Do large poultry farmers feed Purina Layena?

Last time I looked at my TSC only the 24% Dumor had animal protein in it, the 20% grower & the 16% layer did not.

Agree. Don't think you'll find any animal protein in the normal DuMor products. Since Purina tends to be vegetarian, contrary to what a chicken normally eats, it stands to reason. DuMor is packed at Purina plant. I've never quite understood the whole Purina vs DuMor issue. There's isn't any substantive difference in the two, not that one would expect any.

They've both both become too expensive, imho. Local feed mill produces a ground feed that the hens like better and costs much less. Production remains fine.

Does Purina contain Yucca?
Yucca is used in some feeds for "odor control" and is used to mask the smell of the manure.
