What is this Probiotic Wet Mash I keep reading about?

[chickenkarma]

I would love to get it for my chickens... but I can't find it at my feed store (they haven't heard of it), and when I google it, there are no links to a product that I can order. I live in San Diego, California... so maybe this is something that forum users from other countries have posted about? I don't know, but it seems like I'd be able to get something like that here!

I would like to know, where do I get Probiotic Wet Mash from? What brand name can I look up on the internet? What do people use this for (general feeding, or specific treatment feeding)?

Thanks!

I believe you are talking about fermented feeds. These are made not bought. There is a looooooooooooooooooooooong posting in meat birds. Get a cup of coffee.

"Probiotic" has become a sales gimmick.

There's probably nothing in it that they don't already get naturally
If your birds are healthy now, it won't really benefit them

Here's a very well written article by Tikki Jane. She explains all you need to know about the how and why of fermented feed. I've been using it for years, and the results with my flock are awesome. My egg customers notice the superior flavor of my chicken eggs compared to the eggs from local farm stands.
