Finisher chicken feed is an efficient high-protein diet designed for meat birds that contains up to 18% crude protein content and is generally more affordable than layer feed.
Chicken feed pellets made up of large 4mm pellets are designed for easy digestion and nutritional absorption by chickens, making this an excellent source of energy for them.

Cost
Cost is a crucial consideration for poultry farmers when selecting broiler finisher feed, and optimizing ration formulation using linear programming can help farmers meet nutrient requirements at minimal expense.
This study’s purpose was to evaluate cocoyam corm meal as a partial replacement for maize in finisher chicken feed. The findings from this experiment demonstrated that three diet regimes with increasing levels of cocoyam corm meal replacement did not adversely impact production parameters, and their respective proximate analyses showed comparable values for CP, ether extract and CFI values across treatments.
Kafia Finisher Feed is a balanced diet designed to aid broiler growth right up until they reach slaughtering age. It features high energy content and protein balance; crumble and pellet forms are available; its formulation ensures maximum performance and weight gain of broilers.
Growth Rate
Commercial poultry operations often provide their pullets with starter feed that contains high levels of protein to give their chicks an ideal start and accelerate feather out. Once chicks reach four to six weeks old, they switch over to grower feed containing about 16% protein before switching onto finisher feed which contains 18%.
In this study, the effects of various levels of cocoyam corm meal were tested on broilers during their finisher dietary stage. Results demonstrated that adding cocoyam corm meal had positive impacts in terms of growth rate, mortality rate, and feeding efficiency.
Alternative protein sources in finisher broiler feed can reduce their dependence on maize for carbs, improving small-hold poultry farming profitability and livestock health. Therefore, developing new sources of proteins for poultry feed production costs must become a top priority in order to save both time and money during production processes.
Feeding Schedule
Finisher feed contains lower protein levels but higher energy, helping broilers gain weight quickly. Start feeding them this type of feed as soon as their fifth week has passed – or use it to feed pullets or cockerels dedicated to egg production.
Feed wastage is minimized, digestibility increased and separation eliminated with this pelleted formula created from quality raw materials which contain methionine and lysine for enhanced performance.
Linear programming revealed that diet formulations proposed by both starter and finisher feed formulations for starter and finisher broilers were feasible from an economic viewpoint; however, due to variations in local feed ingredients’ nutrient composition information. Therefore, more work needs to be done on improving their nutrient contents.
Purpose
Feeding poultry a complete diet helps them reach their maximum potential in terms of meat production or egg laying. As such, the chicken feed industry produces various varieties of complete poultry diets including starter, grower, finisher and layer diets as well as pellet or mash form offerings.
RIVERINA BROILER FINISHER PELLETS are highly digestible complete feed for finishing meat chickens that provide balanced energy and protein levels, using quality raw materials for maximum conversion efficiency and produced in pellet form for reduced waste and consistent nutritional intake.
Finisher feed can be fed to broilers from their fifth week until slaughter or disposal, providing a higher energy intake with balanced protein-and-energy ratios in order to help them quickly gain weight. Furthermore, this feed supports growth without providing unnecessary vitamins or minerals.
