Protein / Layers Pellets

[Guest ljb107]

I mix some of my chicken pellets with the pigeons food. The chicks grow twice as fast on it.

I don't think any poultry pellets contain antibiotics any more!

They used to but I think you will find that putting antibiotics in them was outlawed, check the ingredients on the bag and that will tell you.

I tried G10 last year but wouldn't bother again.

Think you'll find that there are certain antibiotics still approved as additives to poultry feed: like the agents that promotes all the growth and the anticoccistat.

 

Like yourself tried G10s (for a year) as an additive. Think it just creates a weight problem for my pigeons so my trial ended February, and won't be feeding them or any other pellet again.

If you use turkey finisher pellets they are antibiotic free as these are fed to the turkeys for a couple of weeks before slaughter

We add Turkey layers pellets to all our mixes.The ones we use contain no antibiotic.We normally add 5-10% depending on which mix.We have had no adverse affects using the pellets and our birds thrive,both breeding and racing on them.

whats the difference between growers and layers pelletts

[Guest ljb107]

growers have high protien and things for the immune system for chicks and layers are to encouage egg production in hens

[white logan]

turkey pellets have steroids and antibiotics in them so it should help with the growth of the young

[Guest ljb107]

turkey pellets have antibiotics for black head in them - use growers pellets

[tskyes]

I USED LAYERS PELLETS 4 A COUPLE OF SEASONS BUT I NOW FEED BEST ALL ROUNDER (3 SCOOPS) WITH GROATS (1 SCOOP) AND IN MY OPINION IS AN EXCELLENT BREEDING MIX.

[mac1]

you get two different kind of turkey pellets

[Guest ljb107]

if i had turkeys i would get the pellets with the blackhead stuff in - you would be stupid not to.

[Guest kev d]

made for pigeons can you feed to much of them what is the recomended amount

[mackems]

i use 10% layers pellets 20% g10,s the rest good breeding mix dont use pellets during racing  8) 8)

[Guest ljb107]

there isn't i don't think

I have been using layers pellets for about six years,on its own you might find the droppings is a bit loose,i mix mine with barley for the hens and peas for young birds.You will find that because the pellets contain so much vitamins and minerals the birds will have less minerals and more grit.The other thing is ,the pellets contain a certain % of moisture so i does pass Through the bird quicker and weightwise you might end up feeding a bit more.In my area its about £6.25 per 20kgs.I might chance to growers pellets or turkey pellets this year.Hope this helps......
