Poultry Vitamins

[Relleoms]

What is the difference between poultry nutridrench and rooster booster poultry cell? Is one better than the other?

Poultry cell is An essential blood-building supplement with extra iron and amino acids. Poultry Cell enhances and promotes good health. Has tons more vitamins than Nutri.

Nutrí is a nutrient-rich supplement formulated to rapidly deliver energy and basic essential nutrients but higher dose... I believe

Thanks for replying. Do you think it would be safe to say that nutridrench would be good to use as needed for a quick response and poultry cell as more of a regular supplement?

When you feed a fresh (by mill date) balanced ration, extra vitamins aren't needed. Spend on a good quality base diet, and leave out vitamin supplements!

Yeah I echo what Mary said. Neither one should be a regular thing. I see them mostly when chickens are molting, sick, or stressed. That’s when most folks use them.
Just like us vitamins should be received through regular balanced diet. Getting fresh feed is the most important. Mill date should be on the tag. Try and get as earliest as possible cause as it ages nutrients diminish.

I've never had to give vitamins like Poultry Nutri-Drench to a adult chicken, I didn't even give to my first Flock of day old chicks. Lost one of six on day four.
My second and current flock of seven day old chicks, I gave them the recommended dose of Nutri-Drench for 10 days. Lost none. They are now 7 1/2 weeks old.
If you feed them a fresh Fortified feed for Poultry as their main diet with limited scraps and treats, they shouldn't need vitamins.
Even when I had a hen with impacted crop I didn't give her vitamins, I massaged her crop several times a day and gave her very wet mash made with fresh Poultry feed with water available. In 2 1/2 days she was back and full of energy and eager to get back with the flock.
Vitamins do expire. My current bottle of Nutri-Drench expires March 2019, and will be tossed out and replaced, just in case. GC
