Feed Efficiency

When you take feed efficiency 5-6%, take a 42 lb. turkey that’s going to eat about 2.7 per pounds to gain — that’s about 110 lbs of feed – take 5% feed efficiency times 113 lbs of feed you’re saving about six lbs of feed per bird.

Take that 6 lbs starter flock you’ve got 20,000 birds, that’s 120,000 lbs or 60 tons of feed. Then take that 60 tons of starter feed you’re taking about $ 200-360 a ton — even if it’s $275.00 a ton that’s $16.50. That’s just one flock. Most of ours have averaged 6 to 6.5/%.

I’m just using 5% as a number. Let's say, if you’re looking at a broiler chicken you’re looking at 1.6 or 1.7 lbs, of feed per pound to gain. We’re looking at a 42 day their looking at 1.8 and if we are using the usual 5% we are looking at a 1.8 feed conversion in a 42 day old bird they are going to look at about 4 ½ lbs. for 14.6 lbs of feed minus 13.9 you are going to look at .7 lbs of feed for every 42 days, we’re talking about 100,000 birds in that flock you’re talking about 70,000 lbs or 35 tons, and this is in broiler chickens. That’s 42 days with a two week cleanup for 7-9 weeks, you’ve got 52 weeks divided by nine you run about 5.7 flocks per year times 35 tons, that’s almost 200 tons per year savings on 580,000 birds.

You take that times $380 a ton at 200 ton times $380.00 a ton, that’s $60,000 and that’s just an average chicken farm, about four houses, over 8 weeks that’s 6 lbs per bird. Some of them they raise bigger and this is just feed efficiency. The weight is going to be a factor also because they are going to grow faster. You’re going to have a greater turnover of each barn. The decreased mortality is another thing because that is going to add another 5%. Even 3% is going to make a difference. Turkeys have a higher mortality, no matter what they do.

They get a higher ammonia content and less oxygen because of the way they are packed in and they are larger birds. The greater feed efficiency we have the less ammonia they are going to have, less flesh buster. The better feed efficiency they have the less ammonia they are going to have. The great feed we have, the amount of protein will be lost. And the more protein loss we have the less ammonia we are going to have in the barns. Mortality in a turkey barn is going to be around 5% but I have seen in turkey barns where it is as high as 15%.

Feed efficiency has a lot to do with mortality. Average gains, feed efficiency, water usage, you will need to hydrate the birds with better water. Would I be correct in saying with better feed conversion you are going to turn over the bard one more time a year on a $3,000 investment per barn? Yea, you’re pretty close, more to chickens than turkeys. With turkeys you are going to have more like 140 days for 20 weeks so you are going to only look at about a 2.5 turnover per barn of 20,000. And about a 2 ½ turnover per barn for turkeys.

They raise them for 20 weeks. With a grown up chicken you are only looking at 42 days and then a 10-14 day cleanup before they put in new birds, about 4-8 times. In looking at that in dollars what would be your estimate that’s another $50.00 if you’re raising 100,000 birds per turn. A 4/1/2 lb bird in 42 days, based on 100,000 birds per flock. Rather than 5-8 turnovers it would be 6.3 turnovers. Minimizing salts with organics is there dollar figure we could put in there. With the poultry your salt content is going to be quite high, especially with the turkeys. What they are trying to do is ferment it. If they just windrow it and they don’t turn it over so many times you lack the microbes to ferment it.

You’ve got less microbes to complete the fermentation process. By spraying the microbiology over the excrement you will have a direct effect on the microbiology doing that. The salt index is what enhances anaerobic digestion because of the electro conductivity It enhances the salt in those litters because poultry has sodium adsorption, then they walk around and they keep getting salt index in those litters because poultry is a poor digester of sodium, You get deposits and that’s where you get the wet barns and high salts, and then they walk around and they pack it down and they keep getting sodium.

When you hydrate the birds you get much better feed efficiency, less ammonia, less salts. It’s all about assimilation of protein. Its not that they haven’t taken the protein in, it is that the protein is not assimilated. With corn there is going to be a higher quality because of the energy. Most of the poultry farmers are windrowing their excrement so it will ferment but a lot are windrowing it and not turning it over so many times so you’re not going to get fermentation. You need the microbes to ferment it.

If you have a high salt index you have less microbes for the fermentation process. It increases the enzymes and the nematodes. But it still takes energy to utilize the microbiology. It gives it the heat energy necessary to speed up the reproduction of that microbiology. Heat conversion, mortality, increased growth, less diseases, turn the excrement into good producing organic matter. Take these a step at a time so it has good communication within the cell-to-cell communication of the plants. Then when you have good cell-to-cell communication you are going to have What is it able to do with reversing the effects of Roundup? There again it is in The new advances I keep telling them that if you are using structured water or you are using microbiology to carry the nutrients to the plant.

If you are using water as a =carrier for that, if you structure that water it will enhance the conductivity which is heat transfer or the energy and that’s what turns on all the microbiology in the soils. It will fire them up and you speed up the reproduction of that microbiology — it’s kind of like double-timing. If you can utilize all this technology you can make the small farm more competitive with the large corporate farms. Yes, absolutely. These are keys you have to look at, all these things come into play — feed conversions, mortality, increasing the size and quality per year , less diseases, taking excrement, turning the animals into good production, good producing organic matter.

It’s taking these a step at a time to convert that so it has good communication within the cell tissue so the plants by raising the frequency for good cell-to=-cell communication. You have greater production and less diseases. You’re going to have less diseases. When you get into good cell-to-cell communication you are always going to have immune enhancement, good excrement which you are turning into good organic matter for crops to grow. It’s taking these a step at a time to convert that so it has good communication within the cell tissues of the plants, by raising the frequencies for good cell-to-cell communication.

Then when you get into good cell-t-cell communication you are always going to have immune enhancement and improve your entire immune system. In reversing the long term effects of Roundup what are the effects going to be with that? You re4verse the effects by enhancing its usage and not having all that extra residual by using 30% less of it with the same effect. That’s a cost efficiency. It has that effect because of the thermal heat transfer. That is the same effect as people who drink structured water. Another idea is converting swine to sprouts and growing the feed for them. You are producing more energy with less feed.

You have a cost factor there also. That also bypasses the GMO seeds which are mostly used in the corn feed they are purchasing. That’s where the energy factor is, in sprouts is when they have more of a direct effect when feeding producing more energy with less feed. Sprouting, that’s where all the energy factor is. The feed value of that is going to have more of a direct effect on feeding the micro flora , the probiotic, it’s food for the flora.

That gets into a lot faster feed for the probiotics the animal would have to produce on their own to break down that protein. What about the somatics in the milk of the dairy cattle. We reduce the somatics. I have this time and again, a minimum of 30% when they structure the water. I have seen as much as a 50% reduction and a minimum of 30%.

Decrease in somatics in the milk. When you look at the somatic cells, there again, when you increase, which is basically the bad bacteria which got set in motion, you get what you calol Hosteil and that’s what produces these high counts of somatic cells and that’s what produces these high somatic cell counts and when it gets too high you have to destroy the milk because you can’t get rid of them and that happens every day.

Some of these guys have tried everything and they can’t control them. What it breaks down to again what better way to feed and increasing hydration levels by weight what they take in by weight versus what they eat by weight and that’s water. It takes so many pounds of water for every pound of dry matter intake that they eat and that’s why a lot of cows take more water because they do not retain it.

In other words, they lose it so they are always trying to hydrate to get more water for every pound of dry matter they take in and that’s what converts it into milk. It takes so many pounds of water for every pound of dry matter. In a lot of cows it take so many more pounds of water, because they do not retain it. They lose it so they are always trying to hydrate to get more water for every pound of dry matter they intake, but they don’t and that’s what converts it into milk in butter fat and into protein, but if they don’t have that it just doesn’t work.

So the increase of the somatic cell counts is because of the low frequency of the low frequency of the cell-to-cell communication. The cell-to-cell communication is the key. Every time you have the reduce water intake you are going to have reduced frequency and cell-to-cell communication and that’s dehydration. Feed conversions, mortality, and amount of fevered meat, like flesh bluster and things like that in poultry that gets cut out of them, that’s a reduction of amount they get paid for that, and that is due to a lack of oxygen in the blood cells.

Any time you have something that is fevered that relates to a somatic cell that’s actually a cause of inflammation, the more inflammation the higher the somatic cell count. Sometimes with the dairy cows their teats get so hard that their milk production falls and everything. With all these things you can afford to be an organic farmer. The organic farmer does these step by step things and improve on where they have failed in the past. They are not running large acreages. In their failures in the past that goes back to the number one thing and that’s their soil, understanding and knowing their soils, that is the key.

The more I look at the plant the metabolism is the same in the plant, is the same in the animal, and is the same as out own metabolism. Every living thing does this. There are no different types of metabolism. It is in the energy values and those energy values have to be addressed by — you can have all that energy but it gets shifted from one end to the other but if you’ve got energy values but those energy values have to be addressed by mobilizing that energy from point A to point B and how do you mobilize it?

Eventually that metabolism is going to be the same for the root of the plant and that is going to tell how your immune system is going to be from the root to the plant, to the animal that feeds on the feed from that plant to the immune system of the human that eats that animal that eats that plant or animal. It’s all the same.
