Can anyone give me the ingredients?

It's on their website, as is the case for any brand/type of feed.

Just a couple of key strokes on google.

I have never seen the ingredients on their website & couldn't find it today either. Most feed tags don't actually tell you what's in the feed, it's just grain products, plant protein products etc. Purina is one of the biggest offenders, but not the only one.
Sorry, I thought all feed manufacturers put the feed label on the website.
I've never bought a feed (other than a custom blend from a local mill) that didn't list all the ingredients and guaranteed analysis.
Here's the ingredients and analysis from the feed tag of Home Grown Layer 16% which is made by Purina so I imagine the ingredients are pretty similar to Layena.
http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=18408
I do know that flock raiser is an all vegetable feed. No animal products.
This is one of the feeds I currently use the label from the Nature's Grown website is identical to the one on the bag.

Here's the feed tags of all Nature's Seasons feed with all the ingredients.
http://www.americanagco.com/documents/Poultry_Game_Bird_Program.pdf
I just looked at an old tag from Purina Start & Grow and it has complete ingredients listed.
Here's the tag from MFAs feed
http://www.mfa-inc.com/Portals/0/Game Bird Grower_Finisher.pdf
Buckeye concentrate label
http://www.buckeyenutrition.com/media/137741/40_pct_poultry concentrate.pdf
As I said, I've never seen a bag of feed without ingredients listed.
When a mfg. doesn't put the ingredients on the web, that tells me they change from time to time. They will still be on the bag though since the formula is programmed in at the mill and they'll have the mfg. date, lot number, analysis, ingredients and feeding instructions.

Good job Chris.
Some feed Mfg's cheap out on there website and don't post ingredients.
For me that's a major down fall, just like not having animal proteins in there poultry feed.
By law all feed bags must have a ingredients list and guaranteed analysis unless it is your own custom mix.
Thanks,
Took me some time to find it, but it was found.
Mazuri go's above and beyond the call of duty..
IMO This is what should be found on all feed mfg web site for every feed.

Wow, that is a fabulous analysis breakdown. They all have that information or they couldn't consider it a complete feed if they didn't know the amino acid, vitatmin, mineral and trace element content.
