The chick starter is a kind of grain feed that has the highest amount of protein. It looks a lot like grains of sand or dirt. The high protein amount is needed by the newly hatched chicks for it to grow quick and healthy. It is also in crumbles so that the chick can easily eat and swallow the chicken feeds. Feed the chick starter to the chicks that just hatched until they grow and graduate to the other kind of feeder, which is the grower feed at around 4-6 weeks of age.
The grower feed is a type of feed that has less protein than the chick starter, but still has more than layer feed, which is another type of feed. This type of feed is used to support the growth of the new chickens after 6 weeks of feeding with chick starter until they can lay their first eggs. The grower feed may either be crumbled or pellet type. Some people prefer the pellet type of grower feed for it is less wasted than the crumbled ones. But others prefer the crumbled type and they make it into a porridge looking feed so it will waste less, too.
The broiler feed is a type of feed that is has a very high amount of protein, much more higher that you want for your normal chicken feed. This feed has one purpose, for the chicken's fast growth and nothing else. This is what commercial chicken farms use for their chickens for fast produce and delivered fast to the slaughterhouses. The feed makes the chicken grow very fast that in 2 months, you'll have a full grown chicken
The cracked corn is a type of feed that is very cheap, but does not have enough protein and nutrients that the chicken need. It is a type of feed that is high in fat and very low in nutrients. Some people usually use cracked corn as a treat for their chickens or can be used as their feed during winter, where fats is needed.
The layer feed is another type of feed for all the mixed flock of chickens you have. Whether the flock has some egg laying hens and some young chickens or even some rooster. This is the all-around feed for all ages. However, feeding this type of feed to the hens that lays eggs means that the feed has less calcium that the hen needs for egg production, resulting in weak eggs and the bodies of those hens also weakens.
The Ross 308 breeder produces a high number of eggs combined with good hatchability to optimize chick cost in situations where broiler performance is important. The Ross 308 is recognized globally as a broiler that will give consistent performance in the broiler house. Integrated and independent producers value the growth rate, feed efficiency and robust performance of the Ross 308
The Ross 708 parent stock has been developed to maximize breeder performance without compromising the efficiency of meat production. the increasing demand for boneless meat places greater emphasis on maximizing meat yield.
The Ross 308 AP offers excellent live broiler and processing performance along with great feed conversion and growth rate. The feather-sexable Ross 308 AP benefits the market with low-cost production, combined with robustness and excellent uniformity

Pulses. A fancy word to describe the ever-so-delicious and protein-packed chickpeas, lentils, and dry peas. I am truly fascinated by the different types available and love picking up a new variety every time I go for my Indian groceries. My pantry now contains over 20 different varieties! Most of us are confused when it comes to referring to pulses, cereals or spices in English. Mostly because we are used to refer to these products in our regional names or Hindi. Hereâ??s a detailed glossary that will help you search for relevant English names for most of the food products that add to the distinct taste of the Indian cuisine. For ease of reference, the food products have been divided into four categories â?? Pulses, Cereals, Spices and Seeds and General. India contributes to 75% of global spice production. This is reflected culturally through their cuisine; historically, the spice trade developed throughout the Indian subcontinent, as well as in East Asia and the Middle East. Europeâ??s demand for spices was among the economic and cultural factors that encouraged exploration in the early modern period. The ongoing success of co-existence strategies has depended upon co-operation, communication, flexibility and mutual respect for each cropping system and among growers using these various systems. Over the years, growers have adapted to changes and innovations in agriculture by using new farm management practices, new technologies and other appropriate practices. It is incumbent upon a grower who is growing a crop to satisfy a particular market, to implement best practices to satisfy
Hybrids that are well-adapted to low plant populations generally have a robust plant type, sturdy stalks and big, hanging leaves. Commonly these hybrids correspondingly have a larger root mass. When these attributes are coupled with strong prolificacy, one would expect that this type of hybrid would be better adapted to varying climatic conditions such as those experienced in the western part of the maize production area. These hybrids generally perform better under drought stress situations since lower plant populations enable some buffering of water use during dry spells They can, however, compensate under good production conditions by producing a second ear.
Single-eared hybrids with a fixed or semi-flex ear usually have more upright leaves allowing better light penetration, reduced root mass and thinner more woody stalks. Hybrids exhibiting these characteristics can generally be employed at high plant populations and can deliver excellent yields under high potential conditions. These hybrids are generally better adapted to environments where water application or rainfall is more reliable
This is the most common type grown in SA. Dent formation on the top of the kernel having yellow or white colour. The depression or dent in the corn of the seed is the result of rapid drying and shrinkage. Of the soft starch
It is widely grown and cultivated in India. Endosperm of kernel is soft and starchy in the centre and completely enclosed by a very hard outer layer. The kernel is rounded on the top. The colour may be white or yellow. Grown in Europe, Asia, central America and South America. Flint corn is widely grown in India.
It possess exceptional qualities. Size of kernels is small but the endosperm is hard. When they are heated, the pressure build up within the kernel suddenly results in an explosion and the grain is turn out. Grains are used for human consumption and is the basis of popcorn confectionery. Its cultivation is mainly confined to new world.
The sugar and starch makes the major component of the endosperm that results in sweetish taste of the kernels before they attain the maturity and after maturity, the kernels become wrinkled. The cobs are picked up green for canning and table purpose. Mainly grown in North half of the USA.
