There are several different kinds of feeds available in the market. Each brand-name feed may have slightly different requirements and different ingredients and protein and other nutrient content.

There are three basic of Poultry Feed:

a) "Pelleted Feeds" These are concentrates of high quality grains ingredients with vitamins and minerals as additions.

b) "Crumbles" pellets are broken" making it easier for poultry to eat. Just like pellets these are concentrates of high quality grain ingredients with vitamins and minerals as additions.

c) "Mash" crumbles are "smashed" to make a "meal". Concentrates of high quality grain ingredients with vitamins and minerals added.

However, The Company will produce only one currently i.e. Pellet.

Feed standards and specifications

For cattle and poultry, nutritional standards have been prepared with respect to the genotype, environment and quality of available raw materials, maintenance methods, production and reproduction requirements, production capacity and phase of production. The Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) is a central government organization that facilitates discussion between scientists and industry and prepares guideline and specifications.

BIS standards, poultry feed requirements for minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and vitamins.

Poultry feed is divided into layer and broiler feed. In the case of layer feed, cost is the main constraints in using compound feed. An innovative, high-value compound feed can result in increased number of eggs, but the risks are too high because of the birds′ long life cycle. Compound feed has, however, made a major contribution to broiler feeding. This is an example of excellent coordination among instrument technology, formulation and use of feed additives and supplements. Cost is a less important factor because the performance improvements are greater than the cost increases and the birds′ lifecycle is short.
