Fodder Seed Nutrional Values

[duskins]

Does anyone have the nutrition of Fodder Mats at around 8days? I am planning on using Wheat as Barely? I am looking to see if it will be close to 17% Protein for laying hens are will I need to add additional protein supplements? I will add oyster shell and grit, but wondering of the other values

 

[duskins]

Looks like I might have found my answer! So this is for Wheat at 1cup of sprouts

Good to know. I have wheat growing now. Thanks

I hope all goes well! Let me know how it works as I am thinking of doing a mix of barely and wheat. Some system state you can get 30% or so of protein, but they add nutrients and chemicals to the "flood and drain water" I am opposed to added chemicals other than from chick starter!

I am thinking of adding B vitamins dissolved if I can get all natural for my flock. But I am waiting on information from my Vet to see what he thinks

 

[JanetS]

The wheat had been growing great until yesterday. I notice it had mold growing in it. I'm not going to feed it to the chickens. Next time I'm going to be careful about how much I water it.

 

[duskins]

JanetS did you wash the seeds w/ a bleach reduction first? I have heard this works to reduce mold transfer from mill to bin when your areas prone to higher humidity.

I am going to start after I plant my 1 acre summer garden so my racks are available

 

[JanetS]

No I didn't. I've not heard of this. How much bleach and is it ok to feed to chickens after using it?

 

[duskins]

The bleach water is used to wash the seeds just as you would wash each tray after use to ensure there is no cross contamination. I use a 1:10 ratio. I flood the tray, drain the tray, the rinse 3 times.

 

[JanetS]

Ok. Thanks. I'll try that. I've only had problems with the wheat. The BOSS and rye grass did great.
