How to cut chicken feed costs by 50% by simply fermenting poultry feed

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

This video is going to teach you how to cut your backyard chicken feed bill, not by formulating your own home made chicken feed, but by simply fermenting chicken feed. Fermenting chicken feed is an easy and much healthier way of feeding your backyard chickens.
ALSO WATCH Broilers VS Layers VS Free range chickens • Broilers VS Layers VS ...
The fermented whole grains provide good gut health, requires less feed per serving, and is a simpler way of unlocking nutrients from the grains. Fermented chicken feed can also be fed to all homestead chickens ducks, guinea fowls, turkeys, and quails. Also note that broiler chickens, road runner chickens or free-range chickens, layer chickens, day-old chicks, ducks, geese, turkeys or guinea fowls can all eat fermented feed.
When you ferment chicken feed or duck feed or poultry feed, you are basically making your chickens, ducks or poultry eat less and get full as if they ate a lot. Not only that, you are also helping your birds extract as much nutrients from the feed as possible, something that you would not easily attain had you not fermented the feed.
So this video will explain the advantages of using fermented chicken feed, then go on to teach you how to ferment chicken feed or duck feed or any other poultry feed and you will also learn the Dos and Donts of chicken feed fermentation.

    A recent video I watched by one of my mentors says you should not drain the water cos you would be loosing some healthy nutrients contained on the grain... Rather, you should add dry grains to the already fermented feeds so that it can mix up with the excess water in the fermented feed and no nutrient would be lost.

    That is not a good idea either. A study I saw showed that shortly soaked food fills the chicken up resulting in less food consumption in turn leaving the chicken less nourished and it also slows egg production.

    @@richl2723 I see. It seems to me that the concern that nutrients leech into the water and would get lost if drained off is a valid one and that fermentation itself would result in less feed consumed because of the "bloating". Have you stumbled upon a better way of feeding with fermented stuff that avoids these issues?

    @Norb Well, water doesn't get drained off. Short soaking just adds water weight to the feed, resulting in the birds feeling fuller while actually consuming less food. Like people drinking lots of water, then eating dinner. That's where the bloating is. Im no fermenting expert, but from the way I understand it is, more nutrients are gained and absorbed by the birds, using half the food. No bloating here. The fermented food is 100% in nutrients and double the dry weight. What I've noticed is that my adults eat a bit less. Chicks are pigs!

    Hi Irmore. You can start giving the broilers and the layers fermented feeds from day one. However, kindly make sure that they finish what you give them within a day and that the chicks won't sit on the wet feed, so if you are not willing to keep adding more and more fermented feed within a single day, its best to give them fermented feed after a week or 2 when they grow older.

    Yes you can feed your broiler chickens with fermented feed. You can start feeding your chickens fermented feed from day 1, provided the feeders u use are not trays, because we wouldn't want the baby chicks to get wet while eating. you should ferment the feed for about 3 days, it warm climatic areas such as Africa don't go beyond 3 days. For illustrative purposes, if you ferment feed on Monday morning, feed the chickens that fermented feed on Thursday morning.

    Yes you can ferment feed for your turkeys, pullets and broiler chickens. Although you can ferment for one day, however the results won't be as good as feed fermented for 3 days. So please allow the feed to ferment for a minimum of complete 72 hours before feeding your poultry.

    Thank you PCM. There is no specific amount of water that you use when fermenting chicken feed. All you need to do is to put your poultry feed in a bucket then add water until all chicken feed is submerged in water. Making sure that all the poultry feed is covered with water helps prevent molds from contaminating your fermenting chicken feed before the fermentation process has completed.

    is a good method but i feel, you are just going to loss some important Nutrient in the feed because after the Fermentation you then have to make sure you get rid of the water in the feed which to me I think is bad because that water will be hosing much of the Nutrients that has been dissolved into the water and you just have take that water out.

    no, not at all. the nutrients remain locked in the feed, the water has just softened the feed so that the nutrients can easily be absorbed by the animals. You will realise that the total amount of nutrients a body absorbs when feeding on fermented feed is much more than what it absorbs when feeding on the very same feed but not fermented. In other words, dry feed produces more nutrient wastage than fermented feed. This will be proved when you have your chickens, you separate them into 2 groups, you give the first group fermented feed, and you give the second group dry feed. You will see a vast difference in growth rate and egg production when the laying time comes.

    All grains and all commercial feed can be fermented. However, greens such as vegetables and cabbage leaves as well as kitchen waste is what one should never ferment. But then greens and kitchen waste usually are treats, it wouldn't be a good idea to make that your chickens' primary meal. So you only ferment constitutes primary meal, and most cases its grains and/or commercial chicken feed (which is also made of grains anyway)

    please answer my doubts one by one 1)in what age of chicken should I start to give them fermented food, should I start from day 1 or day 5 something LIKE THAT or should I start in the age one month after. 2) first we need to soak the company feed into the water, then in 3 days after seeing the form like bubbles it's completely fermented, we need to drain the water and feed it right away. RIGHT? 3) is that okay to feed the fermented feed every day from day one to 1.5 years for layers and everything. with the additional nutritious ways, you said to produce food like worms, fruits, vegetable wastes, etc..... 4) you said chickens start to eat less after weeks of eating fermented food, whats that mean? why and how is it beneficial to the chickens.

    Hi Trading Hub. My sincere apologies for taking long to reply. 1. Generally an adult chicken eats 200 to 250g of feed per day. However, chickens will tell you if they are getting adequate food or not. If they rush to you when you visit the fowlrun, even without carrying any food, or when they gobble the feed you give them and finish within a few minutes, it means they are hungry and therefore need more food. If you give them food and they fail to finish the feed within a day then it means you are giving them too much food. So after feeding them for almost a week, you should tell how much to give your chickens per day. 2. Yes you can ferment chicken feed for broilers and layers. While you can also give day old chicks fermented feed, however, make sure they wont sit on the feed, as we want the little chicks to stay warm at all times, so use feeders that allow them to only poke their heads into the feeders, and not trays where can can even sit on the wet feed.

    Hi Hilom, Yes giving broiler chickens fermented feed helps them grow faster and eat less. They easily get full as the feed contains water and fermented feed has readily usable nutrients as compared to dry feed. This means that dry feed is often excreted as chicken manure without being digested fully.

I may not be able to adequately answer all your questions, but what I can tell you is that all commercial chicken feed can be fermented and the benefit is way more than what the chickens get from non-fermented chicken feed. I also want to add on to that by saying, whatever amount of ordinary chicken feed that you normally give your chickens, it is more than what the same chickens consume should you ferment it.
