Feeding Guide for Free-Range Dominant Superior F1 Chickens Dominant 102 and Dominant 853(RIR)

"From Happy Hen's to your Home"



📌 Bakit Important ang Tamang Feeding?

Para maging malusog ang manok at hindi madaling magkasakit.

Para mas maging malasa at firm ang karne.

Para mas nutritious at malaki ang itlog.

Para mas mura at sustainable ang production dahil nakakatipid sa feeds.

---

🔴 Karaniwang Problema sa Pagpapakain

1. Mahal ang commercial feeds – minsan hindi laging available.

2. Kailangan ng complete nutrition – protein, vitamins, minerals.

3. Food waste – sayang kung tinatapon lang ang kitchen scraps.

4. Seasonal changes – minsan konti ang forages o kulang sa damo.

5. Time & effort – medyo hassle minsan maghanda ng natural feeds.

---

🟢 Mga Simpleng Solusyon (Praktikal at Tipid)

Kitchen scraps – kaning lamig, gulay na tira, prutas na overripe, tinapay na lumang stock.

Garden weeds & damo – tulad ng clover, dandelion, at damo pagkatapos magtabas.

Fruits as treats – pakwan, bayabas, papaya, o mansanas.

Protein boost – nilagang itlog (chopped), mealworms, earthworms, o kahit mga insekto sa paligid.

Natural treats – kalabasa, squash, mais, sunflower seeds.

Herbs – oregano, basil, at tanglad (pang immune booster at antibacterial).

Foraging time – palayain sila sa ranging area para maghanap ng insects, bulate, at seeds.

Crop leftovers – mais na tira, palay straw, o munggo.

Molasses + grains – dagdag energy at hindi sayang ang lumang cereal.

Fallen fruits – huwag itapon, paborito ng manok yan.

---

✅ Resulta:
Mas healthy ang Dominant Superior F1, mas tipid sa feeds, at mas mataas ang kalidad ng karne at itlog.

Kapakanan o kaligtasan? Sa cage-free systems, pwedeng both! 💡

Sa halip na ikulong sa cage kung saan hirap silang kumilos at gawin ang kanilang natural behaviors, maglagay ng bakod o fence, o 'di kaya ay enclosed barn kung saan malaya at komportableng makakagalaw ang mga manok. Sa ganitong paraan, ligtas sila mula sa panganib at nakawan, at ligtas din ang kanilang kalusugan at kasiyahan!

Step by step we are doing of sexing at one day old chicks..Day old pa lang alam na namin ang male or female basta dominant superior F1 sya ..

Quick Guide– Day-old chicks Dominant F1

Target: ma-separate agad ang pullets (hens) at cockerels (roosters) sa D102 at D853.

D102 (Dominant Brown D102) – Color sexing

1. Ilawan nang maliwanag at siguraduhing warm ang brooder para mabilis ang inspeksyon.

2. Tingnan ang down color:

Male/cockerel = yellow/cream.

Female/pullet = brown. Ito ang effect ng Silver/Gold (S/s) gene na ginagamit sa cross na ito.

3. Ihiwalay at i-mark (leg band o non-toxic marker) at ilista ang bilang.

4. Quality check: kung may “hindi sigurado,” i-obserbahan muli pagkatapos mag-fluff (same day) bago ibalik sa brooder. (May rare exceptions talaga sa color-sexing.)

D853 (Dominant Red D853) – Feather (wing) sexing

1. 12–24 hrs old: pumili ng sisiw, dahan-dahang ibuka ang isang pakpak.

2. I-compare ang wing feathers (primaries vs coverts):

Female/pullet (fast-feathering): ang primaries mas mahaba at “staggered” kaysa coverts.

Male/cockerel (slow-feathering): kapantay o mas maikli ang primaries kaysa coverts; mukhang isang even row.

3. Ihiwalay at i-mark agad ang napili; tuloy-tuloy ang ritmo para hindi malamigan ang mga sisiw.

4. Spot-check accuracy sa ilang sample matapos 1–3 araw—dapat lalong lumitaw ang feather-growth difference. (Feather-sexing ay standard method sa sex-linked crosses.)

Pro tips (mabilis lang)

Hands warm + gentle handling para iwas stress.

One method per line: color-sex lang sa D102; feather-sex lang sa D853 (huwag ihalo ang criteria).

Record-keeping: batch ID, oras, at counter ng male/female para sa farm planning (layers vs. inasal/broiler use).

Bakit nga ba mas gusto namin ng free-range chicken?

10 benefits of free-range chickens vs. caged/broiler style, plus a note on profitability:

---

🐓 10 Benefits of Free-Range Chicken

1. Mas malasa at malinamnam ang karne
– Dahil nagra-range sila, mas developed ang muscles, mas firm at tasty ang meat.

2. Mas mataas ang kalidad ng itlog
– Free-range eggs usually have deeper yolk color, mas rich in nutrients like omega-3 and vitamins.

3. Natural na exercise ng manok
– Dahil gumagala sila, mas healthy, less stress, at mas mababa ang risk ng sakit.

4. Less gastos sa feeds
– Kumakain sila ng damo, insects, at natural forage, kaya bawas ang commercial feeds consumption.

5. Eco-friendly farming
– Mas sustainable kasi ginagamit ang natural environment at less waste build-up compared sa caged systems.

6. Mas mataas ang benta (premium price)
– Free-range chickens and eggs nabebenta ng mas mataas kasi health-conscious ang market.

7. Better animal welfare
– Consumers ngayon conscious sa humane treatment ng animals, so mas may demand ang free-range.

8. Mas mababa ang mortality rate
– Dahil hindi siksikan at mas fresh ang environment, less chances ng disease outbreak.

9. Mas diversified income
– Pwede mong i-market both meat at eggs, pati by-products (like manure for organic fertilizer).

10. Mas madaling i-brand at i-market
– Madaling i-sell ang “free-range, healthy, natural” branding kaysa sa regular broiler or caged eggs.

---

💰 Is it profitable?

Oo, profitable siya kung tama ang management:

Mas mataas ang presyo sa market (pwedeng 20–50% more expensive than commercial chicken/eggs).

Mas mababa ang feed cost (lalo na kung may access sa forage at natural food sources).

Loyal customer base – health-conscious, organic buyers, restaurants, at specialty stores willing to pay premium.

Downside lang: mas matagal lumaki ang free-range chickens vs. broilers, pero compensated naman sa higher selling price at lower cost of feeds.

Bkit nga ba namin lagi sinasabi na dominant F1 lagi ang piliin nyo...

👍 Eto ang explanation namin dyan..

---

Bakit Superior F1 Dominant ang Piliin Mo?

👉 1. Mas Malakas at Mas Matibay
Yung Superior F1 ay galing sa cross ng dalawang pure breeds. Dahil dito, meron siyang hybrid vigor – ibig sabihin mas matibay, mas mabilis lumaki, at mas healthy kaysa sa mga ordinaryong manok.
Kung ikukumpara sa backyard native o in**ed lines, mas less ang sickness at mas mataas ang survival rate ng F1.

👉 2. Mas Magandang Kita
Kung layer (pangkabuhayan sa itlog) o meat-type (pangkabuhayan sa karne), ang F1 ay mas consistent ang performance.

Layers (F1 Dominant): Mas mataas ang egg production, mas uniform ang size, at mas maayos ang shell quality.

Broilers / Meat-type: Mas mabilis lumaki, mas maganda ang meat conversion, at mas maganda ang carcass quality.

👉 3. Uniform at Predictable Results
Pag sinabi mong F1, pare-pareho halos ang output – parehong laki, parehong hitsura, parehong performance. Hindi tulad ng ordinaryong halo-halo o in**ed na manok na unpredictable ang resulta.

👉 4. Hindi Pang-Breeding, Pang-Business
Mahalagang tandaan: Ang Superior F1 ay hindi ginagamit sa pagpapa-breed. Ginawa talaga siya para sa production – kung gusto mong kumita sa itlog o sa karne.
Kung gagamitin mo siyang breeder, bababa ang quality ng susunod na generation (F2), kaya hindi na consistent.
Kaya kung seryoso ka sa negosyo, stick ka sa F1 for production, hindi sa F2.

👉 5. Sulit ang Investment
Mas mabilis ang balik ng puhunan dahil mataas ang production at mas kaunti ang talo. Hindi ka magsasayang ng oras at pakain sa mga manok na hindi productive.

---

✅ Conclusion (pang-convince sa tao):
Kung gusto mong maging sigurado sa kita, sa quality, at sa tibay ng manok mo, piliin mo ang Superior F1 Dominant.
Hindi ito basta manok lang – ito ay resulta ng maingat na breeding para ibigay sa’yo ang best performance sa production.
👉 “Kung pang-negosyo, Dominant superior F1 ka. Kung pang-experiment lang, doon ka sa iba.”

This is the estimate ng feed consumption ng Dominant 102 at Dominant 853 (RIR Superior F1) kasama ang potential contribution ng organic feeds at forages.

---

🐔 Feed Consumption – Dominant CZ Layers

🔹 1. Dominant CZ 102 (Brown F1)

Daily feed intake (18–78 weeks): ~120–125 g per hen/day

Monthly equivalent: ~3.6–3.8 kg per hen/month

Per year: ~45 kg feed per hen/year

---

🔹 2. Dominant D853 (RIR Superior F1)

Almost same level kasi parehong layer type at medium body:

Daily feed intake: ~122–128 g per hen/day

Monthly equivalent: ~3.7–3.9 kg per hen/month

Per year: ~46–47 kg feed per hen/year

(Source data: official Dominant CZ performance guide + layer standards; adapted for tropical free-range settings)

---

🌱 Contribution of Organic Feeds and Forages

Kapag free-range or semi-free-range ang sistema:

Forage & scavenging contribution (insects, grass, legumes, kitchen scraps, etc.):

Can supply 10–25% ng daily intake (depende sa range quality at season).

Halimbawa: kung hen consumes 120 g/day → ~15–30 g puwedeng manggaling sa forage.

Organic supplementation (like cracked corn, rice bran/darak, copra meal, azolla, duckweed, moringa, madre de agua, etc.):

Puwedeng bawasan ang commercial concentrate needs by another 10–15% kung balanced ang formulation.

---

🧮 Simplified Example (per hen)

Item Dominant 102 Dominant 853 RIR

Daily (concentrates) 120 g 125 g
From forages (10–25%) 15–30 g 15–30 g
From organic by-products 10–20 g 10–20 g
Net commercial feed 80–95 g 85–100 g
Monthly feed (with forage) 2.8–3.0 kg 3.0–3.2 kg

---

👉 Key takeaway:

Kung pure commercial feeds → 3.6–3.9 kg per month per hen.

Kung may organic + forage supplementation → mabababa sa ~2.8–3.2 kg per month per hen.

Resulta: mas tipid sa gastos, mas healthy pa ang itlog (higher yolk color, better taste, better omega profile).

Ang Dominant D853 (minsan tinatawag na Dominant RIR) ay isa pang superior F1 hybrid layer mula sa Dominant CZ, at nakabase sa Rhode Island Red (RIR) na lahi.

🐔 Dominant D853 (RIR Superior F1 Hybrid Layer)

🔹 Origin and Hybrid Type

Developed by Dominant CZ Breeding Company (Czech Republic).

Isa itong F1 hybrid layer, ibig sabihin first generation cross mula sa carefully selected Rhode Island Red lines.

Designed para maging high-performing brown egg layer na may hybrid vigor (mas matibay, mas productive, at uniform).

Consistent sa performance → hindi recommended as breeding stock (same principle as D102).

---

🔹 Egg Production

Start laying: around 18 -20 weeks.

Eggs per year: ~300–310 brown eggs.

Egg weight: ~61–63 g (medium to large).

Long laying cycle, stable performance hanggang 78 weeks or more.

---

🔹 Body at Temperament

Plumage: Classic deep mahogany red/brown feathers – katulad ng traditional Rhode Island Red look.

Medium body size → efficient sa feeds.

Calm, friendly temperament → good for backyard or commercial setting.

Well-suited sa intensive housing and free-range systems.

---

🔹 Health and Survival

High chick survival rate (94–98%).

Strong disease resistance and adaptability sa hot climates (tropical suitability).

Robust bones and body frame → makakatulong sa longevity ng laying cycle.

---

🔹 Advantage sa Production

Dual-purpose potential:

Hens = good layers of brown eggs.

Males = pwede i-grow as meat birds (mas matibay at mas maganda ang body build kaysa sa ibang layer males).

Feed-to-egg efficiency: consistent at economical.

Adaptability: kaya sa backyard, small farms, at commercial free-range.

🐔 Dominant CZ 102 (Superior F1 Hybrid Layer)

🔹 Origin and Hybrid Type

Galing sa Dominant CZ Breeding Company (Czech Republic).

Isa itong F1 hybrid → ibig sabihin first generation cross ng selected parent lines.

Dahil F1 siya, meron itong hybrid vigor (heterosis) = mas mataas na productivity, tibay, at consistency kumpara sa pure breeds o farm-cross.

Hindi siya dapat gamitin for breeding kasi hindi stable ang susunod na generation. Nakafocus lang siya sa commercial egg production.

---

🔹 Egg Production

Nagsisimula maglay sa 18 to 20 weeks

Average ng 300–320 brown eggs per year.

Egg size: medium to large (60–62 g).

Long laying cycle (umaabot ng 18 months or more).

---

🔹 Body at Temperament

Medium body size (lighter kaysa dual-purpose breeds → better feed efficiency).

Calm and docile ang ugali, kaya hindi stress-prone at madaling isama sa flock.

Pwede sa intensive housing (cages) at extensive/free-range system.

---

🔹 Health and Survival

High chick survival rate (94–99%).

Strong disease resistance, kaya kaya ang hot or cold climates.

Mas mababa mortality rate compared sa ibang layer hybrids kung maayos ang management.

---

🔹 Advantage sa Production

Feed efficiency – mas maraming eggs sa mas kaunting feeds.

Economic layer – lower maintenance cost.

Free-range suitability – magaling mag-forage kaya pwedeng makatipid sa pakain.

Yung male chicks (cockerels) pwedeng i-grow as meat chickens, mas matibay sila sa free-range kaysa sa ibang male layer chicks.

Feature Dominant CZ 102 (F1)

Eggs/year 300–320 brown eggs
Egg weight 60–62 g
Feed consumption ~120–125 g/day
Survival rate 94–99% chicks, 93–96% up to 78 weeks
Temperament Calm, easy to manage
Adaptability Good for cage at free-range systems
Special strength Superior F1 hybrid vigor, consistent laying, dual-purpose option (eggs + meat for cockerels)

---

👉 In short, ang Dominant CZ 102 (Superior F1) ay ideal choice para sa small-to-medium farms na gusto ng consistent egg production, matibay na survival rate, at adaptability sa iba't ibang environment.
