That may be because reducing nutrition can be used to 'force' a molt.
I used plenty of the Poulin Quik Grow Broiler feed this summer about 550lbs worth for the meat birds I did. As far as crumbles go I would say they are on the small side. The Poulin Grower/Finisher Crumble is much larger in size. When I opened it it looked like a pellet to me. You could also do a 50/50 mix of Grower/finisher(15%protien) and Turkey/ Gamebird Finisher (20%protien) to get you to a 17.5%average protien level and still be using "pellets"
Nice to have this explained....it's what I imagined, would love to see it firsthand, being and old process equipment designer. Get some funky crumble once in awhile and try to think 'hmmm....what happened on the line that day?'
Slightly different product than the crumblet, but same idea.
Poulin’s process for the crumblet is- product is first pelleted and cooled. Then it is run through a speed offset roller assembly (Very similar process to a typical roller mill) that breaks it down to small pieces. Then it goes through a finish grading/screening process to remove fines, and screen out oversize product as well.
Our process for crumbles- product is pelleted, and cut to very short lengths with knives right in the pellet mill. Then they are cooled, before getting screened/graded.
Our product tends to be larger than a Poulin crumblet, and is more of a short pellet than a crumb. Just picture one of our pellets chopped down into 3-4 pieces
You’d be better off with the poultry grower, or broiler grower. The turkey feeds would probably work fine, but they are, in fact, formulated to a much different spec. Base ingredients are similar, but the vitamin/mineral/probiotic portion of the formulation is very different.
Great having your knowledgeable input. This just gave me the answers I was looking for.

Right!
