Delighted to hear Janice is back; what a relief.
so glad to hear that at least one government has some sense about this!
That's the problem with Kiki's comprehensive list of commercial feeds; it gives only the analytical contents, and not any of the actual ingredients.
on the game bird feed the third item appears to be Broll - is my eyesight failing me? if not, what's broll?
I struggled with bumblefoot on a rooster called Cillin for months.
Not sure what I should write here...Wow your feed contains animal by products! Tallow and cow meal! No mad cow disease in NZ or did your government handle the restrictions differently ?
I can't believe a list of ingredients where the main ingredient is "some kind of grain". This could be anything ! So I guess we have better labels here because it wouldn't be possible.
I definitely believe that balanced doesn't mean good for you, the ingredients matter too. It's the debate we're having for human in France on nutriscore where some highly processed food still get an A. I saw that with my cats also...in some of the feeds perfect balance is achieved through additives and animal products are one of the last ingredient ! I think it matters to know if the first ingredient of the feed is wheat, triticale or corn.
I think I'm hearing my partner talk. Yesterday my neighbor gave us somme pulled pork for us, we don't like this stuff so he gave it to the hens. When I told him it's not balanced and good for their health he said he didn't give a damn because he'd rather make them happy before they died. (They never get that kind of food, I must add, so it was really a special treat).
Broll is listed amongst the ingredients here ~ but not what it actually is.
I'm sure you're right. Thanks again for that link; it is a great article, and I've made loads of notes.
so it's an antipodean oddity? like marsupials?
It would be nice to know, if anyone can share some info on this.
Pleased to read Jancie turned up. I don't like not finding a body should a chicken go missing.Good morning to y’all. From a happy woman! Janice is back!
She was free ranging very close to the coop. Wanted to get in for some commercial feed. My hubby gave some scratch as a reward for surviving.
I hope its safe to let them free range during the morning an early afternoon again. So far we spottet the cat only around 6 pm. And most cats do have a routine if I remember correct. I learned this from an experiment/ BBC documentary.
I suppose this is a joke.
Translate this to humans. Any foodstuffs not provided by Unilever isn’t a balanced feed.
P.s @Ribh What I have learned: a little cracked corn in winter is healthy. So is hemp seed.
