Sunflower seeds are a common food crop, which can also be processed into sunflower oil and sunflower head meal. Sunflower head meal is a kind of feed material made from sunflower seeds after grinding and de-oiling. Sunflower head meal is rich in high-quality protein, fatty acids and a variety of trace elements, the appropriate amount added to the feed can improve the nutritional value of the feed.

For chicken feeding, protein is a very important nutrient. Sunflower head powder has a high protein content, which can provide part of the protein needed by chickens. At the same time, the fatty acids and trace elements in sunflower head meal also contribute to the growth and health of chickens.

However, it is important to note that although sunflower head meal is beneficial to chicken feeding, it should be added in moderation and not in excess. Excessive amount of sunflower head meal may cause the balance of the feed to be disrupted, affecting the digestion and absorption of the chickens. In addition, sunflower head meal may contain certain anti-nutritional factors, which may negatively affect the health of chickens if added excessively.

In summary, sunflower head powder can be used as one of the feed ingredients for chickens, but it needs to be added in moderation to ensure the balance of the feed and to pay attention to the digestion and absorption of the chickens. The optimal feed formula should be considered according to the breed of chicken, growth stage and other feed ingredients. For specific feeding programs, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or feeding specialist for more accurate advice.
