Feeding Programme
The diets have been designed to promote good gut health. The diets have enhanced Threonine levels to improve the mucousal lining of the gut. It is vital that excellent hygiene is maintained around your farm to minimise disease challenges.
We would recommend implementing a regular worming regime every 4 – 6 weeks. The chosen Coccidiostat for this season is Avatec, which also has anti-microbial action.
Turkey Grit is available on request, along with performance enhancers and natural products such as Bio-Mos here applicable.
