Liquid supplement for strategic feeding of livestock

摘要

A method of supplementing livestock feed with a liquid nutrient additive during a growth period to achieve an optimum rate of growth of said livestock during said growth period comprises supplying the livestock with feed over a plurality of consecutive predetermined time periods during the growth period and adding said liquid nutrient on site to the feed to boost the nutrient level of the feed so that it substantially matches the level required to promote said optimum rate of growth of the livestock throughout the whole of the growth period. Standard chicken feed is supplemented by a liquid additive comprising lysine, methionine and a carbohydrase enzyme.
