Example of Corn and Soy Meal Reduction Alternatives for Broiler Feeds

1. Wheat and brown rice compound substitute corn. Wheat and brown rice can completely replace corn in the diet in the middle and later stages of broiler chicken feed, of which wheat accounts for about 30% to 40% of the total formula, brown rice accounts for about 10% to 15% of the total formula, and fresh rice bran replaces the diet The amount of medium corn can reach 20%. It is recommended to add about 15% corn in broiler chicken feed. When the amount of wheat used increases, the grain size of the wheat should not be too fine (0.7 mm ~ 0.9 mm); no additional binder is needed when the wheat ration is granulated to prevent the granules from being too hard and reducing the palatability and feed intake.
2. Wheat, barley and sorghum replace corn. In the early stage (1~21 days) diet of broilers, wheat, barley and sorghum can be used together. It is recommended that the replacement ratio of each raw material should not exceed 30%, and the amount of corn can be reduced to 0; , can be used together with wheat, barley and sorghum. It is recommended that the replacement ratio of each raw material should not exceed 40%, and the amount of corn can be reduced to 0. Using wheat and adding xylan complex enzyme can completely replace corn in broiler diet.
3. Protein raw materials such as miscellaneous meal replace soybean meal. In broiler diets, 7% to 14% canola meal is used instead of soybean meal, and the amount of soybean meal can be reduced by 6% to 10%. Use 2.5% to 10.5% low-phenol cotton meal to replace soybean meal in broiler diets, and the amount of soybean meal can be reduced by 2% to 10%. Use 4% to 12% of high-quality DDGS to replace soybean meal in broiler diets, and the amount of soybean meal can be reduced by 2% to 6%. Using 15% of fresh peanut kernel cakes instead of soybean meal in the broiler diet, the amount of soybean meal can be reduced by about 15%. The amount of peas in broiler diets in the late growth period can be as high as 20%; increasing the amylose ratio to a straight chain/branch ratio of 0.35~0.5 can reduce the dietary crude protein level by 2%.
4. Soybean meal-free diet formula. In pre-broiler diets, use corn gluten meal (up to 10%), rapeseed meal (up to 10%), cottonseed meal (up to 20%) and peanut meal (up to 10%), and the amount of soybean meal can be reduced to 0 ; In the late ration of broilers, use corn gluten meal (up to 15%), rapeseed meal (up to 15%), cottonseed meal (up to 25%) and peanut meal (up to 10%), and the amount of soybean meal can be reduced to 0.
