➡ POULTRY FEED COMPARISION CHART (Feed brand NAMES needed)

[Kiki]

Sorry. Didn't mean to go on.

It's ok.
No worries.
Do you understand where I am coming from though?

 

[Kiki]

There are so many things I want to know/learn about now.
I'd like to get in touch with feed companies to find out exact amounts of vitamins.
Not very many companies list the amounts on their feed labels and that gets on my nerves.
I want exact amounts.

 

[Kiki]

There is only one place that I have found that lists exact nutritional requirements for their specific hybrid bird.
I'd REALLY like to find more info like this:
Specifically the "Vitamins and trace minerals" section

Why can't all feed labels be this nice?

I hadn't noticed it before you posted about it, but it is really interesting. I wonder if it is because not specifying allows manufacturers to choose the cheapest/most available pre-mix at any given moment?

I did find this short article and wonder if some of the ideas mentioned in it are part of the issue as well:
https://www.wattagnet.com/blogs/13-...niversal-broiler-vitamin-trace-mineral-premix

I doubt that there would be a response but it would be interesting to send an email to the author of the article and ask why poultry feed manufacturers are so cagey on the subject.

Also - I want to join the chorus of people saying thank you for putting this information together.

Excerpt:
"While chicken meat is widely seen as being good for the health, and cannabis is increasingly seen as having medicinal benefits, the latest instances of chicken and cannabis production are not thought to be evidence of a new trend in parallel cropping."

I think I've stumbled upon a realization. I'm feeding my 1.5. week old bantams Purina all flock. Do I need to put chick grit on the side?
