👇🐔Poor timing in feeding broiler chickens

Poor timing is not about what feed you use,
it’s about when and how you give it.

1️⃣ Late morning feeding

When birds wake up hungry and feed comes late:

They overeat suddenly

Digestion is poor

Feed conversion drops

👉 Always feed early morning.

2️⃣ Heavy feeding during hot afternoon 🌡️

This is a common mistake.

Birds don’t eat well in heat

Feed stays in the feeder

Wastage increases

👉 Reduce feed during hot hours.
Main feeding should be early morning and evening.

3️⃣ Irregular feeding time

Today 7am, tomorrow 11am.

Birds love routine.
Irregular timing causes stress and uneven growth.

👉 Feed at same time daily.

4️⃣ Overfeeding at night

Some farmers pour plenty feed at night.

Birds overeat

Water belly risk

Sudden death at night

👉 Moderate feeding at night, not excess.

5️⃣ Feeding without enough water

Feed without water is dangerous.

Birds eat and choke

Digestion slows

Growth reduces

👉 Water must come before feed, always.

6️⃣ Ignoring age and growth stage

Same feeding style from day-old to 6 weeks?

That’s poor timing.

Chicks eat little but often.
Older birds eat more but need timing control.

Simple feeding rhythm that works

Early morning: main feeding

Afternoon: light feed (if weather is cool)

Evening: second main feeding

Water: 24/7, clean and cool

Farmer truth

Feed given at the wrong time
is as bad as poor-quality feed.

Good timing improves:

Growth

Feed conversion

*Knowledge is key*
*What is the biological phenomenon that appears in human gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function when they are growing older?*

This is known as *Sarcopenia*!

*Sarcopenia* is a gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function... the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength as a result of aging... The situation may be terrible, depends on individual.

Let's explore & analyze multiple ways to prevent *sarcopenia* thus:
1. Develop the habit, if you're able to stand... just don't sit, and don't lie down if you can sit!

2. Whenever an elderly person falls ill, and get admitted to the hospital, do not ask him/her for more rest, or to lie down, relax and/or not get out of bed... It's not helpful. Help them take a walk... Except if they lost stamina to do so.

Lying down for a week causes loss of at least 5% of muscle mass! And unfortunately, the elderly can't recover the loss muscles!

Usually, most seniors/elderly who hire assistants loses muscle faster than the active ones!

3. *Sarcopenia* is more terrifying than osteoporosis!

With osteoporosis, one just need to be careful not to fall, while sarcopenia not only affects the quality of life but also causes high blood sugar due to insufficient muscle mass!

4. The fastest loss of muscles (atrophy) is through idleness in muscles of the legs...

Because when in sitting or lying position, the legs do not move, and the strength of the muscles of the legs are directly affected... This is especially important to pay unto utmost attention!

Going up and down stairs... walking, running and cycling are all great exercises, and can increase muscle mass!

For a better quality of life at old age... Move... & don't waste your muscles!!

Aging starts from the feet upwards!

Keep your legs active and strong!!

▪️ As we grow older on a daily basis, our feet should always stay active and strong.

If you don't move your legs for just 2 weeks, your real leg strength will decrease by 10 years.

Therefore, *regular exercises such as walking, cycling etc. are very important*.

The feet are a kind of columns that bear the entire weight of the human body.... So,

*_Walk every day!_*
