So I work on Saturdays in a feed store that produces their own special formula of feed for horses and chickens. Because they have a special formula they are also eager to keep up with the feed market, or should I say the animal feed market. So today I’m working, and I noticed in the latest issue of Feed Strategy, there is a poultry feed and nutrition survey for 2021.
This is obviously for commercial poultry growers. But I was very interested to read an article that begins on page 30 about fermented feed! The complete title of the article is fermented feed: improve animal performance, ingredients.
Plus, and I quote, “Backyard poultry producers have advocated fermenting feed.”
They (the article) also advocate using fermented feed for pigs.
“There have been many studies feeding fermented feed to laying hens. Results include increases in egg weight and eggshell thickness, as well as improved disease resistance. “
Looks like I’m going to try again.
