What all brands of poultry feed contain animal bi-products?

The local feed store that I use is closing. There is another Farm and Feed store that is willing to order feed from some companies. What products are available WITH animal bi-products?

Tucker Milling has porcine protein and comes out of Alabama-it's what I use exclusively nowadays. ADM Alliance used to have animal protein and I think it still does, but you'd have to check to be 100% sure on that.

That ends up being a tricky question, if only because makers are reticent about publishing ingredient lists.

I have tags from Nutrena starter and Dumor layer pellets that list "animal protein products", but formulations change sometimes.

Prime Quality http://primequalityfeeds.com/feeds/poultry_cf_Laymaker.shtml lists animal protein in ingredient lists on their website.




Or... you can do what I'm getting ready to do -- order some fish meal and Nutri-Balancer and mix your own feeds using your favorite grains.

If memory serves me correctly, Nutrena Country Feed contains animal by products but their Nature Wise line does not. If you go to their websites, it takes some digging but you can usually find a list of ingredients.

My chicks started out on their Nature Wise line and when I went to buy more feed one time, the guy brought out the Country Feed. I was frustrated because you ask for one thing at the register, pay and then go wait by your car and you never know what they will bring out. So I switched to a smaller company that sells primarily in CA and I feel has higher quality ingredients. And the chickens will eat it. They won't touch the Nutrena Country Feed.

What's really interesting, is the King Brand I'm using now has less % calcium than the Nutrena. But it must be in a form that is more readily absorbed by chickens because they don't touch their oyster shells on this new feed. And their shells are just as thick and strong as ever.

So definitely do your homework and watch to see what the chickens like and what they eat and how they looks and perform on that feed.

If you have a feed store that carries Buckeye their line of poultry feeds have animal products in them.

kathyinmo,
Buckeye Feed, Kent, Evergreen, and Blue Seal should all have Animal Proteins in it.
You can even use a 18 to 20 percent game bird feed that contains Animal Proteins.

Oh, thank you! I found a farm that orders Kent Feeds. That's what I will do!

I would look Kent up. if I remember right they do not carry animal protien anymore. I can vouce for ADM I use them myself even have to travel 30 miles to get it. There feed is also called Pen Pals.
