Year 2014
The video explains the feed resources and feeding practices in the free range poultry production system. Suggestions are made for increasing the feeding opportunities of free range poultry and the importance of proper protein and fiber supply for preventing feather pecking is highlighted. Ensuring sufficient protein and fiber supply will reduce losses of free range hens and can increase their profitability by at least 20 percent The content of the video was prepared by Prof. Dr. Funso Sonaiya for Associate Poultry Advisers as part of a training programme that was organized by FAO in cooperation with IFAD. © FAO: http://www.fao.org
