Components of animal feed
Animals’ feed is a food given to domestic animals in the course of breeding or rearing them
There are two basic types, namely-locally and processed foods
Domestic animals like cattle, goat, sheep, chickens, birds, etc. generally feed on plants, grains, or both. Animals feed on yams or potato chips, chaff, and household food scraps etc.
This type of animal feed is cheap and available naturally or locally without stress. They are rich in nutrients required for animals to grow well and produce in large quantities.
PROCESS
Most animal feed is plants, grains, chaff, etc., but some of the animal feed is now processed feeds by some manufacturers, adding ingredients that are required for animals to grow healthy. Good examples of these animal feeds are starter, grower, layer, and mash chicken feed.
