Feed formulation is a process by which different feed ingredients are combined in a proportion necessary to provide the proper amount of nutrients needed at a particular stage of production. For feed formulation, the knowledge of the nutrient composition of feedstuffs is very essential along with the knowledge of nutrient requirements. The formulated feed should be palatable and should not cause any serious digestive disturbance or toxic effects to the birds.
Some factors should be considered in feed formulation for optimum efficiency and better output from birds.
 Acceptability: The feed formulated should be made of fresh, good-quality ingredients.
 Digestibility: The nutrients in the feed should be digestible and released into the gastrointestinal tract to be absorbed by the birds. Feed with high fibre content can not be utilized efficiently by poultry.
 Cost: The requirement of the birds can be met through several combinations of feed ingredients. However, when the costs of these ingredients are considered, there can only be the least-cost formulation. The least-cost feed should ensure that the requirements of the birds are met and the desired objectives are achieved.
 Avoiding anti-nutritional factors and toxins: The presence of anti-nutritional factors and mycotoxins in the feed ingredients affects the digestion and utilization of some nutrients and not only makes them unavailable to the birds but also produces several conditions and diseases. The inclusion of these feed ingredients should, therefore, be limited in the formulation.
 Other factors: other factors that should be considered are texture, moisture and the processing of feeds need to be considered.

If you need a standard feed formulation for the broiler( starter and grower/finisher) will give you improved production high yield weight and quality meat
Layers ( chick starter, grower mash and layer mash) will give you the higher and quality egg production
