WELL FIRST AND FORMOST
one has to know how to figure the protein level of grains
go to ;ionsgrip for the informaion on what to put in the mix and what amts of proteins in the grains
You would use a weighing measure such as
1 qt of
corn, oats, wheat and milo if using that, also the crumbles or pellets can be used in the mix

Example:
Say you make a mix that is three parts wheat,
one part corn and one part oats. You want to
know how much protein is in the mix.
GRAIN PARTS PROTEIN % (see list below)
Wheat 3 X 12.5 = 37.5
Corn 1 X 9 = 9
Oats 1 X 12 = 12
TOTALS 5 58.5
58.5 divided by 5 = 11.7% Protein
in mix
notice here they used more wheat as the most ingriedient
meaning it is higher in protein value than corn or oats
Might I suggest that not using Milo as it depletes the chickens body of Vit A and is not as good for chickens as the other grains
you can study these informative bits of feed information on the lionsgrip site
Introduction to Protein.
Protein is like "building blocks" for making animal and plant tissue. Animals' bodies are very largely composed of protein. Whenever birds are growing, or producing eggs, or sperm as in the roosters' case, they use up a LOT of protein. This protein must be gotten in the diet. Since living organisms are extremely complex, there are literally billions of different types of protein molecules.
Protein molecules are composed of smaller molecules called amino acids. There are only 22 known kinds of amino acids. Just as the 26 letters of the alphabet can make billions of words, so the 22 amino acids can make billions of kinds of proteins.
Most of the 22 amino acids can by synthesized in animals' bodies out of other foods they eat. But eight of the amino acids cannot be synthesized by animals, only by plants. These are famously known as the "Eight Essential Amino Acids." Animals must get these by eating other animal tissue, or by eating plants.

Yup I have had several Mt. Dews already and am on a streak...hey at least I ain't streaking!
