Mealworms are a highly nutritious and well accepted addition in chicken diets. Rich in protein, mealworms assist in growth and development, feather growth and repair, and enhancing egg quality. They are a fantastic source of amino acids necessary for chicken health. The nutrients in mealworms can help strengthen the immune system of chickens, making them more resistant to diseases and infections.
Sunflower seeds provide healthy fats and antioxidants, whilst improving the quality of hens eggs and boosting their immunity. Rich in vitamin E, sunflower seeds provide energy and can aid in the moulting process and periods of stress. The high linoleic acid content is essential for keeping poultry at a healthy weight, particularly throughout winter, where plumper chickens will handle the cold better.
Wheat is a rich source of carbohydrates, providing the energy chickens need for daily activities, growth, and egg production. Its high energy content helps maintain the bird's metabolism and overall health. Chickens generally find wheat quite palatable, which can ensure consistent feed intake.
A balanced vitamin and mineral formulation is included to assist in normal body functions, growth and reproduction. Specifically designed to meet the needs of laying, breeding and show poultry.
High in carbohydrates and low in fibre, maize (corn) is easy to digest and a valuable source of energy. Maize can increase chickens weight and contains less sugar than sweet corn. Cryptoxanthin is a colour pigment present in corn that may help give egg yolks a brighter yellow colour too. The high calorie, low protein content makes maize an essential and widely used cereal as part of the balanced diet.
Lupins can be a valuable energy and protein source for several classes of poultry. They are low in fat and high in starch. These legumes are high in lysine, one of the most vital amino acids required in poultry diets and their high protein content complements many cereal based diets.
Includes natural thickeners and food grade binders to glue the block together without compromising the quality and palatability of the block.
Fibre rich and highly palatable, lucerne is an enriching option that stimulates positive behaviours in poultry. Lucerne also helps to optimise chickens intestinal flora, particularly when phasing in new feeds. It supports the yellow colouring of the yolk and assists with birds to be healthier, stronger and fuller in feather.
Peas can be a valuable energy and protein source for several classes of poultry. They are low in fat and high in starch. This legume is high in lysine, one of the most vital amino acids required in poultry diets and it’s high protein content complements many cereal based diets.
Turmeric, known for its active compound curcumin, has been identified as a beneficial supplement in the diets of chickens, offering a range of health and productivity benefits due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
An excellent source of essential fatty acids and energy. Oil is rich in a variety of unsaturated fatty acids which are important for the growth and development of laying hens, particularly linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is deposited directly into the egg yolk which thereby increases the weight of the egg. Oil also improves the overall palatability of the feed, animal immunity and feed intake.
Includes Shell grit and Calciprill to assist in calcium requirements. The Shellgrit helps grind down the food in the gizzard, aid in egg shell strength and bone development. The Calciprill is a highly soluble and bioavailable source of calcium to allow for easy absorption and utilisation of calcium fed in your fowls diet.
Mealworms are a highly nutritious and well accepted addition in chicken diets. Rich in protein, mealworms assist in growth and development, feather growth and repair, and enhancing egg quality. They are a fantastic source of amino acids necessary for chicken health. The nutrients in mealworms can help strengthen the immune system of chickens, making them more resistant to diseases and infections.
