Complete Fugo Animal Feeds Guide Kenya 2026 – Every Product, What It Does & Who Needs It

For: Dairy cows in milk — Friesian, Ayrshire, Jersey, crossbreeds

What it does: A balanced protein-energy concentrate that fills the nutritional gap between what your pasture or hay provides and what a high-yielding cow actually needs. Crude protein of 16–18% directly supports milk synthesis. The calcium-phosphorus balance supports udder health and bone strength.

Key benefit: Farmers consistently report 2–4 extra litres per cow per day when switching from generic meal to genuine Fugo Dairy Meal — simply because the formulation is consistent and complete.

Feeding rate: 1 kg per 3–4 litres of daily milk production, split morning and evening.

For: Replacement heifers from weaning to first calving (typically 4 months to 24 months)

What it does: Most Kenyan farmers underfeed replacement heifers — then wonder why first-lactation milk is disappointing. Heifer Gro provides the specific protein, energy and mineral profile needed during the critical growth window. A heifer that reaches first calving at the correct body weight (350–380 kg for Friesian) will produce significantly more milk across her lifetime.

Key benefit: Proper heifer nutrition pays back 10x in lifetime milk production. This is the cheapest investment in your dairy future.

Feeding rate: 1–2 kg/day alongside quality roughage. Increase as the heifer grows.

For: Dairy calves from 1 week to 3 months old

What it does: The first 90 days of a calf's life are the most important. Fugo Calf Starter is highly digestible, with fine particle size suited to a developing rumen. It's designed to encourage early dry feed intake so calves can be weaned off expensive milk sooner — without the growth check that poorly managed weaning causes.

Key benefit: Calves on Fugo Calf Starter typically wean 2–3 weeks earlier than those on generic meal, saving farmers significant milk replacement costs.

Feeding rate: Introduce at 50g/day from week 1, increase to 500–700g/day by month 3. Always offer clean water.

For: Dry cows (21–60 days before calving) and high-producing dairy cows

What it does: Transition cows have unique mineral needs that standard dairy meal doesn't fully cover. Calcium, magnesium and phosphorus balance during the dry period directly determines whether your cow gets milk fever, retained placenta, or metritis after calving. Getting this right means your cow bounces back to peak milk faster.

Key benefit: Prevents costly transition diseases. Farmers who use proper dry cow minerals see fewer post-calving complications and faster returns to peak milk.

For: Day-old chicks and ducklings up to 8 weeks old (layers, broilers, kienyeji, ducks)

What it does: The highest-protein feed in the Fugo poultry range (20–22% CP). Fine mash texture suits the small beaks and sensitive digestive tracts of young chicks. Contains coccidiostat to prevent coccidiosis — the biggest killer of young chicks in Kenya — plus vitamins A, D3, E and B-complex for immunity and rapid early growth.

Key benefit: Day 1–8 weeks is when you build the frame of your bird. Cutting corners here means underperforming adults regardless of what you feed later.

Feeding rate: Ad lib (always available) for first 2 weeks. From week 3: 30–50g/bird/day.

For: Pullets aged 8–18 weeks (the growing phase before point of lay)

What it does: Bridges the gap between chick starter and layer feed. Protein drops to 16–17% CP — intentionally lower than starter — because growing pullets need frame development, not egg production. Feeding layer feed too early causes premature laying, small eggs, and shortened productive life. Fugo Growers Mash gets the timing right.

Key benefit: Pullets raised on Growers Mash hit point of lay at the right body weight and produce bigger eggs from the start.

Feeding rate: 60–80g/bird/day. Transition to Layer Compleat around 18 weeks.

For: Laying hens from point of lay through the entire production cycle

What it does: The word "Compleat" means exactly that — no mixing required. Provides 17–18% crude protein plus the highest calcium level in the range (3.5–4%) for strong shell formation. Also contains lysine and methionine for egg protein, and a coccidiostat. This is the most nutritionally complete layer feed Unga Farm Care produces.

Key benefit: Consistent 80–90% hen day production rate in healthy, well-managed flocks. Strong, uniform shells that reduce breakage and improve marketability.

Feeding rate: 110–120g/bird/day at peak lay. Never dilute with maize — it breaks the formula.

For: Indigenous and improved kienyeji chickens from 8 weeks to point of lay

What it does: Kienyeji breeds have slower metabolisms and different gut microbiomes than commercial hybrids. This feed is calibrated to match — lower energy density prevents excessive fat deposition, while 15–16% CP supports steady frame growth. It works alongside free-range foraging, not against it.

Key benefit: KARI Improved Kienyeji birds supplemented with this feed reach point of lay at 18–22 weeks instead of 26–32 weeks on forage alone — a full month earlier.

For: Broiler chicks, day 1 to end of week 2

What it does: The highest-energy, highest-protein feed in the broiler programme at 22–23% CP. Crumble texture is the optimal form for young broiler chicks — easy to pick up, minimal wastage, maximum intake. Contains amino acid balancing for rapid muscle development.

Key benefit: The first 14 days determine the ceiling for your broiler's final weight. Fugo Starter sets that ceiling high.

For: Broilers, week 3 to week 4

What it does: Pellet form for growing broilers. Protein drops to 19–20% CP as energy proportion increases — matching the bird's shift from skeletal development to muscle mass accumulation. Pelleted feed means 8–12% less wastage compared to mash at this stage.

For: Broilers from week 5 to slaughter

What it does: High energy concentration (ME ≈ 3,100 kcal/kg) maximizes weight gain in the final 2 weeks before slaughter. The "Fast Gro" formulation specifically targets the rapid muscle deposition that produces market-ready birds with good carcass yield.

Key benefit: Broilers on a complete Fugo programme consistently reach 2.0–2.4 kg live weight by day 42 under good management.

For: Suckling piglets from 7–10 days old until weaning

What it does: Introduces solid feed to piglets while still on the sow, training gut enzymes for dry feed digestion. High-protein (20%+ CP), highly palatable pellets in a size piglets can manage. The gut education here determines how smoothly weaning goes and eliminates costly post-weaning growth check.

For: Weaners (6–12 weeks) and nursing sows

What it does: A dual-purpose feed — high enough in protein (18% CP) for rapid weaner growth, and dense enough to maintain sow body condition through lactation. Sows that maintain condition return to heat 5–7 days faster, meaning more litters per year.

For: Growing pigs from 12 to approximately 22 weeks (25–60 kg)

What it does: At this stage, pigs are capable of 600–800g daily gain. Fugo Pig Grower provides 16% CP and the energy density to sustain this rate. Every week saved in reaching slaughter weight is a week of feed saved.

For: Finishing pigs from 60 kg to slaughter weight (80–110 kg)

What it does: Slightly lower protein (14–15% CP) than the grower phase — at finishing, energy drives fat deposition and marbling that make pork marketable. Well-finished pigs command better prices at market and better carcass quality.

For: Gestating sows and boars

What it does: Controlled energy with targeted protein (16% CP) and elevated folic acid, biotin and selenium for embryo survival and piglet vitality. Keeps the breeding sow in optimal condition without fattening her — overfat sows have difficult farrowings and poor milk letdown.

Key benefit: Sows on proper gestation nutrition farrow larger, heavier litters with fewer stillbirths — the single biggest driver of pig farm profitability.

For: Horses in work, breeding horses, performance horses

What it does: Horses are hindgut fermenters with very different digestive physiology from ruminants. Fugo Horse feed respects this — controlled starch level to avoid laminitis, elevated vitamin E and selenium for muscle function, and biotin for hoof quality. Cube format slows intake and reduces choke risk.

Key benefit: Consistent energy without "hot" behaviour that high-starch feeds cause. Horses maintain steady working condition and healthy hooves.

For: Cattle, sheep, goats, horses — all grazing livestock

What it does: Kenyan pastures — especially during dry seasons — are deficient in sodium, selenium, copper, zinc and cobalt. These invisible deficiencies cause poor reproduction, weak calves, rough coats and slow growth. Mineral licks provide free-choice access, allowing animals to self-regulate intake based on their needs.

Key benefit: The cheapest insurance in livestock farming. One block per 10–15 animals prevents deficiency diseases that cost far more to treat.
