Finisher feeds should be 18.5%, and 3000 Kcal

Special formulation for finisher stage (26-sale days) with highest energy levels for the birds put on desired market weights on time.

Pre-starter feeds (broiler)

Should be containing high quality protein sources with low in anti-nutritional factors.

Having good fiber sources to develop the digestive tract.
