Ash content in feed

[patti'speeps]

I've got my eye on a feed for my poultry. The only thing i'm not sure about is the fact that it has ash in the ingredient list. I would love some input on the affect this will have on my birds. It's high in protein so I would love to get it and save it for the winter feeding when they need a little higher protein. I have all types of poultry, from Peafowl to Guineas and everything in between, lol. Any advice would be greately appreciated.

I doubt that Ash is listed as an ingredient, rather it is probably listed as a nutrient. In feed analysis the Ash content of the feed is the mineral portion of the feed, basically what is left as 'ash' when a feed is burned.

will the ash content be harmful to my birds since it is a nutrient? Says it has 10% ash.

I says "maximum" right?

I wouldn't worry about it.

Is this feed manufactured by either Lowes or Greensbug Soy?​

It's fine. It's not a singlevnutrient, but rather, as was mentioned, the remnants of the diet that will not combust.
