Started at 5am finished cleaning up at 11.15 am. Processed 500 cornish x at 5 weeks of age. Average dressed weight was 4.82 pounds.
This is the first batch adding enzymes to our regular supplemented feed mixture. Average feed consumption was 7.4 pounds of this new mixture, 1.34 pounds less than the previous mix.
Total cost of each bird (less labor) was $2.59 each including costs of shrink bags used to package them.
This is our first year using grains we raised last year and grinding and blending our own feeds. Next year we hope to buy a pellet mill.
Our hope is to expand into producing a complete cornish x broiler feed free of chemicals, preservatives and drugs of any sort. There are so many broiler recipes out there that are cheap but empty of real nutrient content. We want to offer high quantity nutrient rich broiler feed.
