Bought 3 bags of Purina Meatbuilder yesterday to feed to our 7 layers and 2 roos in the winter.
The reasons not buying layer feed:
1) did not want to feed excess calcium to roosters
2) we liberally use treats (grains,fruits,veggies) so I figured extra protein would be a plus to offset the dilution
3) it is not more expensive where I am, actually few cents cheaper and our calcium is free in a form of free choice egg and seafood shells
Meatbuilder:
Protein: 18 % Fat: 3.0 % Fiber: 5.0 % Na: 0.16 % Ca: 0.90 % P: 0.70 %
Layena:
Protein: 17 % Fat: 1.5 % Fiber: 4.5 % Na: 0.16 % Ca: 3.80 % P: 0.60 %
It also say "this feed contains added selenium at 0.30mg/kg" on the label.
Could someone confirm that (Meatbuilder) is not an inferior feed and is safe to feed to layers as well as consume eggs from them being fed that feed?
