They all get different types of feed. Cattle cannot be fed animal-byproducts of any sort, but chickens can. Layers need to be fed grain that is high in calcium and phosphorus and protein. Broilers are fed feed high in protein and energy to increase muscle mass. CHickens can be fed a variety of grains: barley, corn, wheat, rye, etc. and live off of this with no problems. Cattle can also be fed a variety of grains, but need a roughage diet to balance out the high-protein ration to decrease the incidence of bloat and acidosis. Cattle cannot live off of grain like chickens can, and need to eat grass and/or hay along with the serving of grain they get.
