Product Information

Full details

Copdock Mill Duck & Goose Pellets are designed for adult waterfowl, offering a complete and balanced diet primarily for ground feeding. Its key benefit lies in supporting digestive health through natural oregano oil, while a potential consideration is that the pellets are non-floating, making them unsuitable for water feeding. This feed is formulated to encourage feed intake, promote healthy growth, aid nutrient absorption, and contribute to drier droppings, thereby supporting overall bird health, especially during stressful periods.

FAQs

Is this feed suitable for ducklings or goslings?

No, Copdock Mill Duck & Goose Pellets are formulated for adult waterfowl. Specific starter or grower feeds are recommended for ducklings and goslings.

Can I feed these pellets to chickens?

This feed is specifically designed for ducks and geese. While chickens may eat it, it does not provide a balanced diet for them and could lead to nutritional deficiencies or imbalances. It is best to use feed formulated for chickens.

How much should I feed my waterfowl?

Feeding amounts vary based on the breed, age, size, and activity level of your birds, as well as environmental conditions. As a general guideline, feed adult waterfowl what they can consume within 10-15 minutes, once or twice daily. Always ensure fresh water is available.

What is Orego-Stim?

Orego-Stim is a 100% natural oregano oil extract included in the feed. It is known for its beneficial properties that support digestive health and nutrient absorption in birds.

Why are the pellets non-floating?

The non-floating nature of the pellets is intentional, making them ideal for ground feeding environments. This prevents wastage and ensures the feed is consumed efficiently by the waterfowl.

How should the feed be stored?

Store the feed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and pests. Ensure the original packaging is sealed tightly when not in use to maintain freshness.

What is the shelf life of the pellets?

The shelf life typically depends on storage conditions. Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging for optimal quality. Proper storage in a cool, dry place will help maintain its quality until the expiry date.

Troubleshooting

Waterfowl not eating the pellets

Ensure water is readily available. Gradually introduce the new feed by mixing it with their previous food. Check if the feeding area is clean and undisturbed. Confirm the pellets are suitable for the age and species of your waterfowl.

Digestive upset or loose droppings

While the feed supports drier droppings, sudden changes can cause upset. Ensure a slow transition from old feed. Verify that water availability is adequate. If issues persist, consult a veterinarian.

Feed spoilage

Store feed in a cool, dry place in a sealed container. Avoid damp environments and direct sunlight. Ensure feeders are cleaned regularly and not overfilled, which can lead to spoilage.
