Is this good feed for mixed age flock?

You are... Not in the US. That makes it hard to compare with what else may be available to you.

In terms of numbers, the protein is a little low, but it does include synthetic Met, Lys, and Thre to compensate for likely deficiencies, it additionally uses two animal based protein sources, and concentrated soy. Fat % looks good, fiber is a trifle high, but close to normal ranges (and much less critical than some of the others), calcium is a bit low, but selenium is provided and phosphorus looks good.

No reason not to feed that to everyone - none of the disclosed info looks to be at dangerous levels, but if I had any layers at all, I'd make sure I had a supplimental calcium source available.

My guess would put you somewhere in the EU, where they are at the cutting edge of amino acid supplimentation to address low overal protein levels in animal feed, but the label discloses more info than I typically see on an EU label. and compared to the EU feeds I've seen, yes, that's a good "all flock" feed from a nutritional standpoint.

So, my turn for a question. Where in the world are you??? North Africa? Northern South America?

Thank you Im from Southeast Asia

Asia

Thanks, I'll file that away for next time I see a similar looking label. Wasn't aware there was much cassava grown in Asia, except in Thailand.

@U_Stormcrow is this one better? Since you say its little low on protein and calcium

 

[U_Stormcrow]

Marginally, but yes. That's the one I'd pick. (assuming similar price)
