A flexible, highly nutritious and palatable starter diet, designed to be fed to either laying hen replacements or meat birds calling for a slower steady start.
For laying hen replacements feed from day old up to 6 weeks of age. For meat type chicken feed for the first 4 weeks. Follow on rearing feed: Following Farmgate Chick Crumbs ACS in the recommended feeding programme is Farmgate Rearer ACS, fed from 7 weeks of age through to point of lay. For meat type birds grown on for seasonal markets, Farmgate Chicken Finisher ACS can be fed from 5 weeks of age to 7 days prior to marketing. For the last 7 days use BOCM PAULS Poultry Finisher Plain Pellets.
Store Farmgate feed in a cool dry place. Fresh, clean water should be available to the birds at all times.
I would like to know what the date on the bag stands for. Methods of writing dates vary from country to country. On my bag it said 03-07-11. If this means March 7, 2011 it could be the manufacturing date. If it means July 3, 2011 it could be the Best-before date.
WildBirdDirect Says:
That date format would be the best before date so that will be 3rd July 2011. Best before is only a guide it does not mean "use by" , the dating of product varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Poultry feeds only carry a 3 month date as a maximum so we have to really careful to ensure that we buy small and often to maintain the longest date possible.
I hope this answers your query.
