HS Code 2309.90

Compound feed for country (native) chicken, made in India and exported through Chennai Port. Supplied in two stages: a starter crumble at 19–21% crude protein for chicks from day-old to 8 weeks, and a finisher pellet at 15–18% for birds from 8 to 16 weeks. Country chicken grow more slowly than commercial broilers, so these feeds are balanced for their growth pattern.
