Shedding intestinal lining

[casportpony]

Ok I set up an appointment to get a decal sample done this Saturday at tsc. If it is worms or cocci, would the meet still be ok to eat?

Yeah, meat is still safe I think. Are you doing the processing, or are you having a butcher do it?

I have a butcher I am going to

If he is an experienced butcher I'm sure he will let you know if know if he finds anything that makes them unsafe to eat.

You mentioned supplemental protein. What should I feed them for that? Thanks for all the great advice!

I don't really have much experience in feeding for weight gain in meat birds, but when I want one of mine that's lost weight due to illness I feed them a 27-30% grower. Someone like @R2elk or @TurkeyTimes might be good people to consult with on fattening up for market..

What percent is the protein in your current feed?


I'd get the poop tested asap too.

Tractor Supply does fecals in your area?
I have never heard this before, this is interesting to me.


Is it a regularly done thing at your TSC or is it something special where a vet is coming in for the day to perform tests?

I had no idea this was a thing.
I am going to share this in my state thread now.
Looks like Houston area stores do this every weekend too!

Thank you.

I think PetSmart and Petco might offer similar programs.
