Gamebird Grower Blend Feed Non-GMO

Gamebird Grower Blend Feed Non-GMO

We here at Sugar Feather Farm, have done the hard work and found the BEST fowl feed we can find. As a farm who deals with rare, and unique breeds of fowl who require more nutritional needs than the average fowl. We were noticing that none of the commercial feeds that were available were meeting the needs of the fowl and we were also concerned with additives, preservatives and GMO’s. We decided to go on a mission to find fresh and nutritionally balanced feed for our fowl here on the farm and also wanted to share this great feed with you! This is our Poultry Grower feed. This feed is all inclusive for what your feathered friends will need at this stage.

We get our feed custom milled and designed in PA at a Non-GMO project verified facility.  All of our feeds are formulated by the experienced animal nutritionists at The Fertrell Co. We have a unique vitamin and mineral premix with probiotics and digestive enzymes that is used in our custom feeds. In addition, we have added a product called Prosper EO, which provides essential gut health for developing fowl. Grit is included in the starter feed, but we still highly recommend grit on the side, free choice for the babies.

Features:

No preservatives or antibiotics. Non-GMO. Pre- and pro-biotics. Freshly ground and fortified with extra vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to promote peak breeder performance, including egg quality, hatchability, and plumage condition. Essential oils to help naturally prevent coccidiosis and maintain gut health.

Feeding instructions:

Why do gamebirds need a special feed?

Gamebirds need higher levels of protein and amino acids for early feather and body function development. This is a critical time in development that will predetermine the productivity over its lifetime. Many of the breeds we raise and preserve have weak immune systems and genetically are hard to breed.  We find getting their nutrition at peak performance to work with these specialty breeds helps increase fertility and overall health. They need extra nutrition and minerals and vitamins at their optimum level, many of the feeds already produced are not fresh are lacking in viable nutrients and not enough for their special  needs.

Why do I need to feed a grower feed?

Gamebirds require different levels of protein,  vitamins and minerals at different stages. When they are growing is the most critical time of development.

Fresh Feed is key!

Our feed company does not add any preservatives, it is FRESH. They fresh batch everything to order to ensure you as a customer get the longest shelf life out of the product. The fresher the feed the better. Fertrell Co.(our nutritionists) sees the best results if feed is used within 2 weeks of manufacturing. However, we understand this isn’t always plausible, so try to feed within 30 days of manufacture to ensure feed is fresh and vitamin levels are high. We make sure all our feeds  are in tightly sealed containers to ensure freshness.

The feed is a mix of ground and cracked grains, they are not made into pellets for a reason. Many times there is additives and preservatives to create the pellets. We prefer it as a mix for this reason. We are finding our birds love the feed and are doing very well on it, with some amazing changes like better feather growth, feather coloring, overall larger bird and performance. Any mash left over you can make into a paste or wet for optimum consumption as birds love to pick through their feed of course!

Each of the feeds should have the feeding instructions, age range for birds, and nutritional information printed on the tag. This grower can be used for poultry from 3 weeks till point of lay. After that our Breeder-Layer feed is recommended, some more fragile breeds call for the grower feed to be used longer and this is recommended on the breed page.

Prosper EO – Our Secret Weapon!

Prosper EO is a powerful antioxidant we add to all our Sugar Feather Farm feeds. It is a broad range immunity booster that has prebiotic fibers and blends of microinfused oils that helps support digestive health, overall performance, growth, and development. It boosts the fowl’s immunity so it can fight common diseases, issues, and weather changes. Case studies shows the data and has helped with Salmonella, E-Coli, and Coccidiosis in a safe and natural way. We strongly believe in using Oregano Oil in both feed and in the water for optimum results.

We also recommend using our Oregano Oil in the water as well.
