Stop Feeding Your Profit Away. The Poultry Farmer's Guide to Cutting Feed Costs Without Cutting Corners
A practical, farm-tested feed formulation handbook for layers, broilers & noilers — written by a Nigerian farmer with over 10 years of real experience, not a textbook writer.
If you're raising poultry, you already know the truth nobody tells beginners clearly enough:
Feed is not just your biggest expense. It's the difference between a farm that survives and one that thrives.
Feed eats up 70–80% of your total production cost. Get it wrong, and:
Most farmers never learn to fix this. They either overpay for commercial feed forever, or they try to mix their own and get the ratios wrong, wasting money and risking their flock.
I've been where you are.
Ten plus years ago, I started with about 50 birds and made almost every feed mistake there is to make; wrong ratios, spoiled ingredients, an entire batch lost to a health crisis rooted in poor nutrition. It was expensive, frustrating, and avoidable.
Over a decade of trial, error, and correction, I built a feed formulation system that actually works on a real Nigerian farm, with real local ingredients, real prices, and real results.
Now it's in one book.

This isn't recycled internet advice. It's a complete, farmer-tested formulation system you can start using today, whether you're feeding 20 birds or 2,000.
✅ The 5 nutrients every ration must balance — and why getting even one wrong quietly kills your productivity.
✅ Exact, ready-to-use feed formulas for Broiler Starter, Broiler Finisher, Layer Grower, Layer Mash, and Noiler Grower rations — measured per 100kg batch, ready to mix
✅ A full ingredient reference table — crude protein %, energy values, and honest sourcing notes for maize, soybean meal, groundnut cake, fishmeal, and more
✅ How to calculate your own feed ratios from scratch — so you're never stuck when an ingredient is scarce or expensive; includes a simple worked example
✅ Daily feeding charts — exact gram-per-bird intake by age, for broilers and layers
✅ The mixing mistakes that cost farmers the most — and the simple habits that prevent them
✅ A real cost comparison — homemade feed vs commercial feed, so you know exactly when mixing your own is worth it
This book is not for someone looking for shortcuts or "get rich quick" farming promises. It's for farmers who want real, working knowledge.
Most feed formulation content online is either:
This book gives you exact ratios, real numbers, and the reasoning behind every formula, explained the way one farmer would explain it to another, over the fence, honestly.
I didn't write this book to get rich off farmers. I wrote it because too many people lose birds and lose money simply because nobody gave them the real information early enough.
If this book saves you even one bad batch of feed or helps you raise one healthier flock, it has done its job.

Will this work if I only have a small number of birds? Yes. The formulas scale — whether you're mixing 20 kg or 200 kg, the ratios stay the same.
I've never mixed feed before. Is this too advanced for me? No. It's written in plain, practical language, step by step, for real farmers, not scientists.
What if ingredients in my area are different or more expensive? Chapter 6 teaches you how to calculate and adjust your own ratios when ingredients change, so you're never stuck.
Is this specific to Nigeria? It's written from Nigerian farming experience, but the formulation principles apply anywhere layers, broilers, or noilers are raised.
Every season you wait is another season of paying full price for feed, or guessing your way through a homemade mix that isn't quite right.
Your birds deserve better. Your business deserves better. And it starts with feed.
