How I Cut Chicken Feed COST 50% My 25KG Homemade Kienyeji Mash Hack = Higher Protein!

Are you spending KSh 4,500 per 50kg bag of layers mash? I was too! My 10 kienyeji chicken were eating profit! Today I show you how I make 25KG high-quality homemade kienyeji mash at home that cuts my cost by 50% AND gives MORE protein (25% vs 15% commercial) - my chickens lay bigger eggs and grow faster! BUT truth: Is it always cheaper? NO! If you buy ALL ingredients at retail shop in Ruiru, it can cost SAME as commercial. BUT if you use your own maize, sunflower, and greens from your shamba, you save more than 50%! I explain honest maths. I’m Carol from RuiruHomesteadDiaries - SAHM on 1/8 acre, kienyeji chicken, and Bella the goat. I share real costings, no lies.

For Kienyeji chicken - Ruiru Method: 1. ENERGY (60%): Crushed Maize / Maize germ - 10kg (50%) - from my harvest Wheat bran / Maize bran - 2kg (10%) 2. PROTEIN (25% - THIS IS WHY MINE IS BETTER): Sunflower cake - 2kg (10%) - KSh 60/kg - protein + fat Omena fish / Mukene - 2kg (10%) - KSh 80/kg - BEST protein for layers Soya meal OR roasted soya - 1kg (5%) - optional if omena expensive 3. CALCIUM + MINERALS (15%): Limestone / DCP - 1.5kg (7.5%) - for strong eggshells - KSh 40/kg Bone meal - 0.5kg (2.5%) Salt - 0.1kg (100g) - NEVER more! KITCHEN WASTES for More Savings Greens: Sukuma, sweet potato leaves, azolla 1kg chopped (FREE from shamba) - vitamins! TOTAL = 25KG COST BREAKDOWN RUIRU TODAY: If you buy ALL at shop: KSh 1,650 for 20kg = KSh 82/kg Commercial: 50kg KSh 4,200 = KSh 84/kg Saving small? Yes but PROTEIN 25% vs 15% = 20% more eggs! If you use YOUR own maize 10kg FREE from shamba: My cost = KSh 750 for 20kg = KSh 37/kg = SAVE 55%! That is 30% average! FEEDING: 10 kienyeji x 120g per day = 1.2kg per day 26kg lasts 16 days I also free-range 3 hours daily + kitchen waste = save more 3 MISTAKES NEVER: 1. NEVER add more than 100g salt per 20kg - kills chickens! 2. NEVER use moldy maize - aflatoxin kills flock 3. NEVER mix only maize + bran - low protein = no eggs, chickens eat feathers! NOTE: This is NOT 100% balanced like Unga commercial with premix. For BEST, add 0.5kg layers premix KSh 300 - then protein 19% + vitamins. I use without premix and add greens + free-range, works for kienyeji, not for pure broilers. Comment "MASH" I send you FREE PDF: My 25KG Recipe Card + Ruiru Supplier List + Cost Calculator!
