Standard Broiler Feed Chart [Plus Expected Weight / Growth]

Standard Broiler Feed Chart [Plus Expected Weight / Growth]

by Akinbobola A. 43 Comments

Contents

  • Expected Broiler Weight Per Week & Feed Consumption Table
  • Broiler Weekly Feed Intake Chart and Weight / Growth Chart
  • Separate feeding by sexes for broilers

All broiler farmers want their broiler chickens to be big while they earn optimal profits from the birds. To achieve this, it is important to know the right or expected quantity of feed to give broiler chickens which usually comes as a broiler feed consumption chart. This is required to avoid wastage or overfeeding as well as allow the farmers to plan how to buy or produce feeds for the chickens.

With the broiler feed chart below, you will be able to answer the following questions related to feeding broilers. These questions include:

  1. What quantity of feed does broiler require before they reach market weight?
  2. What is the total quantity of feed required to feed broilers to maturity?
  3. What is the total quantity of feed consumed by a broiler per week?
  4. What is the growth rate of broilers?
  5. What is the average weight of a broiler each week?

From the above chart, it could be deduced that:

  • A broiler will consume approximately 1.2 kg of feed (broiler starter + grower) from week 1 to week 3
  • A broiler will weigh about 1.52 kg at the end of week 4
  • A broiler chicken will eat about 8.6 kg of feed (broiler finisher) from week 4 to week 9
  • A broiler will have an average body weight of 4.65 kg at the end of week 9

Kindly Note:

  • The above chart did not consider the sex of the broiler chicken.
  • The above is just a standard chart. It is meant to be a guide for you.

Separate feeding by sexes for broilers

When male and female broilers are being raised separately, there is an opportunity to increase profitability by using different feeding programs for each sex. The most practical method is to use the same feed for both sexes but reducing the feeding period for the growing and finishing stages for the female broilers. It is recommended that the duration of the initiation period be kept the same for both sexes in order to guarantee adequate early development.

          Feeds and Feeding might be the reason. Are you giving the same feed you gave the previous one, and in the same quantity? Are the birds from the same source and breed? Do you have the chart from the hatchery or vendor you procured them from?

    The last table at week 5 we have 1.186kg per birds. If that is correct are you saying we will be needing 593kg feed for 500 birds in their 5th week amounting to 23bags per day? Pls explain

    Reply
    • Akinbobola A. says

      July 5, 2018 at 3:54 pm

      The 1.186kg is the total feed consumed in the 5th week. So your assumption is wrong.

    I don’t understand why on 2nd week the chicken is weighing 0.45 yet on first week it was at 0.179. And on third it gose up to 800. Can someone please explain. Am confused

      You shouldn’t e confused. Broilers are known to grow faster than other chickens, even within a short time. So if you’re surprised because of the rapid weight increase, please don’t be. That is how it should be. By the way it is 0.8kg and not 800kg
