How to setup High Performance in Broiler chicks?

When it comes to raising chicks, ensuring high quality is of utmost importance. The performance and overall health of chicks can be greatly influenced by various parameters such as weight, Immunity, and bone development.

Weight gain is a key indicator of chick health and productivity. By monitoring weight gain, farmers can assess the effectiveness of their feeding programs and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal growth.

Role of Vitamins (E,A) and Biotin in performing High Quality chick:

Vitamins play an important  role in the overall health and performance of poultry, particularly in terms of immunity and weight gain. Among these essential vitamins, Vitamin A (retinol) and Vitamin E (tocopherol) have been found to have significant impacts on the well-being of chicks.


Vitamin A plays a vital role in supporting the immune system of poultry. It helps maintain the integrity and function of various tissues, including those found in the gut and intestine. By promoting healthy gut development, Vitamin A enhances digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to improved weight gain in chicks. Additionally, it contributes to maintaining a proper microbial balance within the gut, which is essential for overall health.


Similarly, Vitamin E also plays a critical role in supporting poultry immunity and weight gain. As a potent antioxidant, it protects cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This protection extends to immune cells as well, ensuring their optimal functioning. By bolstering the immune response, Vitamin E helps chicks combat infections more effectively and promotes better growth performance.
The combined effects of Vitamins A and E on poultry health are undeniable. Their presence in adequate amounts ensures proper immune function, optimal digestion, enhanced microbial balance within the gut, and ultimately leads to improved weight gain among chicks.

Biotin and vitamin E play vital roles in supporting the overall health of chicks. Biotin aids in nutrient absorption and metabolism, while vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that protects cells from damage. Adequate levels of these nutrients contribute to healthy feathering, improved immune function, and enhanced growth.
Maintaining a balanced gut microbial population is crucial for chick health. A healthy gut microbiome helps with digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune system development. Probiotics or prebiotics can be used to promote beneficial bacteria in the gut and support optimal chick performance.


Another important parameter to consider is bone development. Proper bone formation is essential for chicks’ ability to move freely without deformities or fractures. Providing adequate levels of calcium and phosphorus in their diet helps ensure strong bones that can support their growing bodies.
As responsible poultry farmers or producers, it is crucial to provide an appropriate diet that includes sufficient levels of Vitamins A and E for your flock’s overall well-being. This will not only contribute to their growth but also help them develop robust immunity against potential diseases or stressors they may encounter throughout their lives.


By focusing on these high-quality chick parameters such as weight gain, Immunity , gut microbial balance, and bone development, farmers can raise healthier chicks with improved performance outcomes.
