Farmers,cost of feed and eggs on world egg day.
Farmers are striving hard in this time of recession to strike a balance between providing adequate feed for their birds or just feed anything and reduce the quality and quantity of eggs. The price of maize is the driver of this feed crisis in the poultry sector as the astronomical increase has made the feed unreachable for many farmers and those that are even willing to buy are finding it difficult to purchase because of scarcity. The problem for the farmers are double edged, not only are they contending with high prices they also must produce good quality eggs or they fall out with there customers.
Farmers have resorted to different practices to break even, some are selling their birds off to reduce the cost of feed,others are selling off stock and waiting for a change in the terrain before they start over while those farmers that reduced stock are giving different feed stuff just to keep birds alive.
Farmers that are experimenting with various feed have reduced egg volume,thus reducing the expected profit. There are various alternatives to feed chicken,but these must be balanced otherwise the goal will not be achieved. The added cost of product has impacted negatively on the price of eggs and availability. The various alternatives vary from country to country,but the best adaptable alternatives will be those tested and documented.
There are numerous alternatives,which can be fed at different % or as a complete ration. The alternatives depend on what you are actually replacing; in the case of maize, cassava root meal is an excellent alternative that also promotes excellent egg laying. Watermelon and banana peels and sobo leaves have all be tested and delivered good results.
Farmers,your solution is here see
Eggs and liver function.
The liver requires large amounts of vitamins and minerals to perform its functions.The liver is a large, meaty organ that sits on the right side of the belly with 2 lobes and a gallbladder on the underside.
The function of the liver are as follows 1) detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs. 2) Filters blood coming from the digestive tract. 3) Bile secretion that aids in digestion.4) Aid blood clotting by production of blood proteins. The liver works with other organs to digest,absorb and process food,therefore diet should be high in fruits, vegetables and fiber-rich foods to ensure a healthy liver as well as liver functions.
Lecithin helps the liver to metabolize fats and reduce cholesterol. It contains a phosphatidylcholine, as well as essential fatty acids that help keep liver cells healthy and prevent fatty deposits from building up in the liver. Lecithin also helps reduce high blood pressure by allowing the easy relaxation of blood vessels to enable better blood flow. Eggs contain this lecithin alongside other vitamins ,minerals and major classes of food.
Living healthy is a correlation between healthy food with proper functioning of organs and systems in the body. Live healthy,eat eggs more of fruits and vegetables.
