Mandelyn's Feed Trial-Part 2
In this podcast episode, we conclude our discussion with Jeff Mattocks about the feed trial Mandelyn Royal is conducting. This trial uses a custom, breed-specific feed, designed by Jeff, for Mandelyn’s Breese. We cover the importance of grit, what healthy gizzards should look like, and why corn and soy-free diets are so hard to formulate. We'll also talk about plants for future studies that Mandelyn would like to do to keep improving her flock.

00:00:00.119 --> 00:00:04.879
Hi, I'm John Gunterman, and I want to welcome you to another episode of the Poultry Keepers podcast.
00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:15.470
Joining me in the studio are Mandelyn Royal and Rip Stalvey, the rest of our podcast team, and we're looking forward to visiting with you and talking poultry from feathers to function.
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:40.500
It's a mash and I was not anticipating the learning curve on feeder design and I saw that like we're very limited in what's locally available and now I'm looking at well what do I need to build because I can't just go up the road and buy it.
00:00:40.994 --> 00:00:49.744
Or what do I have to order online and have shipped in because the little typical one pound gravity chick starter they're like a round feeder.
00:00:49.895 --> 00:00:51.965
It didn't let the milled starter through.
00:00:52.765 --> 00:00:53.844
It just hung there.
00:00:53.865 --> 00:00:57.615
So they would empty out the bottom of the tray and no new feed would fall down.
00:00:58.414 --> 00:01:00.695
And I figured that out within a couple of days.
00:01:00.695 --> 00:01:08.004
And I noticed that just that first couple of days with that feeder malfunction, I They didn't eat as much as they would have.
00:01:08.805 --> 00:01:10.334
So I was pretty annoyed about that.
00:01:11.135 --> 00:01:12.375
And then Jeff was annoyed too.
00:01:12.385 --> 00:01:12.635
And he's
00:01:12.635 --> 00:01:31.245
yeah, unfortunately all the feeders that you can buy at tractor supply, Royal King, all those, feed type, farm stores because the commercial industry has gone to pellets and crumbles, the feeders design has also gone to being efficient only with pellets.
00:01:31.245 --> 00:01:33.224
pellets and crumbles, right?
00:01:33.424 --> 00:01:40.125
So there's not a lot of good feeders out there for a milled, mash type feed.
00:01:40.784 --> 00:01:46.355
So we, we have to go to a different route and I've always been a fan more.
00:01:46.415 --> 00:01:49.204
I don't, I really don't like gravity feeders.
00:01:49.534 --> 00:01:58.864
And I've always been a fan of a trough feeder, a large trough feeder giving more access and more space for the bird to be able to eat.
00:01:59.515 --> 00:02:12.264
Especially if you're limiting the amount of feed like in a layer operation where you only want to give four ounces a day, I definitely want access for all the birds to eat at the same time when the new feed is brought out.
00:02:13.064 --> 00:02:16.610
Commercial feeders are not going to provide that opportunity for you.
00:02:17.189 --> 00:02:21.689
I immediately switched over to the long chick trough with the little holes in it.
00:02:21.729 --> 00:02:26.300
And my birds, the heads are too big for them to use it past five weeks,
00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:30.680
but it'll keep them from billing out and sorting, which is nice.
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.843
I've noticed field feed, especially, or my new formulas, very
00:02:34.843 --> 00:02:36.710
limited waste.
00:02:36.789 --> 00:02:37.110
Yeah.
00:02:37.189 --> 00:02:38.009
They were not wasting
00:02:38.009 --> 00:02:38.460
this fee.
00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:40.530
They were eating it down to the dust on the bottom.
00:02:41.330 --> 00:02:41.680
That's good.
00:02:41.699 --> 00:02:42.939
You've got them trained well, then.
00:02:43.289 --> 00:02:48.689
If you get them habituated to eat their dust, then you don't need to worry about, Oh, they're not eating my dust! Later.
00:02:49.370 --> 00:02:51.110
Ha! I hear that a lot, right?
00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:51.689
It,
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:52.530
It hurts.
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.099
I'm like, come on, finish your dust.
00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:56.979
But I just dump it out on top of the next day's feed.
00:02:57.050 --> 00:03:00.879
And if that stops working, or it's like mostly dust, then I just wet it.
00:03:01.085 --> 00:03:03.615
With some milk and give it to them in the morning and it's gone.
00:03:04.414 --> 00:03:06.465
And that happens about every two weeks, I'd say.
00:03:07.264 --> 00:03:11.935
Even still, John, if there's dust left behind, they're really not that hungry.
00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:16.245
And there's a good chance the bird might be slightly overweight.
00:03:16.564 --> 00:03:16.935
Okay.
00:03:17.044 --> 00:03:17.814
Oh, my birds are.
00:03:18.175 --> 00:03:18.604
Yeah.
00:03:18.705 --> 00:03:24.134
If they're actually hungry, then they will eat, they'll eat that dust.
00:03:24.555 --> 00:03:29.865
And, but people think that, the dust is waste and, it's a problem.
00:03:30.205 --> 00:03:33.164
It's not, and it's a management thing.
00:03:33.495 --> 00:03:36.664
Yeah, I've looked at the enrobing process
00:03:36.664 --> 00:03:40.925
in mixing the feed and there's plenty stuck on the grains that they're ingesting.
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.000
I've actually put it on a magnifying glass and went, they're fine.
00:03:45.659 --> 00:03:48.810
It's a perception thing on, being a frugal person.
00:03:49.610 --> 00:03:50.870
Yeah, we don't want to waste it.
00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:54.780
I don't want anybody to waste the dust because that's where a lot of the good stuff is.
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.120
The vitamins, the amino acids, right?
00:03:58.219 --> 00:04:00.219
We need to get that into them.
00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:05.469
Jeff, I would probably be remiss if I didn't bring up the subject of grit.
00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:07.889
I'm surprised you brought it up, Rip.
00:04:08.689 --> 00:04:09.840
I'm surprised you waited this long.
00:04:10.449 --> 00:04:12.870
You know how passionate I am about feeding grit.
00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:20.519
And, to me, I think someone should call the Humane Society if people have chickens and don't offer grit.
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.500
Okay, so the grit is the only way.
00:04:25.829 --> 00:04:32.660
that a bird can properly break down, process the nutrients that you're giving that bird.
00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:36.750
It's the same as, serving someone a delicious steak.
00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:40.829
It, it, properly prepared and they have no teeth.
00:04:41.350 --> 00:04:43.079
You take away their ability to chew.
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:44.589
And process.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:54.470
Grit is, and I really get it, I get an annoyed chuckle when people say, Oh, I free range them, there's plenty of stones out there on the ground.
00:04:54.910 --> 00:05:04.029
I'm like, come on, unless, unless you're living in a gravel quarry, or, a really rocky area, it's not going to happen.
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:16.300
I have one or two customers who do live in an environment where their birds will not take free choice grit, just because there's enough in the soil.
00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:24.300
But you're talking about two people out of 2, 000 that have that, that case.
00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:26.730
So I noticed
00:05:26.790 --> 00:05:31.889
the grit consumption doubled when coming from a crumble to the milled feed.
00:05:32.269 --> 00:05:33.600
It easily doubled.
00:05:33.834 --> 00:05:36.235
I'm going through more grit than I ever have before.
00:05:36.704 --> 00:05:40.235
And then when we were processing a batch of cockerels what was that?
00:05:40.245 --> 00:05:46.745
Like two, three weeks ago, there was one bird where I pulled the gizzard out and it was misshaped.
00:05:47.345 --> 00:05:50.144
It was not shaped like everyone else's gizzard was.
00:05:50.144 --> 00:05:52.365
And I was like, I want to know what's inside this gizzard.
00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:56.850
So I split it open and there wasn't any grit in there at all.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:08.100
So I wonder for whatever reason, that particular bird didn't care about picking it up and it gave that bird complications that landed him on the dinner list because he wasn't developing as good as the others.
00:06:08.899 --> 00:06:14.050
And I was super surprised that there wasn't any grit in that particular gizzard, everybody else had it.
00:06:14.850 --> 00:06:15.959
You don't save your gizzards.
00:06:15.990 --> 00:06:17.100
You don't open them all up.
00:06:17.899 --> 00:06:18.970
Not all of them.
00:06:18.970 --> 00:06:20.790
And it depends on how much time we have.
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.209
But when I do, I.
00:06:22.629 --> 00:06:26.550
Just split them open on one side, see what's in there, and then peel them.
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.759
And put them in the bowl for the dog treats.
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.199
I personally don't eat the gizzards.
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.569
I grew up on gizzards, so I really like gizzards.
00:06:35.569 --> 00:06:37.310
Hearts and livers and gizzards.
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:41.370
Yeah, I'll skip the livers, but hearts and gizzards, I can eat all day long.
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.300
We're doing this for the Bress folks and other dual purpose people.
00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:47.670
So it's important.
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:56.850
Even if you don't eat them, to open them up and see the contents of the gizzard, it's very important.
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:21.245
If you're going to be a really good poultry person, especially if you're processing for your own meat purposes, when you open a gizzard, And you, that first glance, when you peel it open, it should be about 50 percent grit and 50 percent other, grains, fibers, grass, whatever, but it should be almost 50 50.
00:07:21.625 --> 00:07:22.194
That's what I
00:07:22.214 --> 00:07:38.324
saw yesterday when we were doing the one year old hens, we did do all of the gizzards because my meat buyer wants them and everybody had a good, Load of grid in there, and the assortment of greens and their feed, all of them yesterday were normal and perfect.
00:07:39.105 --> 00:07:40.045
That's what it should be.
00:07:40.694 --> 00:07:47.324
Hopefully you took pictures so you can share with people what a gizzard should look like on the inside.
00:07:48.125 --> 00:07:48.855
I'll do that next
00:07:48.954 --> 00:07:49.454
round.
00:07:49.654 --> 00:07:52.612
A lot of people have no idea what they're looking for.
00:07:52.612 --> 00:07:53.033
Oh,
00:07:53.033 --> 00:07:58.535
it would surprise a lot of people how much grid is actually in that gizzard.
00:07:59.334 --> 00:08:02.074
So I pull feed the day before processing.
00:08:02.074 --> 00:08:11.954
My birds still have access to water up until the moment that they're processed to make the crop and that whole system easier just for the evisceration process.
00:08:11.954 --> 00:08:20.305
But any ideas on how to make that gizzard, flush it out a little bit before processing so it could be more usable and less gritty in the kitchen?
00:08:21.105 --> 00:08:22.165
And you're not going to do it, John.
00:08:22.394 --> 00:08:23.214
Just, you
00:08:23.214 --> 00:08:23.425
know,
00:08:23.584 --> 00:08:32.605
look, so when the food entered, when the food leaves the crop and it enters the gizzard, it's the particle size is larger.
00:08:33.164 --> 00:08:33.455
Okay.
00:08:34.034 --> 00:08:41.375
It will not pass out of the gizzard until it is very small, almost like a paste.
00:08:42.174 --> 00:08:51.695
So your oat fiber, some of your corn chunks, a lot of your grass or your alfalfas will stay in the gizzard a little bit longer.
00:08:52.014 --> 00:09:00.254
And you would be talking almost a week without feed before you would get that gizzard to really empty out.
00:09:00.595 --> 00:09:01.855
Okay, so split and rinse.
00:09:02.654 --> 00:09:04.634
Sorry, there's no easy way to do
00:09:04.634 --> 00:09:04.865
that.
00:09:04.965 --> 00:09:07.575
That just highlights the level of involvement.
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.909
That some folks probably would have with their birds.
00:09:10.909 --> 00:09:15.080
I want to utilize the gizzard and I want to make sure that the gizzards are functioning correctly.
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:22.809
So we're eviscerating, we're splitting, we're rinsing, and I'm throwing gizzards in a bucket and hearts in another for bagging and later use.
00:09:23.230 --> 00:09:23.429
Yeah.
00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:31.500
Most people set their gizzards off to the side and when they're done processing, they'll come back and specifically just clean gizzards.
00:09:31.995 --> 00:09:33.705
That's like their last task.
00:09:33.754 --> 00:09:37.485
They're cleaning feet, they're cleaning gizzards, they're, right?
00:09:37.585 --> 00:09:38.904
So that's like that.
00:09:39.615 --> 00:09:48.424
Even the next day, if you throw the gizzards in a little bit of salty ice water or something, you can come back and clean the gizzards after you're done processing.
00:09:48.544 --> 00:09:53.434
So if it was a hard day of processing, the last thing you want to do is stand there and clean gizzards.
00:09:53.434 --> 00:09:58.725
Mandy's customers, they want the bird as complete as possible, correct?
00:09:59.524 --> 00:10:00.054
Yeah.
00:10:00.174 --> 00:10:02.965
I did let my meat buyer take over for me yesterday.
00:10:02.965 --> 00:10:07.294
Cause normally I'm the one doing the evisceration and I showed him how I do it.
00:10:07.710 --> 00:10:09.720
And he said that he's faster.
00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:11.860
I was like okay, then you go ahead and do it.
00:10:12.269 --> 00:10:16.870
So he showed me his way and while it wasn't as pretty of a result.
00:10:16.889 --> 00:10:19.549
He's not worried about what they look like in a shrink bed.
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:24.460
Like he's not looking for retail, pretty carcasses.
00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:28.580
He's looking for how fast can I get this bird to where we can cook it and eat it.
00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:32.620
And so he took off a lot more skin than I would.
00:10:32.904 --> 00:10:38.184
He split up both sides and I wouldn't do it that way, but he was faster than me.
00:10:38.184 --> 00:10:38.875
I'll give him that.
00:10:39.674 --> 00:10:50.735
Mandelyn, I'm curious, has this feed trial caused you to adjust your management practices with the birds in any way, or are you still doing it pretty much the same?
00:10:50.745 --> 00:10:58.975
The level of involvement is definitely a lot more time intensive, especially doing the weigh ins when I have to catch everybody, record their tag number.
00:10:59.514 --> 00:11:03.174
Get their weight, keep track of who I already did.
00:11:03.414 --> 00:11:09.065
So I take totes until they outsize those totes and then I'll switch over to a cage.
00:11:09.625 --> 00:11:13.485
So I know that I got everyone like Jeff was saying, I only needed to do a percentage of them.
00:11:13.934 --> 00:11:16.855
But I've been doing all of them every time.
00:11:17.565 --> 00:11:29.215
And I usually need to allow sometimes as much as three hours to get through everyone and then clean their pen, set them back up again and taking that little extra time every day to feed.
00:11:29.215 --> 00:11:36.404
Cause I'm a big fan of bulk feeding to where I don't have to do it again for a week, but I want to know that daily intake.
00:11:36.710 --> 00:11:41.659
It added a lot more chore time, but with what I'm learning from it, that's worth it.
00:11:42.460 --> 00:11:42.929
Gotcha.
00:11:43.730 --> 00:11:45.940
How many birds do you have in each study group?
00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:46.259
I
00:11:47.059 --> 00:11:49.490
think it's something like 54 total now.
00:11:49.779 --> 00:12:02.840
I did have to cull one pullet who got a leg injury that was outside of an easy fix, and so that gave me the opportunity to go ahead and see what was happening on the inside, and there was already great fat development at eight weeks.
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.379
Everywhere that I would expect to see the fat, it was already starting to develop in there.
00:12:07.379 --> 00:12:08.460
The fleshing was great.
00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:11.789
So that was a good little peek.
00:12:12.590 --> 00:12:19.600
And I'm assuming that as you're weighing these birds, you're also evaluating the fleshing.
00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:27.049
Yeah, that's what makes it take so long, because I'm checking out their bone spacing, I'm feeling down the keel on either side of the breast.
00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:33.149
Because I've noticed in some genetic pools, you'll get a lot of breast meat up front, and then you lose it about halfway back.
00:12:33.950 --> 00:12:38.970
And as I go through trial after trial, I'll start to see, is this a genetic thing, or is it a feed thing?
00:12:39.769 --> 00:12:45.684
And then when I see it out of the same hatch batch, where One bird will be a lot better flesh than another.
00:12:45.794 --> 00:12:47.475
Then I'm they're on the same feed.
00:12:48.274 --> 00:12:49.605
It must be genetic.
00:12:49.605 --> 00:12:58.014
So it helps me a lot in the selection of who I want moving forward as a potential breeding bird and who's going to come up for dinner.
00:12:58.615 --> 00:13:00.284
You've adopted a much tighter.
00:13:01.085 --> 00:13:05.195
And you used to do open pen mating, where you had, multiple suitors?
00:13:05.195 --> 00:13:05.715
Yeah, I split
00:13:05.715 --> 00:13:08.754
off a couple of trios, but I haven't gotten down to the pair yet.
00:13:09.125 --> 00:13:16.914
But, freeing up the space that I did yesterday, we processed 11 one year old hens.
00:13:17.245 --> 00:13:32.004
So that dropped me down to 24 remaining, emptied out two pens, so I can backfill with better youngsters out of this growth cycle, because I'm always hatching every year.
00:13:32.065 --> 00:13:33.514
I never take a year off.
00:13:33.884 --> 00:13:41.754
And then I keep filtering as they grow through different milestones to get down to the very best one and a half, two year old birds.
00:13:42.554 --> 00:13:44.995
I like to do it complicated and really get to know them.
00:13:45.794 --> 00:13:46.205
Jeff.
00:13:46.585 --> 00:13:54.004
Just out of curiosity how will the information Mandy collects, how will you be able to use that data in some way?
00:13:54.355 --> 00:13:56.154
To improve what you're doing?
00:13:56.955 --> 00:13:57.764
Yeah, always.
00:13:57.825 --> 00:14:05.764
Every time we have a field trial, regardless of what it is, whether it's management, whether it's feed, whether it's breeding, no matter what.
00:14:06.565 --> 00:14:11.414
Every time we do a field trial, everybody gets to learn from it, including me.
00:14:11.955 --> 00:14:16.384
Anxious to see it, if Mandelyn says I think we can do better.
00:14:16.750 --> 00:14:20.929
Which I doubt she's going to tell me that, but I think, there's always room for improvement.
00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:28.090
I'm a person who believes there is no perfect and there's always something we can do to make it better.
00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:30.009
And I'm going to keep doing that.
00:14:30.809 --> 00:14:31.429
Very good.
00:14:32.230 --> 00:14:39.179
Mandelyn, how will you How do you think this will help your breeding efforts moving forward now?
00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:58.120
If you rule out complications from environment, husbandry, nutrition, once you have really dialed in how you're raising your flock up, then that shows you who the better birds are because you know that they're not held back for any reason.
00:14:58.754 --> 00:15:26.725
They're not overloaded with parasites, they're not covered in mites, they're not living in filth, they're not living in you know what I mean once you dial in everything, then you see what's what in the genetics, and then you can start sorting and selecting through them, because I have learned over the last several years that when I see little four pound hens, like while they're a really productive layer, they're not producing meaty offspring.
00:15:26.764 --> 00:15:36.125
Even if they're with a really well built fleshy male, a lot more of the type and the growth and all that comes from the female side of it.
00:15:36.815 --> 00:15:41.254
And so I'm looking for very particular traits coming from the females especially.
00:15:41.595 --> 00:15:48.754
before I even consider hatching from them and this feed is really bringing the rock stars up to the front.
00:15:48.754 --> 00:15:55.164
It's really setting you up for pedigree mating and trap nesting and a really controlled breeding program.
00:15:55.794 --> 00:16:02.375
Based on how things are going this year and what I'm seeing from the grow outs next year is probably going to be another really great season even better than this one.
00:16:02.375 --> 00:16:02.965
I'm excited.
00:16:03.764 --> 00:16:05.445
So what are we going to try next year, Mandy?
00:16:06.004 --> 00:16:12.075
Pair hatching to get the percentages of how many Good usable chicks come from it.
00:16:12.075 --> 00:16:17.794
So let's say I take this pair, I get a total of 50 eggs into the incubator.
00:16:18.215 --> 00:16:21.125
What is that rate of cull outta that pair?
00:16:21.455 --> 00:16:24.784
Am I keeping 10% or 50%?
00:16:24.845 --> 00:16:25.414
Awesome.
00:16:25.745 --> 00:16:29.779
I wanna see what the rate of cull is when you narrow it in like that.
00:16:30.220 --> 00:16:33.035
'cause right now I just bank on having a 50% cull rate.
00:16:33.654 --> 00:16:41.065
While I'm clan hatching, but I haven't, because I don't know who the specific parents are, where are those culls coming from?
00:16:41.125 --> 00:16:47.154
Is it spread out equally or is it just certain birds that don't need to be in that breeding pen at all?
00:16:47.955 --> 00:16:51.154
So we're not doing another field trial or another feed trial next year.
00:16:51.815 --> 00:17:00.294
We'll see if we come up with any more ideas, but after I get through I was talking to Jason, the owner of Kraut Creek, and I asked if he was interested in doing.
00:17:00.715 --> 00:17:13.424
A comparison of a corn and soy free version, because some folks in the market want to have their eggs and meat as corn and soy free, and I know that it's going to change the growth rates.
00:17:13.859 --> 00:17:20.819
So if I use the same genetic pool of birds and compare and contrast what those changes are, that'd be neat.
00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:23.440
You brought it up, I wasn't going to.
00:17:23.539 --> 00:17:35.210
There are only a few feed mills or feed manufacturers who can make a corn soy free diet that is even close to being adequate.
00:17:36.009 --> 00:17:44.184
That is the toughest feed to formulate, is corn soy free and you can't do it with anything, right?
00:17:44.325 --> 00:17:51.535
You need very unique, specific ingredients and everything has to be done perfectly.
00:17:52.335 --> 00:18:04.224
To see the true genetic, to see the real growth rates and performance of the bird that is a really tough feed to make, especially for a breeder feed.
00:18:05.025 --> 00:18:22.535
Yeah, and it's very expensive to do it that way, so I'm not going to do a long study, just one grow of corn and soy, like the regular feed that we're on now, versus, because I'm curious to see does it lengthen out the grow time past 18 weeks?
00:18:22.535 --> 00:18:24.484
What changes specifically?
00:18:25.134 --> 00:18:25.984
Because I don't know.
00:18:26.275 --> 00:18:29.525
Usually we see at least an additional two week grow out.
00:18:30.275 --> 00:18:34.845
About 10 percent more feed consumption to get the same body weight.
00:18:35.644 --> 00:18:45.115
And for birds that you want to keep as breeders, I don't know that they get the same reproductive organ development.
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.130
And, while they're growing.
00:18:47.930 --> 00:18:57.660
So if you do that, I would want you to almost keep few pullets and cockerels to keep for, to see how their breeding performance is the following season, right?
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:03.230
Because I think we're going to see a deficiency in fertility hatchability.
00:19:03.744 --> 00:19:04.454
And so on.
00:19:05.255 --> 00:19:05.595
Yeah.
00:19:05.625 --> 00:19:06.944
See, now I want to try it.
00:19:07.095 --> 00:19:07.535
Yeah.
00:19:07.605 --> 00:19:13.575
It's no fun at all, but you live close to a feed mill that I have confidence we can make the feed right.
00:19:14.375 --> 00:19:19.095
But still, I think we're going to see a lag in overall breeder performance.
00:19:19.164 --> 00:19:19.474
Sure.
00:19:20.275 --> 00:19:24.105
Something I've been interested in seeing but I don't have the heart to do myself.
00:19:24.309 --> 00:19:32.950
Is my birds back on a commercial off the shelf feed to see how they perform after being on this optimum nutrition?
00:19:33.509 --> 00:19:44.259
Cause I worry about that when people buy my chicks and my pullets, how are they going to respond to somebody feeding them the 16 percent off the shelf feed if I can't educate them enough?
00:19:44.890 --> 00:19:49.839
You had mentioned a possibility of doing a grow out side by side with a, just a bagged commercial feed.
00:19:50.289 --> 00:19:50.569
Yeah.
00:00:00.119 --> 00:00:04.879
00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:15.470
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:40.500
00:00:40.994 --> 00:00:49.744
00:00:49.895 --> 00:00:51.965
00:00:52.765 --> 00:00:53.844
00:00:53.865 --> 00:00:57.615
00:00:58.414 --> 00:01:00.695
00:01:00.695 --> 00:01:08.004
00:01:08.805 --> 00:01:10.334
00:01:11.135 --> 00:01:12.375
00:01:12.385 --> 00:01:12.635
00:01:12.635 --> 00:01:31.245
00:01:31.245 --> 00:01:33.224
00:01:33.424 --> 00:01:40.125
00:01:40.784 --> 00:01:46.355
00:01:46.415 --> 00:01:49.204
00:01:49.534 --> 00:01:58.864
