Bahut saare chicken keepers mealworms dena pasand karte hain kyunki hens unhe bahut enjoy karti hain. Lekin kaafi log sahi quantity jaane bina bahut zyada mealworms de dete hain. Mealworms healthy hote hain, par ye bahut strong treats hote hain. Agar aap zyada de do, toh ye help karne ke bajaye hens ki health ko nuksaan pahucha sakte hain.

Mealworms mein bahut saare ache nutrients hote hain, par hens ko fir bhi ek balanced diet chahiye hoti hai jo mainly layer feed se milti hai. Jab mealworms diet ka zyada hissa ban jaate hain, toh balance bigad jata hai. Isi liye sahi quantity jaanna chicken keepers ke liye sabse zaroori cheezon me se ek hai.

1. Portion Size Kyu Important Hai

Bahut saare beginners sochte hain ki "Mealworms healthy hain, toh zyada dena aur bhi acha hoga." Lekin ye sahi nahi hai. Mealworms mein protein aur fat bahut high hota hai, jisse ye hens ke liye powerful treats ban jaate hain. Ye nutrients strong feathers, fast growth aur steady egg production mein help karte hain. Choti quantity mein mealworms healthy flock banate hain.

Lekin yehi nutrients agar zyada quantity mein diye jaayein, toh problems create karte hain. Bahut zyada mealworms diet ke balance ko bigaad dete hain. Hens phir layer feed kam khaane lagti hain. Jab hens apni main feed ignore kar deti hain, toh wo calcium, vitamins, minerals, aur essential nutrients se vanchit reh jaati hain.

Agar mealworms zyada diye jaayein toh:

Hens ka weight increase ho sakta hai, especially belly aur organs ke around.
Egg production drop ho sakti hai.
Eggs soft-shelled ya thin-shelled aa sakte hain.
Digestive problems aur loose droppings ho sakte hain.
Hens main feed kam khayengi, jisse long-term health issues ho sakte hain.

Isi liye mealworms ko treats hi rehna chahiye, full meal nahi.

2. Mealworm Nutrition Basics

Mealworms mein 45–55% protein hota hai, jo normal chicken feed se kaafi zyada hai (layer feed 16–18%). Isi huge difference ki wajah se mealworms hamesha limit mein dene chahiye. Excess protein hens ke kidneys par strain dal sakta hai.

Mealworms mein healthy fats bhi hote hain jo quick energy dete hain. Hens unhe taste aur easy digestion ke kaaran bahut pasand karti hain. Dried mealworms ka crunchy texture hens ke liye fun activity hota hai.

Mealworms mein yeh bhi hota hai:

Natural fiber
Iron aur small minerals
Live mealworms mein moisture

Is mix ke kaaran mealworms especially useful hote hain jab hens ko extra support chahiye hota hai — jaise molting season mein.

3. Safe Mealworm Serving Kitne Hain

Most trusted guides aur poultry experts ek cheez par agree karte hain: mealworms hamesha chhoti aur controlled quantity mein dene chahiye.

A simple aur safe amount hai 10–15 mealworms per hen, week mein do se teen baar. Itni quantity se hens ko health benefits mil jaate hain aur diet bhi disturb nahi hoti. Bahut saare chicken keepers is routine ko long-term follow karte hain.

Agar aap daily mealworms dena chahte ho, toh quantity aur kam honi chahiye — 10–20 mealworms per hen per day, bird ki size ke hisaab se. Is daily amount ko kabhi increase nahi karna chahiye, aur hens ko weight gain ya behavior changes ke liye check karna zaroori hai. Kuch breeds, jaise Orpingtons aur Brahmas, jaldi weight gain karti hain, isliye unhe aur bhi kam mealworms dene chahiye.

Ek simple rule jo kaafi keepers follow karte hain: saare treats, mealworms samet, total diet ka sirf 10% hone chahiye. Isse hens apni layer feed theek se khati rehti hain, jo unhe calcium aur minerals provide karti hai — strong eggs aur strong bones ke liye.

Beginners ya choti backyard flocks ke liye, sabse safe hai ki 10 worms per hen per day se bhi kam quantity se shuru karein, aur zarurat ke hisaab se adjust karein. Ye approach follow karne se zyada tar flocks healthy aur happy rehti hain.

5. Mealworms Ke Types Aur Quantity Ka Difference

Mealworms alag–alag forms mein aate hain: live, dried, ya ground.

Live mealworms soft hote hain aur unmein moisture hota hai. Ye dried mealworms se kam concentrated hote hain, isliye hens ko utne hi nutrients paane ke liye thoda zyada quantity chahiye hoti hai. Live mealworms hens ko natural scratching aur foraging karne ke liye encourage karte hain, jo unke mental activity ke liye accha hota hai.

Dried mealworms bahut common hote hain kyunki ye store karne mein easy hote hain aur lambe time tak chal jaate hain. Lekin dried mealworms zyada strong hote hain kyunki unka water remove hota hai. Iska matlab unmein har gram mein zyada protein hota hai. Hens ko dried mealworms chhoti quantity mein dene chahiye taaki overfeeding na ho.

Ground mealworm powder bahut concentrated hota hai aur isse dhyan se use karna chahiye. Feed mein thodi si amount mix karna kaafi hoti hai. Iska use mostly log protein boost karne ke liye karte hain, especially molting ke time.

Young chicks ke liye mealworms extra care ke saath dene chahiye. Chicks ko sirf small ya crushed mealworms dene chahiye jab tak woh lagbhag eight weeks ke nahi ho jaate. Chicks bade worms se aasani se choke ho sakte hain, isliye size bahut matter karta hai.

6. Overfeeding Ke Signs

Zyada mealworms dene se problems ho sakti hain. Hens overweight ho sakti hain, jisse egg production kam ho jaata hai. Kuch hens soft-shelled eggs bhi lay kar sakti hain kyunki unka diet unbalanced ho jaata hai. Aap runny poop ya appetite mein changes bhi notice kar sakte ho. Agar hens sirf treats ka wait karne lagen aur apna layer feed khana kam kar dein, toh iska matlab hai ki unhe bahut zyada mealworms mil rahe hain. Agar inme se koi bhi sign dikhe, toh treat amount ko turant kam karna zaroori hai.
