buying wheat, pay attention to the quality, try to choose high-quality wheat, and avoid buying moldy and spoiled wheat. At the same time, when using wheat, it is also necessary to pay attention to check the quality of wheat, and if it is found that there is a peculiar smell or spoiled wheat, it should be dealt with in time.
3.Reasonable mix of feed. Although wheat is a nutritious feed, it is not enough to simply feed chickens with wheat, and it needs to be used in combination with other feeds to ensure comprehensive and balanced nutrition. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to supplementing minerals such as calcium and phosphorus and nutrients such as vitamins to ensure the normal physiological function of chickens.
4.Pay attention to the feeding method. Be careful not to let the chickens over-grab when feeding, so as to avoid digestive problems caused by over-grabbing. Wheat and other feed can be mixed evenly and fed to the chickens, while also taking care to ensure that the drinking water is sufficient and clean.
In short, in the process of raising chickens, it is necessary to pay attention to the above aspects of the chickens, and at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the growth and health status of the chickens, and adjust the feed formula and feeding amount in time to ensure the normal growth and development of the chickens.
