    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    You can ferment almost anything. Whether or not it benefits from fermentation is a complex and nuanced answer. The common coccidiostat used in US medicated feed (Amprolium) isn't anticipated to be affected by fermentation. Note, however, that if what you are fermenting, and how you are...

    Turning Trash Hauls Into Feed

    Mine is going to look a bit more like this in concept: Only my main tanks are outside my greenhouse (which measures roughly 16' x 24', so a little bigger than the typical).

    You are doing a single tank chop & flip, right?

    Turning Trash Hauls Into Feed

    That's not enough length for sufficient heat transfer. You will have very little geothermal effect there. Ground loops are often HUNDREDS of feet. The math is complicated. Very complicated actually - more complicated than when i did rocket science. The slower your water moves, and the...

    Turning Trash Hauls Into Feed

    There's a commercial garbage operation that composts the piles and lets chickens free range it. I'll find the links. It involves a LOT of assumptions, and you have to accept that your birds will be less productive than they potentially could be. Will benefit from choosing less "purpose built"...

    Turning Trash Hauls Into Feed

    I'm looking into aquaponics. Its neither cheap nor easy. I'll be doing it - already have the totes (2) and have laid out the plumbing. Getting the water temps and pH into an acceptable range can be challenging, same with the nitrogen cycle. Local laws may impact which fish you can use as...

    4'. The goats could jump it if they were sufficiently motivated. I have a fence stretching jig, plus the tractor. 25hp is plenty, once it's maneuvered into place.

    Started putting up woven wire fencing around the pasture. About a $2k investment, but the goats kept breaking the electric. Had to be done. About 250' complete, About 1000' to go.

    I feared that would be the case.

    Your local AG extension is probably a good place to get your water tested couple of basic additional tests Beyond pH and more importantly they can tell you what's likely to be a problem in your area, don't want to find out that your new acres are on an area that is just flooded with the...

    Cheap and easy to get the pH of your water if you're going to do the science may as well do it right

    Soaking helps with the tannins but you really need some heat process to deal with the lectins

    Corn, Wheat/Gluten Free DIY feed

    A.) Same issue here, and I'm a lot closer to "chicken county", I expected that to be the case. B.) Agree, it is available to you. Worse comes to worse, if its available enough and cheap enough, use it in the coop w/ a deep bedding/deep litter system.

    Corn, Wheat/Gluten Free DIY feed

    Somebody just hand it off bar and stuck it out if it's not inconvenient to you yes please do and if it's easier to just snap a couple of photos with your cell phone that's fine too I honestly don't expect that they'll have Nutri balancer but if they do that would be great

    Corn, Wheat/Gluten Free DIY feed

    @aseatmon have you looked around to see what ingredients you can get at the local farm stores? sorghum, oats (rolled or whole?), and kind of field peas, seeds, nutribalancer, etc? also, any agriculture "products" like soy, peanut, or safflower meals?

    Yes, that's the Seminole Milk Pellets I linked above. Wish it disclosed the Met content. But being soy / whey based, it should be better than most other plant sources. Lys is extremely good as well, though not really needed in these numbers for OP's purposes.

    No, I am not currently under this line of storms. Yes, I think it fair to say that the FL Panhandle/Wiregrass area is getting "damp". Not showing on current radar, it was mist to light rain beginning about 3am, and hasn't stopped. Doubt I will need to water the gardens this week. ;)

    Corn, Wheat/Gluten Free DIY feed

    I don't see pricing, but Seminole feeds says they have THIS. I can probably build a feed around it. DO you have a local dealer that you've seen carrying this, and how much was it priced at??? I don't want to provide a formulation that outrageously expensive for you, if it can be avoided.
