Provit

[Silverdale Lofts]

A friend called today and gave me a bag of Provit anyone on the forum used this product and how do you make it stick onto the corn. Also how much do you put on the corn. Did you find it makes a difference to the birds

its very dusty stuff that, what we do is mix our own grit up and thats 1 of the ingrediants that goes in.

Hi Silverdale

Table spoon per nest   The bread I tear apart and put in blender

this is the first year ime trying it out,didnt really find the bird like it so i put it on the corn with a little oil,then i did see a little more vitality in the older birds,acting like widow cocks,so thats what i do now 3 times a week.

Hi Tommy,

 

Ive used it before and its good gear though I never measured what I put on the corn.I only stopped using it because theres only so much you can put on the corn lol

 

My mate Derek uses it and rears a good young un on it.

Lol  :B

 

Forgot to tell you how to put it on the corn ...get a bowl and put some gemthepax in it (I also put Adherb,cod liver oil and a liquid amino acid) add the provit  and mix it into a loose paste ,then add  to the corn and mix well and leave to dry out overnight.The corn absorbs it all .

 

I also add a bit of strike ,garlic powder ,spirulina and anything else I think will do them good lol
