orgainic feed

[Wifezilla]

To The Best Of My Knowledge Unless Its Medicated All Feed Is Pretty Much Organic In The Gamebird Lines

If they contain soy and corn, you are most likely looking at NON-ORGANIC genetically modified ingredients.


That being said, this is what I give my birds (starter formula)...

...though I wish I could find a certified organic feed with a high enough protein percentage. Until I can this will have to do.​

Medicated feed is a big no no for gamebirds

ITS ABOUT 3 DOLLARS A BAG CHEAPER IN MOST PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

PERSONALLY I TRIED IT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND FOUND IT VERY INCONSISTANT. IT WAS MORE PULVERIZED THAN CRUMBLE AND IF YOU WENT AND BOUGHT SEVERAL BAGS AT ONCE, BROUGHT THEM HOME AND OPENED THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME EVERY SINGLE BAG HAD DIFFERENT COLOR TO THE FEED--- VARYING SHADES OF COLOR AND SOME EVEN HAD DIFFERENT SMELL. MY COTURNIX DIDNT LAY AS WELL ON IT EITHER, BUT WHAT WORKS FOR 1 PERSON MAY BE WAY OFF FOR ANOTHER...

YOU REALLY THINK THEY SELL THAT HIGH PRICED GRAIN TO FEED COMPANIES FOR ANIMAL FEED? UM, NO. FEED COMPANIES BUY THE LESSER GRADE STUFF FOR THE CHEAPEST PRICE.

At TSC Mana pro, Dumor, and Purina are all next to each other but I went with the Purina cause it was recommended. I wondered what the difference in quality was.

In most livestock circles, Purina is accepted as the highest quality, or one of the highest. You never consider feeding expensive show rabbits anything other, or at least I don't, so that is what I stick to for all.

WELL NOW THAT DEPENDS....

YOU SEE FEED IS A VERY REGIONAL THING. DEPENDING ON WHAT'S PREVALENT IN YOUR GEOFRAPHICAL AREA YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND 1 TYPE VS THE OTHER. MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY CAN ONLY GET MEDICATED STARTER WHERE AS OTHERS CANNOT GET IT- SO THIS IS A BIT OF PUZZLE AND THE ANSWER ONLY LIES WITH YOUR FEED STORE MANAGER. THEY MAY ONLY CARRY 1 TYPE, BUT CAN ORDER THE OTHER IF YOU WISH, WHILE SOME AREAS THEY CANT EVEN ORDER IT. AROUND HERE YOU CAN'T GET MEDICATED FEED, UP NORTH MANY CANNOT GET UNMEDICATED FEED


THEN THERE'S THE WHOLE QUANDRY ABOUT THE MEDICATION ITSELF- YOU SEE GB FEED IS MEDICATED IN 1 OF 2 WAYS--- BROADSPECTRUM ANTIBIOTICS, OR COCCISTAT DRUGS. BASICALLY BACITRACIN OR ERYTHROMYCIN VS AMPILLORUM. AMPILLORUM IS NOT APPROVED FOR USE IN QUAIL BY THE USDA OR FDA, BUT MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT ONLY CARRY MEDICATED FEED--- THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY CARRY. IT USUALLY SAYS IN SMALL PRINT ON THE BAG TAGS "FOR USE IN PHEASANTS ONLY"--- THIS AREA TENDS TO BE THE MIDWEST AND PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YORK FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED. THOSE AREAS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE "THE PHEASANT BELT" OR AREAS OF HIGHEST CONCENTRATIONS OF PHEASANT FARMS
