For those who add DE & Flaxseed to there feed...how much do you mix with a 50lb. bag of feed?? I would like to try this but am not sure how much to add to there bag of feed or do you not mix it?? Thanks for any help!
I put a Tablespoon of flax seed into each bucket of feed. 3 1/2 pounds of feed per bucket, 1 Tablespoon of flax. You get to do the math yourself.
I used to add DE to my feed, and the bag said I believe 1 or 2% maximum of the feed. I add flax now- my BYC page has the details if you are interested. Too much flaxseed will make the eggs taste fishy.
just a little piece of advice...if we're trying to have a logical, academic discussion of feed ingredients and their respective inclusion rates, these things are always discussed in terms of weight, not cups and spoons and buckets.
Quote:Sorry if I was unclear as I was only stating the instructions that are on the packaging . I will find out how much 3C of DE weighs
Quote:Sorry if I was unclear as I was only stating the instructions that are on the packaging . I will find out how much 3C of DE weighs 3C of DE per 50 lbs. is only going to work out to about 1.25% and 2C of flax seed is probably around 2%. Both ingredients useless at these rates.
