Purina Layena sucks

[centrarchid]

Omega-3 and carotenoid need to be distinguished.

I was going to start a new thread... but in your opinion which is better? Purina Layena or Nutrena country feeds layer pellets? I feed Nutrena and my girls are healthy but how would you know unless you try another food choice for a while?

Purina:

Vs. Nurena CF

Very similar. Of these two I would choose Purina.

I'd pick the one that's fresh at your feed store, and hopefully has the higher protein and fat %. Always check those mill dates!
I prefer an all-flock feed like Flock Raiser instead.
Have oyster shell out there in a separated dish too.

Isn't Purina known for low quality when it comes to dog food though?

Purina pet foods are not to be confused with their livestock feeds; different branches entirely. The poultry and horse feeds are good; that's what I'm most familiar with.

You also have to analyze the ingredients as well as the nutrient numbers. Some manufacturers use better quaily grains, some use probiotics and other natural products, some manufacturers use tailings, hulls, what ever else they can find just to add bulk.
