Pros and cons of Best feed, composition and how to give it to turkeys correctly

In recent years keeping turkeys is gaining popularity in our country. These birds produce many times more dietary meat than broilers and are more expensive to sell. Despite this, many poultry farmers still do not know what and how to feed this species correctly. Meanwhile, the industry has long developed complete feed mixtures for large poultry. Thus, “Best” feed for raising turkeys is considered one of the best.

Advantages and disadvantages of food

To decide whether to buy Best granulated feed, you need to study its pros and cons.

What can be attributed to the undoubted advantages:

1. Compound.The feed is produced with the addition of more than 20 components, which contain all the vitamins, microelements, enzymes and a complex of antioxidants necessary for heavy-cross turkeys. On such a diet, birds not only quickly gain weight, but their resistance to various diseases also increases.
2. Production. Most feed components are imported, where quality standards are higher and stricter. In addition, before packaging, the food undergoes heat treatment, which prevents mold, fungi and harmful microorganisms from entering the package.
3. Digestibility. The feed is well digestible by birds. Turkey poults kept on this diet gain weight one and a half times faster, do not suffer from rickets and do not suffer from food poisoning. The food excludes additional additives to the diet, since it already contains everything you need.

The only disadvantages of Best feed include its relatively short shelf life (3 months) and high cost compared to other poultry feeds.
