Our organic feeds are made with certified organic ingredients. This means that the crops that produce our grains are grown under a program in which a certifying agency certifies to the USDA that the crops are grown in a way that is considered organic according to national and international guidelines. In the case of our feed mill, Quality Assurance International inspects us, but we buy grains inspected and certified by QAI, NOFA New York, PCO, and other regional certification agencies. The inspections follow the grain we use right back to the field in which it was grown.
There are also nutritional differences in the grains. Conventional grain sometimes has higher crude protein levels than organic. But this crude protein contains non-protein nitrogen that cannot be used by you or your broilers. When amino acids, the building blocks of protein, are measured, organic grains have higher levels and more complete amino acid blends than the non-organic. Other nutritional differences include: • Antioxidants in organic corn have tested ten times higher than in non-organic corn. • Higher natural sugar levels in organic crops create healthier soils, which results in better palatability and more energy per pound. Nature’s Best organic broiler feeds are fully fortified with all the nutrients a broiler needs from hatching to market. M0510 Broiler Starter is designed to get your flock off to a good start by promoting good livability, solid legs, and early feathering. M0523 Broiler Grower/Finisher will build the frame and muscle (meat). It is fully fortified for birds living on a pasture or in housing systems. The small producer or backyard broiler program consists of just two feeds. These include M0510 Nature’s Best Organic Broiler Starter Mash and M0523 Nature’s Best Organic Broiler Grower/Finisher Crumbles.
STANDARD BROILER PROGRAM
Feed M0510 Nature’s Best Organic Broiler Starter from
hatch to 21 days. Each bird will consume about
three pounds of feed in the three-week period. At day 22,
switch birds to M0523 Nature’s Best Organic Broiler
Grower/Finisher Crumbles. Grower Finisher crumbles
should be fed as the sole ration from day 22 to market. The
amount necessary depends on the breed of chicken, weather,
and weight at marketing. The birds will consume
approximately two to two and one half pounds of feed per
pound of gain.
FEEDING DIRECTIONS:
Nature’s Best broiler feeds should be made available free
choice to the birds at all times in clean feeders. Small
amounts of granite grower grit may be fed on top of the feed.
Clean water should be available at all times. Scratch grains
may be fed as a feed stretcher to older birds; however do not
feed more than 10% of daily intake, as it will reduce the
protein level of the total ration. Protein is necessary to
produce lean muscling.
