Growing Your Chicken's Own Feed?

Date sort Score sort
WOW! TYVM, did you happen to find a feed mic for meat birds? I know I can buy the wheat and corn from local farmers, gonna price out the other ingredients......if you are finding this info on a website, please share the source? I also need to work out blends for Turkeys and Pigs.....as well as the meat chickens...... This also gives me the chance to create 100% nonGMO feeds!
 
My info came from a book series, everything you need to know to live off the land. It has basically all you could ever want to know. There's also the companion, to survive in the wild, and to plant a garden

I do have telephone access to world class Agricultural College and University, and they would have crop lists for our climate.....Guelph Univ and Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology.....in fact I took a course at Kemptville decades ago!
 
Mother Earth News has several articles on making your own poultry feed. This article has a comment that the best feed depends on the bird itself and mentions a book on pastured poultry.

Book on pastured poultry mentioned in article above:
A good place to start in understanding the nutritional needs of poultry is Feeding Poultry on Pasture, a book Jeff produced in 2013. Available from MOSES, this 100-page reference contains a wealth of information on feed ingredients and rations, including comprehensive charts on the nutritional needs of various types of poultry. It also has charts with the nutritional analysis of numerous grains and feed ingredients.
