Hi,
I have a small flock and want them to be as organic as possible. Our flock is for personal use, mostly eggs, but we do raise a few meat birds, although not the cornish x's. Since we are new we have a mixed laying flock of several breeds and our meat birds are Brahms and Jersey Giants. Both I am told are considered dual purpose breeds.
I am not sure what fermented feed is and would like to know more. Do you make it yourself? I have been able to find organic feeds locally and shipping is way to expensive.
Also what is the apple cider vingar used for?
Thanks for you time. Dana
People put the ACV in water. I think the main purpose of using it is for helping to acidify the digestive tract and the addition of enzymes, etc. The thought is that the acid makes an unfavorable environment for bad bacteria to proliferate. There are probably other reasons that others can share on that too. If you take a look at the articles on the fermented feed you'll see that it has some of the same effects with added vitamins and enzymes as well.
