Here is the real science, from a real scientist, who is involved in doing real science. Please post real science from a real a scientist supporting your stated position. As per this real scientist at Ohio State U the portion of a chickens' gut that is responsible for the digestion of fiber is...

Quote: All protein values in the above list are per weight. For instance dried fish flaks are valued @ 76% protein while fresh fish (water included) is valued at only 28% That is almost a 300% difference. The average human body is 65% water, the same as fresh fish or liver. After all the...

You are correct.

What we are forgetting is that when we sprout or ferment small grains we are processing the food stuff just as sure as General Mills makes little green apples. Most of the raw protein in the grain is converted to a form of protein called digestible cellulose. Cellulose is a food that termites...

I assume you are speaking about dry weight before the fodder was sprouted. Since a pint's a pound the world around, one gallon of dry grain is equal to 8 pounds so 14 pounds of dry fodder grains equals 1 & 3/4 gallons or about the same amount of pellets you fed in addition to the 14# of dry...

Exactly!

They may not be as crazy as you assume. While green sprouted food has some vitamins, and most chickens relish it, usually most of the food energy has been either washed out or consumed by the growing seeds. Most of the food energy remaining has been converted by the sprouted seeds to fiber or...

In a previous post I mentioned how all of us are bean counters and that we all act exactly like the large commercial poultry giants, Tyson or Perdue does. I rest my case. In an effort to help you with your difficulty in raising meal worms, I am including this information. Meal worms, aka...

No offence taken! The reality of the situation is that to lay eggs a hen has to be well nourished. Every egg (at least to the hen) is a brand new baby chicken child, and each egg must be well supplied not only with calories but also with minerals and vitamins all intended to nourish a growing...

What I want to know is which white lab coated scientist fumbling with test tubes claimed that water is bad for chickens? The fiber thing is a biggie because sprouting any grain creates fiber in the form of little roots, stalks, and leaves. Fiber has already been pointed out as a substance...

Don't waste your time looking for local barley in Georgia. Your local environment and climate is hostile to the cultivation of barley. Any "local" barley you find for sale will almost always be a rip off bait and switch barley grown in Atlanta, Montana taking the place of local Georgia grown...
