I was talking with the owner of my local feed mill yesterday. I asked him what the difference was between layer feed and swine feed, his reply was the main difference was the vitamin pack, and the swine feed is 14% vs the layer that is 16%. Looking at the ingredients it seems that the main differences are
Chicken Feed Swine Feed
Crude Protein 16% 14%
Crude Fat minimum 3% 3%
Crude Fiber max 6% 5%
B-12 B
Vit. K
By using swine feed as chicken feed as well I'd be able to reduce feed costs by $80 per ton, and I would be able to purchase by the ton instead of 50# bag.
What do you all think?
Thanks
