“It’s a necessity”

It’s a necessity to have early feeding, and it will for sure make more profit for the farmers. Early feeding is very important, because the first moment the chick has access to feed is when the development occurs. Every one gram extra in the first week means seven to ten grams at the killing age.

“A good start”

Early feeding ensures that the chick won’t use the remainder of the egg yolk to feed itself, but for immunity and for a good start. It will then use the feed for its further development. And that’s the right order.
