Hello everyone
what are your views on raising meat birds on maggots and duckweed.
this is what i can find on the composition of maggots
Dry Matter 24,7%
Crude protein 47,5-50,1%
Lipid 19,3%
Cellulose 23,2%
Minerals 9,1%
Ca 1,5%
P 1,2%
Mg 0,3%
K 1,3%
Na 4528 ppm
Mn 196,5 ppm
Fe 425,7 ppm
Cu 19,7 ppm
Zn 235,8 ppm
I also read that duckweed could contain up to 40% protein ( not sure of carb. content or if digestible )
Any suggestions on ratios of duckweed to maggots and how to supplement for extra minerals/vitamins, also if grains are needed for added carbohydrates?
