Broiler chickens are fed with vitamin-rich supplementary feed for good growth rate and better feed efficiency. Care is taken to avoid mortality and to maintain feathering and carcass quality. They are produced as broilers and sent to market for meat purposes.
For good production of poultry birds, good management practices are important. There include maintenance of temperature and hygienic conditions in housing and poultry feed, as well as prevention and control of diseases and pests. The ration (daily food requirement) for broilers is protein rich with adequate fat. The level of vitamins A and K is kept high in the poultry feeds.
