Lately I see a lot of traffic regarding pasture poultry recipes. We are
working directly
with Jeff Maddox at Fertrell to get complete rations recipes. His telephone
Number is 800-347-1566. Anyone can call him directly.
He is very easy to talk with and eager to help us with our pasture poultry
questions. If Jeff isn't there you can ask to speak to Ed Wilter or Ralph
Stauffer.

Here are the recipes I am using in my broilers, layers and turkeys. It's
okay to substitute things, since some folks will not have specific
ingredients available in their areas. It is important however, to work with
a knowledgeable feed mixer, to make sure your substitute ingredients will
work. Leave out the kelp and probiotics if not available in your area.
You probably won't see a significant difference in performance.

pasture broilers STARTER 20% protein
Per Ton:
ground shelled corn 500
cracked shelled corn 500
ground roasted soybeans 600 (must be roasted, otherwise toxic)

also use wheat middlings)
