Our regenerative poultry diet per dozen layers:

150 lbs. of cracked peanut/soy and/or other bean/seed
50 lbs. roasted peanut/soy and/or other bean/seed
80 lbs. fish meal
40 lbs. alfalfa
20 lbs. aquatic plants (at least)
10 lbs. yeast and brewing wastes
reclaimed water - as much as they want
poultry grit with lime - as much as they want


- That's what we try to do. With student labor, the true numbers vary.
The fish offal comes from our aquaculture operation: mostly tilapia and carp.
