Hello, I currently feed my ducks and geese 18% feed from a local supplier, and I supplement with niacin in the water. For starter feed, I have tried just going with the 18% and my ducks look a little underweight (they are meat ducks). I'm feeding them a soy free feed, and the 18% is the highest concentration they recommend because the soy-free options don't allow a great balancing if you go much higher.
One idea I came up with is to use pea protein powder to increase the protein concentration. Since it's about 80% protein, it won't throw off the other macros in the feed to much if I mix it up to 22%.
Any thoughts? Anyone tried such a thing, or have other recommendations for high-protein soy-free feed? Anyone tried this and recommend a good source of the protein online in bulk (50ish lbs)?
