Folks are saying to avoid feeds with fish meal in them as the protein source..says it stinks so bad that CSI will be knocking on your door to investigate all the dead bodies you are hiding. Just watch your protein percentages in those prebagged feeds...I've been noticing lately that they seem to be selling feeds to folks with 20% and there isn't a layer alive that needs that level of protein to produce an egg. It can only cause problems over time to feed that high of protein, so if that is all you can get, try cutting that protein down with a lower protein whole grain, like barley, oats or corn. Some mix scratch grains in because it's all those types of stores have of whole grains, so that will work as well, but get that protein down a bit.
This fermentation will utilize every bit of that percentage by converting it to a more complete protein, so it's like taking regular food and turning it into super food for the chickens...so if you are already feeding a high pro feed, it will be like putting rocket fuel in a '64 Dodge Dart. Not necessary at all.
That's larger than a glug...a gulp is larger than a sip, whereas a glug is smaller than a glorp. Somewhere in between a gulp and a glug is a splash. I'm going to have to write this stuff down on a chart, aren't I?![]()
