Sorry, product out of stock
Alfalfa Forage Feast is an appetizing blend of alfalfa, flaked maize, flaked peas and grits.
Suitability
- Some of the many benefits of feeding alfalfa to poultry include:
- Increased pigmentation - Hens will produce eggs with more orangey yolks
- Rich in minerals - Alfalfa is an excellent source of calcium and selenium, phosphorous as well as Vitamins D and A.
- High in fibre - A good addition to the diets of hens who don’t have access to grass and other roughage.
- Reduces feather pecking - Gives a diversion and keeps them active.
- Promotes healthy intestinal flora and a good resistance
Features
- For best results take a large handful of Alfalfa and add a cup of water, leave this to soak for 5 minutes. Then scatter on the floor of the pen to help satisfy the birds' instinct to scratch and peck. Can be fed dry.
