1. Calculation method of daily feed intake of laying hens

Before 10 days old: (day age+2)g

10-20 days old: (day age+1)g

20-50 days old: grams of material = day age

51-150 days old: 50+(day age-50)/2

over 150 days old: stable over 100g

Egg production peak: about 120g

According to the above calculation method, the cumulative consumption of one hen is about 8.84kg when it reaches 150 days age, and the annual consumption of laying hens is about 36.5kg, which can basically meet the needs of one hen laying eggs.

2. Calculation method of daily feed intake of broilers (based on Ross 308 broiler)

1-10 days old: the first day: 6g, then increase by 4g per day, such as: 7th days: 30g

11-20 days old: (day age-2)/10 *50 such as: 15th days: 65g

21-30 days old: (day age-1)/10 *50 such as: 26th days 125g

31-40 days old: daily age/10*50 such as: 35th days 175g

40-50 days old: 200g

Under normal circumstances, when fed with complete formula feed, each chicken eats 4.5kg in total, and the average weight can reach 2.5kg. Usually, the chickens should not exceed the daily feed intake during breeding. If it exceeds, the chickens are considered abnormal. In the process of feeding and management, it is necessary to appropriately limit their feed intake, otherwise, the chickens are prone to disease or difficult to control after the disease.
