Fermented Chicken Feed
Benefits of fermenting chicken feed:
- Increases digestibility
- Preserves vitamins AND creates new vitamins. Specifically B vitamins (B1, B3, B12, B9)
- Contains numerous helpful enzymes, antibiotic & anti carcinogenic substances
- Promotes growth of healthy flora through intestines
- Removes phytic acid (anti nutrient in grains that binds up minerals and prevents those minerals from being absorbed in the digestive system), thus allowing more minerals to be absorbed.
- Increases egg weight and shell thickness
- Reduces feed consumption = less feed = saves $$
- Less chicken waste & what does come out is more solid and not as smelly
- Increases growth rate (If you're raising meat chickens this is exactly what you want)
