Customizing Animal Feed for Different Growth Phases

CategoryNEWS 15 0

Animal nutrition isn’t static—needs change across each stage of growth. Customized animal feed formulas are becoming standard practice in feed programs designed for performance and profitability.

In poultry, starter animal feed for chicks focuses on high protein and energy to jumpstart early development. Grower and finisher feeds then adjust for muscle development and carcass yield.

Animal feed for pigs is segmented similarly, with pre-starter, starter, grower, and finisher diets. Each phase targets specific needs—gut development, immunity, and lean mass gain.

Cattle require phase-appropriate animal feed to support calf growth, heifer development, and lactation in dairy cows.

By aligning feed content with physiological demand, farms get healthier animals, fewer losses, and better efficiency across the board.
