In the production of chickens, it's essential not only to provide them with major nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, and vitamins, but also to include certain trace elements in their feed. Among these, iron, copper, and cobalt play a crucial role in the blood formation process within the chicken's body. Properly supplementing the feed with these elements can significantly enhance the overall health and performance of the chickens. Iron helps in oxygen transport, copper supports energy metabolism, and cobalt is vital for vitamin B12 synthesis, which in turn aids in red blood cell production. For young chickens under 8 weeks of age, it is recommended to add 80 mg of iron (ferrous sulfate) and 4 mg of copper (copper sulfate) per kilogram of feed. Laying hens, on the other hand, require slightly higher amounts—90 mg of iron (ferrous sulfate) and 5 mg of copper (copper sulfate) per kilogram of feed. These precise levels ensure optimal growth, egg production, and general well-being. It's important to note that over-supplementation can be harmful, so following recommended guidelines is key to maintaining a balanced and healthy flock.
