      The inclusion levels of various feedstuffs in broiler and layer diets depend on factors such as the nutritional requirements of the birds, the availability and cost of feed ingredients, and the specific goals of the production system. However, here are typical inclusion levels for the mentioned feedstuffs in broiler and layer diets:

      i) Fish Meal:

      • Broilers: Fish meal is often included in broiler diets at levels ranging from 2% to 5% of the total diet. It serves as a valuable source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and minerals, contributing to optimal growth and performance.
      • Layers: Fish meal inclusion levels in layer diets are generally lower compared to broilers, typically ranging from 1% to 3%. It provides essential amino acids, especially methionine and lysine, which are important for egg production and shell quality.

      ii) Maize (Corn):

      • Broilers: Maize is a staple energy source in broiler diets, often comprising 50% to 60% of the total diet. It provides carbohydrates for energy and serves as a cost-effective feed ingredient.
      • Layers: Maize inclusion levels in layer diets are similar to broilers, ranging from 50% to 60%. It provides energy for egg production and maintenance, helping to support high levels of egg production.

      iii) Molasses:

      • Broilers: Molasses is not commonly included in broiler diets due to its high moisture content and lower nutritional value compared to other feed ingredients.
      • Layers: Molasses may be included in layer diets at low levels (usually less than 5%) as a palatability enhancer and energy source. However, its inclusion is limited due to its sticky nature and potential negative effects on feed handling and storage.

      iv) Soybean Meal:

      • Broilers: Soybean meal is a primary protein source in broiler diets, typically included at levels ranging from 20% to 30%. It provides essential amino acids necessary for growth and muscle development.
      • Layers: Soybean meal inclusion levels in layer diets are similar to broilers, ranging from 20% to 30%. It supplies the protein required for egg production and supports overall bird health.

      v) Wheat Bran:

      • Broilers: Wheat bran inclusion levels in broiler diets are generally low, typically ranging from 5% to 10%. It serves as a source of fiber and may be used to dilute nutrient-dense feed formulations.
      • Layers: Wheat bran inclusion levels in layer diets may be slightly higher compared to broilers, ranging from 5% to 15%. It provides dietary fiber, which can support gastrointestinal health and egg production.

      These inclusion levels are approximate and may vary based on factors such as regional feed availability, cost fluctuations, and specific nutritional requirements of the birds. It's essential for producers to work closely with nutritionists and consider factors such as bird age, breed, performance targets, and feed quality when formulating diets for broilers and layers.
