I would like to see these studies, do you have links to them? Also were they done on chickens and at a lab/ collage?Wow. No, they just explained that the fermented feed is not alcoholic, it's a different kind of fermentation. You really shouldn't call people nuts who are bringing good, PROVEN information to the table. You should look up the studies about what good effects fermented feed actually has. It's pretty amazing!

I ask because I have yet seen one good study pertaining to poultry and feeding fermented feed. I think this is mainly do to poultry already fermenting there food within there digestive track.
I wonder if they soaked the feed over night or did a full fermentation.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19373724/
It's disappointing that it can cause later egg production and makes their feathers not quite as pretty in the study, but I haven't found them to have bad quality colors or feathers at all. My flock is almost to the egg laying age, so I can't attest to it causing late egg production, but I also started them on it younger than the study did with their flock. I have to say all the benefits outweigh the downsides to me. I've found a lot on the internet just googling fermented feed for chickens.

Depends on the feed.Would two cups of feed weigh 1lb? I'm not sure. But yeah, if that math is right, that doesn't seem like enough water. I definitely cover my feed by an inch or two and just keep adding water as it soaks up.
