TopFeeds Starter Feed (Broilers Mash | Crumbles) ? 25kg Bag

TopFeeds Starter Feed The Topfeeds starter feed is highly balanced in nutrition and normally given to starters from day-old till week 2. Birds should be fed nutritionally balanced diets for healthy growth and development and to ensure that there is enough protein, calories, minerals, and fat to meet the turkey?s nutritional requirements. Feeds are often adjusted to match the growth stages of the birds. Young chicks are fed a ?starter? mixture. As they grow, the feed is changed to meet nutritional requirements. Specific feeds are therefore available when your young poults become growers and finishers. Each type of feed includes the proper balance of protein, energy, fiber, fat, and other elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamins. Poultry feed (TopFeeds Starter Feed) Unlike feeds for ruminants, poultry diets are usually complete feeds and supply the total daily requirements apart from water. These feed help to maximize production whether it be for eggs, meat, or rearing replacements. Essentially, broiler varieties of chicken feed are denser in protein, which encourages the flock to grow bigger, faster. Mash This is a loose and unprocessed version of chicken feed. Similar to the texture of potting soil, the mash is the finest variety of chicken feed commonly available. Mash is normally used for chicks, as it is easy to digest, however it is not uncommon for fully mature birds to be fed mash. The main issue with mash varieties of chicken feed is that its texture often results in an increase in incidental waste. Crumbled Feed In simple terms crumble is a coarse variety of mash but not as compact as pellets. Reminiscent of the texture of oatmeal, crumble is a semi-loose variety of chicken feed that is slightly easier to manage than mash. This feed acts as a gap between mash and pellets as most birds prefer the crumbly texture.
