Is there are good article somewhere that describes that different grains and the feed needs of chickens/remnants?

I'm sure there is...I haven't found a comprehensive article...yet. I have bits and pieces of info. There was discussion on a thread about feed and I was incorrect about scratch, so I've been researching it a bit. We have cattle and sheep.

Do you have a link on this goat toy or can you explain what is involved? Thanks!

Good morning Dax, I believe that is the trampoline conversion that Benny did to the trampoline that his kids(children) didn't use. This was brought up because I mentioned our granddaughter didn't use hers and my friends kids didn't use theirs. They made it into a duck coop as Benny did. I'm sure to inherit a chicken coop I mean a trampoline soon.

See, now that I should have guessed. Obvious. You gotta market your corn somewhere.

That's an exceptional protein level for what I hear most scratch is.

There is likely a widespread rule of thumb they more or less go by...but each company will likely have it's own standard. They get in samples from farmers and such just like the grain companies. I had to chuckle when they had the sample bags of grain lined up on their desk the one time I got starter. I've had excellent scratch and terrible scratch. The company I buy starter from now has terrible scratch. Pigs and chickens are

There is likely a widespread rule of thumb they more or less go by...but each company will likely have it's own standard. Poultry is one of the species to metabolize some mycotoxins well...so affected grain is marketed to such species of livestock that can utilize it as well. Not all grain is suitable for human consumption, or even certain species. Hogs can't handle feed with high DON (fusarium;deoxynivalenol)

See! And you question my logic??? View attachment 1140763
My logic is undeniable. Oh yeahhhhhh!

Seriously though, corn is not surprising as I mentioned above. It's one of your main crops. Milo I had to look up. That's sorghum, we don't grow it here but you guys do...according to the Wik:

"Grain sorghum is the third most important cereal crop grown in the United States and the fifth most important cereal crop grown in the world. In 2010, Nigeria was the world's largest producer of grain sorghum, followed by the United States and India. In developed countries, and increasingly in developing countries such as India, the predominant use of sorghum is as fodder for poultry and cattle.[2][3] Leading exporters in 2010 were the United States, Australia and Argentina; Mexico was the largest importer of sorghum."

First thing that popped up was Nestle Milo. It's one of your huge commodities, Nestle has used that to their advantage to produce and market this drink. It's not by accident.

Millet is a relatively inexpensive grain to buy as feed. It isn't processed that well by the ruminant gut but it is quite lovely for birds. I believe the last millet we sold was $.14/lb. Here one bag of budgie food is about $7/kg. I have to laugh when I see that. That's why I got them to keep 5 feet of millet for me in the 1350 grain bin.
I wasn't born yesterday. We don't grow millet that often for seed...we grow it for fodder and bale it up as green feed. That's what I was raking.

Here wheat is one of our main commodities and it's marketed as such. Wheat is one of the mains in our scratch; in the future I have to remember the differences between the countries. Wheat is less than $5.bushel...a bag of chick starter is approx. $14.69

Our chick starter non medicated is $18

Well I hope you get it sorted out good luck on your project. I am putting an extension on my barn that will be the loafing shed, and then enclosing what was the loafing shed so that I can have a stall for kidding or sick animals. I started this project a year-and-a-half ago and have all the materials. I just have not had the time to get it done, but with as many nannies as I have kidding this year I need it done before winter.

Hate when things on the list become first in the list.
