Feed as a source of grain for poultry. Grain furnishes the energy part of the ration for the flock. Additional protein, vitamins, and minerals must be added to provide a nutritional, healthy diet.
For laying chickens: Mix 1 part scratch and 1 part Hi-Pro 20% Layer Ration.
For young chickens, ducks, turkeys: Mix 1/3 scratch and 2/3 Hi-Pro 20% Layer Ration to provide a 16% crude protein diet. Mix ¼ scratch and ¾ Hi-Pro 20% Layer Ration to provide a 17% crude protein diet.
For laying hens not producing eggs: When hens are not producing eggs, scratch grains or home grown grain can be used in combination with Hi-Pro 15% Layer Ration for maintenance.
Very young poultry should be fed a nutritionally balanced complete feed because scratch grains cannot be utilized efficiently.
Fresh clean water is the most important nutrient. Provide abundant amounts at all times.
