Then do you use part or all of the liquid to start your next batch of ferment?I just pour it through a stainless steel seive and drain the liquid off, I dont rinse it.

Any problems with flies? I would think they would want in on this fermented feed also.
Help me understand the draining part, won’t that wash away nutrition?
I will most pictures of my feed tomorrow.
Looking forward to your pics !I will most pictures of my feed tomorrow.
Anyone trying this who isn’t using a crumble or pellitized feed should be Milling their grains. I don’t use pre mixed feed, because it creates a messy paste that’s not easy to feed and makes a huge mess.
back to the point here tho....
IF fermenting longer than 24 hours you are actually feeding your feed to yeast an other voracious micros.
if your goal is to create a more nutritious feed, then there is cooking involved. After cooking, I wouldn’t ferment. After fermenting 4-7 days you are essentially feeding a fibery mush. I guess also pickling you’re chickens.... who doesn’t love a drunk chicken.
Welcome to the club ! I used to do it for my hogs years ago, but never new it was ok for ducks and chickens also?I'm just curious, why do people ferment feed? I have never heard of doing that before now.
