➡ POULTRY FEED COMPARISION CHART (Feed brand NAMES needed)

[lcwmt]

What works I do not go that far it is like 65 miles round trip for us
but we live out in the sticks on purpose

We love where we live as well. It is an Ag area but the in-town feed mill sells by the ton <G>. That does not work for a small, non commercial, flock so I've never inquired about what they sell for poultry.

The closest feed store for me is 45 miles one way. The "boutique" store is 75miles in the opposite direction and part of an extended population area I do not care for. We choose to live here, the driving is a trade off.

To throw a wrench (maybe) into your Nutrena stats, at least for their Gamebird feed there are multiple protein options. They only list one on their website but it seems differing levels can be ordered from their distributors. I know this because I had some major confusion between my bags saying 28% while their website says 22%, which suspiciously is the same protein as their meat-bird feed. I had to call around to figure it out.

So it is not that their website is "wrong", but simply that they seem to actually produce and sell more than what they list on their website. Same exact branding, color scheme, graphics, name, etc....

Like I mentioned earlier I really would like all of my stats to come directly from the specific brand's website but I will "accept" pictures from current bags people have on hand.
So if the companies do not have certain "versions" on their site I'm not adding it to my data sheet unless I get pictures.

I will shoot you a photo tonight. Can't find the one I had on my phone. But just to show I am not crazy, here are two links to sellers of the 28% version. They don't link to a guaranteed analysis, but I can take a photo when I get home.

https://www.countrymax.com/nutrena-country-feeds-gamebird-turkey-starter-crumble-50-pounds/

https://agwayowegoendicott.com/cata...rena-country-feeds-gamebird-turkey-starter-28


This third link lists 21% and 28%, and even claims the 28% is medicated....which I have never heard of or seen (medicated that is).

Anyway, will post a photo of the guaranteed analysis tonight.

Thanks.
I actually didn't look on Nutrena's site for anything "turkey" related.
I am going to dig there a little more. ( I need to see for myself )

ETA. I checks.
No sign of 28% on the main site.

Why don't these companies put ALL of their feeds on their own site?

From my calling around when I was confused a while back, you might not get very far looking at their official site. They seem to play it fast and loose with what they have called things over the years and so many distributors and feed stores use different names for the same product. Their official name on their website for it is "Country Feeds Gamebird". But as you saw in those links, a lot of places use the name "turkey starter" or some other version of "turkey". There is a turkey on the bag! But there is also a chukar, a quail, and a pheasant on the bag as well. Haha.
