CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to deal with leftover large pellets in chicken feed

Large particles left in chicken feed are one of the common problems in the breeding process. These large particles not only waste feed resources, but also affect the feeding efficiency and growth and development of chickens. Therefore, it is very important to take appropriate measures to deal with these large particles.

1. Screening Chicken Food

A simple and effective method is to separate large particles from fine particles by screening the chicken feed. You can use some specially designed sieves or place a filter device in the feeder for screening. This can greatly reduce the waste of large particles and improve the feed utilization rate of the chickens.

2. Manual crushing

If you don't have a sieve or filter, you can try to use a manual crushing method to deal with large particles. Crush the large particles or gently hit them with a hammer to make them smaller and easier for the chickens to eat. Be careful to crush them gently to avoid creating too many fine particles.

3. Humidification

Wetting is another way to treat large pellets in chicken feed. Soak the chicken feed in a moderate amount of warm water to soften the large pellets and make them easier for the chickens to eat. Be careful to control the soaking time to avoid over-wetting and causing the feed to deteriorate.

4. Change feed form

If the problem of large particles in chicken feed persists for a long time, you can consider changing the feed form. For example, choose a feed with smaller particle size or use pellet feed instead of pellet feed to meet the chicken's feeding needs.

In summary, the remaining large particles in the chicken feed can be processed by screening, manual crushing, humidification and conversion of feed form. Choose a processing method that suits your own feeding method and conditions, and pay attention to controlling the time and temperature during the processing to improve the feed utilization and growth and development of the chickens.
