SureGro Broiler Grower Pellets
The Epol SureGro Broiler Grower Pellets are the second stage in the SureGro feeding program, specifically formulated for domestic or smaller commercial broiler farmers. This phase is critical as it covers the "accelerated growth" period, where the focus shifts from initial organ development to rapid muscle and skeletal expansion. Transitioning from crumbs to pellets at this stage helps minimize feed wastage and encourages higher intake levels.
Nutritional Specifications
The grower pellets are balanced to support high-speed growth without compromising the health of the bird's skeleton.
- Protein: Minimum 16% (160 g/kg)
- Total Lysine: Minimum 0.9% (9 g/kg)
- Total Methionine: Minimum 0.34% (3.4 g/kg)
- Fat: Minimum 2.5% (25 g/kg)
- Fiber: Maximum 7.0% (70 g/kg)
- Moisture: Maximum 12.0% (120 g/kg)
- Calcium: 0.55% – 1.0% (5.5 g/kg to 10 g/kg)
- Phosphorus: Minimum 0.4% (4 g/kg)
Key Features
This feed contains a precise blend of grains, grain by-products, plant and animal protein sources, and added oils. It is fully fortified with essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Like other products in the SureGro range, these pellets include specific enzymes to improve the digestibility of raw materials, ensuring better feed conversion ratios (FCR). Note that these pellets typically contain registered stock remedies (such as coccidiostats) to manage intestinal health during this high-intake phase.
Feeding Recommendations
SureGro Broiler Grower Pellets should be introduced following the SureGro Broiler Starter phase:
- Timeline: Feed from approximately day 16 to day 24 of age.
- Quantity: The target intake is roughly 1000g (1kg) per bird over this 9-day period.
- Transition: After day 24, the flock should be moved to SureGro Broiler Finisher Pellets.
Ensure that the birds have constant (ad libitum) access to the feed and plenty of clean, cool drinking water, as water intake is a major driver of feed consumption and growth.
