Five Feeding Phases
Advantages of the 5×5 Program (Five Feeding Phases)
The 5×5 program is based on a clear scientific principle: each stage of a bird’s life has different nutritional requirements. Therefore, a specialized formulation is designed for each stage to ensure optimal productive performance, feed conversion efficiency, and overall flock health.
Precise nutrition according to the age stage.
Each stage is designed to meet the bird’s essential nutritional requirements according to its age, including:
(protein, energy, amino acids, vitamins, calcium, and phosphorus).
This approach results in balanced growth and consistent performance throughout the rearing stages.
Strong support at the early stage of life.
The starter phase is one of the most critical stages of the production cycle. Therefore, it focuses on protein, amino acids, and their proper balance, as they play a vital role in:
Building a strong immune system
Supporting healthy early growth
Improving feed conversion efficiency and reducing mortality as much as possible
Gradual energy levels to improve feed intake and nutrient utilization.
Energy directly affects feed intake; therefore, the program starts with an appropriate energy level in the early stages and gradually increases as the bird grows, ensuring:
Improved utilization of amino acids and vitamins
Maintenance of stable growth rates
Reduced stress on the digestive system
Promoting gut health and achieving optimal nutrient absorption.
Multiple feeding phases help maintain balance in the digestive system and preserve the beneficial gut microflora, resulting in:
Improved digestion and nutrient absorption
Increased feed utilization efficiency
Enhanced immunity throughout the production cycle

Three Phases
Super System (3 Phases)
The Super System (3 Phases) provides a practical feeding program that balances quality and cost through three formulations covering the entire production cycle, while maintaining stable performance and good feed conversion.
Quality.
High quality using the same essential additives but at a lower cost, with savings of up to 600 EGP depending on market conditions.
Price.
A slight difference in feed conversion ratio compared to the 5×5 program, which aligns with the price difference.
Possible increase in rearing period to reach the same target weight.
The flock may require an additional one to two days to reach the same weight compared to the 5×5 program, depending on rearing and management conditions.
Economic quality.
A suitable option for farmers seeking excellent feed conversion and consistent quality at an economical price.
