In the Gambia, broiler chickens face slow growth and severe heat stress, a challenge faced by many poultry farmers due to climate and market factors. This article explores how to achieve faster growth and healthier in Gambian broilers by feeding them a green broiler growth promoter.
Building A Broiler Business In Gambia
Since 1966, The Gambia's poultry industry has made remarkable progress.
Today, poultry farming has become a vital economic source for many rural Gambian households, particularly small-scale backyard farmers. Consumption of chicken meat and eggs continues to rise, while tourism development has also driven demand for high-quality broiler products.
Projections indicate that by 2028, The Gambia's poultry production will rise to 1,960 tons. A warm climate, abundant land resources, and supportive policies collectively create natural advantages for poultry farming. For investors and farmers alike, The Gambia's poultry sector represents a sustainable and highly promising field.
However, achieving high yields and profits in this industry requires more than just favorable conditions. The key to success lies in accelerating broiler growth booster, reducing mortality rates, and improving feed efficiency.
Why Your Broilers Grow Slowly?
Many Gambian farmers face similar challenges: chickens consume large amounts of feed yet grow slowly; extended market-ready periods drive up feed costs; and mortality rates often rise during hot seasons.
Primary causes include:
Broiler Heat Stress
Gambia's tropical savanna climate features year-round high temperatures, divided into dry and wet seasons, with an average annual temperature of approximately 27°C (81°F). This is especially true during Gambia's hot and humid summers, which frequently cause heat stress in broilers. During such periods, the birds' natural temperature regulation mechanisms become disrupted. To dissipate heat, blood flows from internal organs to peripheral circulation, leading to organ ischemia and hypoxia. In severe cases, broilers become ill. This not only restricts normal intestinal motility and impairs nutrient absorption but also drastically reduces feed intake, ultimately slowing growth rates.
Broiler Chicken Diseases
When broiler chickens fall ill, entire flocks are often affected. Diseases like avian influenza can trigger large-scale bacterial infections. During such outbreaks, the chickens' nutrients are diverted to fighting the disease. Intestinal issues frequently cause malabsorption, slowing growth and, in severe cases, leading to mortality. This results in significant economic losses for farmers.
Low Poultry Feed Conversion Rate
Feed expenses constitute the largest economic expenditure in broiler farming, largely due to Gambia's high animal feed costs and reliance on imports. Many broilers consume feed rapidly during the fattening phase, yet some gain weight slowly. However, when farmers use homemade natural feed, broilers often become malnourished and grow slowly. Gambian farmers have calculated that for every day a broiler's market readiness is delayed, each bird consumes approximately 90g more feed daily.
Therefore, farmers need not just a feed supplement, but a natural growth promoter that comprehensively enhances broiler health and growth rate.
What Defines A High-Quality Broiler Growth Promoter?
An excellent broiler growth promoter must meet the following criteria:
1. Natural, safe formulation with no drug residues.
2. Improves gut health and enhances feed absorption.
3. Boosts broiler immunity, reduces stress and disease burden.
4. Economically efficient.
These are precisely the core advantages of Lima Biotech's natural plant-based broiler growth enhancer.
Broiler Growth Booster Trusted by Gambian Farmers
Lima's natural broiler growth promoter is a green, harmless, and all-natural product. Safe for animals with no side effects, it is perfectly suited to local farming environments and needs in the Gambia. The core ingredients of Lima's broiler growth enhancer include:
Bioactive Peptides: Repair broiler intestinal mucosa and enhance nutrient absorption.
Oligosaccharides: Promote beneficial bacteria proliferation and improve chick intestinal balance.
Plant Polysaccharides: Strengthen the immune system, enhancing poultry disease resistance.
Complex Enzymes: Break down feed components, improving energy utilization.
While benefiting broilers, these natural active substances synergistically promote growth, enhance feed conversion ratio (FCR), and ensure chickens grow faster, stronger, and healthier.
Make Your Broilers Grow Faster
Scientific feeding ratios and consistent application are key to achieving rapid weight gain in broilers. In The Gambia, many poultry farmers have provided highly positive feedback after using Lima natural broiler growth promoter. Our statistics show:
During Days 1-7 of broiler rearing, birds treated with Lima Growth Promoter exhibited rapid weight gain.
By approximately Day 7, diarrhea issues significantly decreased.
From days 8 to 14, Gambian broilers maintained rapid growth momentum.
By days 15 to 21, they achieved significant weight gains, with brighter plumage, increased overall vitality, and a healthier appearance.
After 20 days, weight gain accelerated further, reaching 0.01–0.2 kg per bird daily.
By day 42, they reached 3.2–3.6 kg, enabling rapid market readiness.
For premium breeds or optimal rearing conditions, weight gains may be even more pronounced. These data conclusively demonstrate that Lima broiler growth enhancer effectively accelerates growth, shortens production cycles, and enhances farmers' economic returns.
Let Your Broiler Chickens Grow Healthier
In Gambian broiler farming, sick chickens grow slowly and may fail to reach full maturity if growth is stunted. Sick birds consume less feed than healthy ones, as most of their food intake is diverted to fighting disease.
Beyond visible disease symptoms, heat stress in broilers and other poultry also inflicts significant economic losses on the industry.
Gambia's annual average temperature is approximately 27°C. During the hot summer rainy season, heat stress in broilers becomes particularly pronounced, posing challenges for poultry farmers. Heat stress severely impacts the gastrointestinal tract: to dissipate heat, the chicken's thermoregulatory mechanism redirects blood flow from internal organs to peripheral circulation. This causes ischemia and hypoxia in the broiler's internal organs, thereby limiting intestinal motility, nutrient utilization, and feed intake.
Research and data from Lima Biotechnology indicate that within broiler gastrointestinal tracts, heat stress and resulting tissue damage increase intestinal permeability, facilitating the transfer of toxins and pathogens from the gut into the bloodstream. These toxins require broiler feed additives to eliminate them, absorb mycotoxins, remove toxic waste, and reduce the formation of toxic metabolites. This alleviates stress, promotes antibody production, and reduces disease incidence.
FAQ of Using Broiler Growth Boosters
1. Is it suitable for Gambia's hot season?
Yes. Our product is specifically designed for tropical climates and functions effectively even during Gambia's intense summer heat, significantly alleviating heat stress in broilers. Note that it should be used in a single application whenever possible. If sealed, do not store for more than 2 months, as efficacy will be greatly reduced.
2. How do I use Lima's broiler growth booster?
Lima broiler growth prompter is extremely simple to use—simply mix it thoroughly with the broiler feed. The specific mixing ratio is 2 kilograms of growth promoter per 1,000 kilograms of feed.
3. Is the broiler feed additive in pellet form?
No, our product is powdered for easy mixing with broiler feed.
More Efficient Broiler Farming in Gambia
The Gambia's poultry industry is steadily growing, but unlocking its full potential requires enhancing broiler production efficiency and health management. Selecting the right growth promoter will be a key factor in farmers' success. At Lima Biotechnology, we believe that with the proper use of broiler growth promoters, broiler growth rates in The Gambia will significantly improve, paving the way for a more prosperous future for the country's poultry sector.
