Featured Product: PolyGROW Powder

PolyGROW Powder is a high-performance, protein and fat-based growth supplement formulated for Pakistani broilers. It improves feed conversion ratio, accelerates weight gain and supports uniform flock development. Mix into feed at the recommended rate from Day 1 through market weight.

Pakistan’s poultry industry processes over 1.5 billion broiler birds annually. With feed, chick, medicine, and energy costs rising every year, maximising weight gain per kilogram of feed is the difference between profit and loss. Yet many Pakistani farmers consistently struggle with poor FCR, below-target live weights, and longer-than-optimal days-to-market.

At Poulive Trading, our flagship supplement PolyGROW Powder is a scientifically formulated Protein and Fat-based Growth Promoter Feed Premix designed to help broilers reach market weight faster, more efficiently, and with stronger overall health. This guide explains what drives broiler growth and how the right premix transforms results on your farm.

Why Do Pakistani Broilers Underperform?

  • Nutrient gaps in base feed: Standard commercial feeds often fall short on essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals
  • Heat stress: High summer temperatures reduce feed intake by up to 20%, directly slashing weight gain
  • Vaccination and antibiotic stress: Multiple treatment programmes suppress appetite and redirect nutrients away from growth
  • Mycotoxin contamination: Damages the gut lining and liver, reducing nutrient absorption
  • Calcium and phosphorus imbalance: Leads to poor skeletal development and leg problems that limit movement and feeding

What Is PolyGROW Powder?

PolyGROW Powder is a premium feed premix from Poulive Trading containing a balanced blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, macro and micro nutrients, proteins, and fats — all formulated to fill the nutritional gaps in standard commercial feed. Key indications include:

  • Promoting rapid weight gain in broilers
  • Preventing and relieving all types of stress: heat, handling, vaccination, antibiotic therapy, transportation, and production stress
  • Improving production performance and feed conversion ratio (FCR)
  • Developing enhanced body resistance against infections
  • Ensuring optimum calcium and phosphorus levels in serum
  • Correcting vitamin deficiency and mycotoxicosis-related metabolic disruption

PolyGROW Powder Dosage

  • Broilers: 100–150 g per 50 kg bag of feed — mix thoroughly throughout the batch
  • Laying Hens: 75 g per 50 kg bag of feed
  • Cattle and Buffalo: 50 g per 50 kg of feed
  • Sheep and Goat: 25 g per 50 kg of feed

Use throughout the entire grow-out period for continuous performance support, or increase to the maximum dose (150 g/50 kg) during periods of heat stress, disease challenge, or post-vaccination recovery.

The Science: Why Protein and Fat Drive Broiler Growth

Protein and Amino Acids

Muscle is protein. Every kilogram of lean broiler meat is built from dietary amino acids. Commercial feeds often have adequate crude protein percentages but fall short on essential amino acids — particularly lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan — that set the ceiling on how fast muscles grow. PolyGROW corrects these imbalances, ensuring dietary protein is efficiently converted to muscle rather than excreted as nitrogen waste.

Dietary Fat and Energy Density

Fat is the most energy-dense nutrient available — providing 2.25× more metabolisable energy per gram than carbohydrates. During hot Pakistani summers when birds voluntarily reduce feed intake, the fat fraction in PolyGROW maintains energy density in the diet, preventing the energy deficit that causes growth stalls. Fat also improves absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Key Vitamins and Minerals in PolyGROW

  • Vitamin A: Gut integrity, immune function, and reproductive performance
  • Vitamin D3: Calcium absorption and bone formation — deficiency causes leg weakness and rickets
  • Vitamin E: Antioxidant — protects muscle tissue and boosts vaccine antibody response
  • B-Vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Folic Acid, Biotin): Energy metabolism, protein synthesis, red blood cell formation
  • Calcium and Phosphorus: Bone mineralisation and eggshell formation
  • Zinc and Manganese: Immune function, feather development, and bone health
  • Selenium: Works with Vitamin E to prevent oxidative muscle damage

Managing Heat Stress to Protect Broiler Growth

During Pakistani summer months (May–September), temperatures frequently exceed 40°C. Heat stress causes panting, reducing blood pH and redirecting energy from growth to thermoregulation. Key strategies:

  • Use PolyGROW at maximum dose (150 g/50 kg feed) during summer
  • Supplement drinking water with electrolytes (NUTRIGEN LIQUID)
  • Ensure adequate ventilation and evaporative cooling — reduce stocking density if needed
  • Feed birds during the coolest parts of the day — early morning and evening
  • Never allow feed withdrawal during heat stress

Key Broiler Performance Targets

  • Average Daily Gain (ADG): Target 60–70 g/bird/day for modern broiler strains
  • Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR): Target below 1.80 for a 35-day grow-out
  • Livability/Survival Rate: Target above 96%
  • Body Weight Uniformity: Coefficient of variation (CV) below 10%
  • European Production Efficiency Factor (EPEF): Target above 400
