When did Purina take animal protein out of Game Bird feed???

The chickens in FL may need less Carbs but they still need Animal Protein.

More protein in fact...

I know a few breeders in the southern North America, Central America and the Caribbean that raise a number of breed and there protein amount is no higher than mine up here.
Breeds and age play a big role in the protein amount you should feed, A lot of the people I know that raise Oriental Fowl wont feed over a 16% protein to growing birds in fact most feed a 14% protein and a good percent of them live in the Southern U.S. and Central America.

From what I see from this link the further south you go less protein is used. Which makes sense because over feeding protein will also over heat birds.

Really, though, the issue we were discussing wasn't how much protein, but what type of protein.

Correct,
I'm confused on FireTigeris's point.

But we do love our tangents around here!

I have a Flight Conditioner tag from last July & it does list animal protein, so yes a change. I hope you are right on the other two.

You might want to check with the mill you got the feed at and see if they by chance ordered a Vegetarian version.
If Purina did change there mix you could see if they can get either Purina Honor Show Chow Turkey Starter/Grower or a feed that contains Animal Protein in it.

The Honor Show Chow Turkey Starter/Finisher does contain Bacitracin Methyene Disalicylate (BMD) but there is no with draw on it. There Honor Show Turkey Starter contains both Amprolium and BMD.
The Starter/Finisher is 22% protein where there Starter in 30% protein. I also believe that you can get a Non-Medicated version of both.
