Feed is one of the most important factors influencing the success of chicken farming. This is due to the biggest production cost in livestock business is feed, which is about 70% of the total cost.
This was revealed by Faculty of Animal Science (FAS) UGM lecturer, Prof. Dr. Ir. Zuprizal, DEA., IPU as a speaker in the Kuliah Gratis Bagimu Petani Kami Mengabdi, Friday (4/10) at the FAS UGM campus.
Zuprizal said, feed can be made by farmers themselves so that the cost of feed can be reduced and ultimately profits increase. “As long as farmers know how to make harmonious feed, namely knowledge about nutrition, the availability of feed raw materials, and the manufacturing process, farmers can produce their own feed,” explained the lecturer at the Animal Feed Science Laboratory.
