Question: You will be formulating two poultry diets. The first diet will be for a Grower pullet that has a body weight between 9 4 7

You will be formulating two poultry diets. The first diet will be for a Grower pullet that has a body weight between 947 and 973 g and the second diet will be for a Layer in the third feeding phase (Layer 3) that is at about 85-89% of production. Using the information in the Hyline Poultry Management Guide, formulate the diets to meet the requirements of these chickens. You will need to meet the metabolizable energy, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, calcium and phosphorus requirements of these chickens. Your goal is to formulate a diet for these two classes of chickens that is balanced, as well as providing cost-effective performance and efficiency.For prices of feed, I have provided some prices on the last page of the assignment; however, if you use other feeds you can look up the price and use the price.Fill out the tables belowGrower (947-973g body weight)$/ton of DMCP,%ME, Mcal/kgLysine,%Methionine, %Cysteine, %Threonine, %Tryptophan, %Ca,%P,%Layer 3(85-89% of production)$/ton of DMCP,%ME, Mcal/kgLysine,%Methionine, %Cysteine, %Threonine, %Tryptophan, %Ca,%P,%Answer the following question** Provide a summary about how the diets changed between a Grower and Finisher pig. Describe how the pigs requirements changed and how you had to alter the ingredients (and proportions of ingredients) between the two classes of pigs to formulate this diet
