Broiler Feed Formulation
Broiler Feed Formulation Using Available Feed ResourcesFeed Formulations Practices
The Following are the some set examples by Europeans feed formulators. In the following feed formulations the nutritionist have used the Corn, Soya Bean Meal, Fish Meal, Rape Seed Meal including the application of Antibiotics.
The third set of formulas describes the situation in the EU where wheat remains the major cereal, and rapeseed meal is being used increasingly.

It is again highly advisable to review the notes and formulas for the broiler feed formulation. The first set provides a description of basic nutrition principles, whereas in the second set there is a discussion on how ingredients, nutrients and additives are adjusted when antibiotics — and in the case of U.S., anticoccidials — are removed.
Here, notes we will combine all that information and adjust them in the case of the EU.

Current situation in Europe
It is important to understand that in Europe there is a greater degree of variability in terms of operation size, ingredient availability and even nutritional knowledge, not only among the different member states but also among nutritionists graduating from different schools.
In general, however, wheat is the main cereal, although it is not always used alone as some corn is frequently added either from local origin or imported. Soybean meal remains the major protein sources, but the EU has a strong program to reduce its dependency on it. This desire, along with the rapid expansion of rapeseed cultivation for bio-diesel fortification, have made rapeseed meal (about 35% crude protein) a relatively less expensive and quite available ingredient.
Finally, coccidiostats are not considered as antibiotics and as such they are (still) allowed for use, unlike bacterial antibiotics that have been banned completely for growth promoting usage and being frowned upon even for therapeutic purposes.
