FAQs

What is the recommended age range for feeding Fancy Feeds Grower Pellets?

These pellets are recommended for growing poultry, goslings, and ducklings from 6 weeks up to 21 weeks of age.

Can this feed be used for laying hens?

No, this feed is specifically formulated for growing birds being reared for meat and is not suitable for laying hens.

What does 'medication-free' mean in relation to this feed?

It means the feed does not contain any added antibiotics or medications. Instead, it uses natural organic acidifiers to help prevent fungal or bacterial infections.

How do the natural prebiotics benefit my birds?

Prebiotics help to promote a healthy population of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which improves digestion and nutrient absorption, contributing to overall health and growth.

What are organic acidifiers?

Organic acidifiers are compounds that can lower the pH of the feed, making it less hospitable for harmful bacteria and fungi, thereby reducing the risk of infection from the feed itself.

How should I store the Fancy Feeds Grower Pellets?

Store the feed in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and pests. Keep the bag tightly sealed when not in use to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.

Can I mix these pellets with other feeds?

It is best to feed Fancy Feeds Grower Pellets exclusively during the recommended age range to ensure birds receive the complete and balanced nutrition required for optimal growth. Mixing with other feeds may unbalance the diet.

Troubleshooting

Birds appear lethargic or have poor appetite.

Ensure feed is fresh and stored correctly. Check for any signs of spoilage. Confirm the feeding window is appropriate for the birds' age.

Feather quality is poor.

While the feed is balanced, ensure adequate access to clean water and consider environmental factors. Protein levels are optimized for growth, so check for other deficiencies if issues persist.

Digestive upset observed (e.g., wet droppings).

While prebiotics are included, ensure birds have access to clean, fresh water at all times. Avoid sudden changes in diet. Observe for any signs of contamination in the feed.
