VENKY'S GAVRAN FINISHER
Venky's Gavran Finisher is a specialized, nutrient-dense poultry feed formulated specifically for indigenous (Desi/Gavran), dual-purpose, and improved backyard chicken breeds during their final fattening phase. Developed by Venky's (Venkateshwara Hatcheries Group), this feed addresses the unique metabolic needs and slower growth cycles of native and free-range birds, helping them achieve optimal body weight, firm muscle texture, and attractive skin pigmentation before market placement.
Overview
Unlike commercial broilers that grow extremely fast, native Gavran and crossbred country birds have a longer growth cycle, higher activity levels, and different nutritional requirements. Feeding standard broiler finisher to Gavran birds can lead to excessive fat deposition, poor muscle tone, or higher feed costs without yielding the authentic country-chicken texture that consumers prefer.
Venky's Gavran Finisher provides a tailored balance of energy, moderate protein, essential minerals, and natural pigments. It supports steady body weight gain, strengthens skeletal integrity, and enhances natural feathering and yellow skin tinting, key quality markers for premium Gavran meat in local markets.
Key Features
Tailored Protein & Energy Ratio: Formulated specifically for the moderate growth rate of native and improved country birds, avoiding excess fat accumulation.
Skin & Meat Pigmentation Support: Contains essential ingredients that help develop the rich, yellow skin tone and dark, firm muscle meat characteristic of genuine Gavran chickens.
Skeletal & Leg Strength Fortification: Balanced Calcium, Phosphorus, and Vitamin D3 levels support strong leg bones and joints, preventing lameness in active, range-fed or semi-intensive birds.
Enhanced Feed Digestibility: High-quality grain and fiber sources promote optimal gut function, allowing efficient nutrient absorption over longer rearing periods.
Immunity & Disease Resistance: Enriched with vital vitamins (A, E, B-Complex) and organic trace minerals to keep free-range or semi-intensive flocks resilient against field infections and environmental stress.
Primary Benefits for Farmers
Market Premium & Meat Quality
Authentic Gavran Taste & Texture: Yields firm, lean meat with traditional flavor and texture, meeting consumer demand for authentic country chicken.
Attractive Market Appearance: Promotes complete, shiny feathering and vibrant skin color, helping farmers command higher prices per kilogram in live markets.
Optimized Growth & Cost Efficiency
Steady Weight Gain: Delivers uniform daily weight gains during the final weeks of rearing without causing metabolic stress or leg issues.
Economical Feeding Solution: Prevents feed wastage by matching the precise intake capacity and dietary needs of country breeds.
Flock Resilience & Health
Supports Active Movement: Built to maintain strong frames for birds raised in free-range, backyard, or semi-intensive farming environments.
Low Mortality in Final Phase: Boosts immune defense during the critical pre-market period, reducing health risks and safeguarding investment.
Feeding Guidelines & Best Practices
Feeding Period: Transition birds smoothly from Gavran Starter/Grower feed to Gavran Finisher around 6 to 8 weeks of age (depending on the specific breed and target market weight).
Supplementary Feeding: Can be fed as a complete daily ration or used alongside partial free-range foraging (greens, insects, household grain scraps).
Clean Water: Provide continuous access to clean, fresh drinking water at all times.
Housing & Management: Ensure adequate space and dry litter conditions to keep birds clean and reduce feather damage prior to sale.
