Poultry feed for chickens, geese and ducks
You can choose poultry feed by feed form, purpose and pack size: grain mixes provide pecking and texture, layer meal is intended as a supplementary feed for laying hens, and sets combine a base feed with a second component. The following sections show which products have which composition, how 20 kg, 25 kg and 30 kg differ, and which pack suits your stock.
Choosing the right poultry feed
Poultry feed is not defined by a single feature. Feed form, target species, ingredients and quantity all matter. A grain feed remains grainy and is picked up by the birds, while layer meal is more finely ground. According to the product card, both products are supplementary feeds for laying hens. Anyone who also feeds geese or ducks will find two variants explicitly named for those species.
Grain feed and layer meal compared
- Grain Feed PLUS: The 25-kg card lists wheat, maize, split peas, green sunflower seeds, milo and calcium carbonate from oyster shells. Its crude protein content is stated as 10.40 percent.
- Layer Meal PLUS: This 25-kg variant contains oregano. The card describes coarsely ground raw materials and identifies the product as a supplementary feed for laying hens.
- Grain mix: The 20-kg card describes the product as a grain mix for laying hens.
- Grain feed with maize: This 20-kg variant is also a grain mix. The product card lists broken maize as its characteristic ingredient.
Product variants with documented differences
Grain Feed PLUS, 25 kg
This mix contains wheat, maize, split peas, green sunflower seeds, milo and calcium carbonate from oyster shells. The product card states 10.40 percent crude protein and describes the feed as a supplementary feed for laying hens. It is also named for geese and ducks. The feeding recommendation from the eighth week of life specifies a ratio of 1:2 with Layer Meal Plus or laying grain.
Layer Meal PLUS with oregano, 25 kg
This layer meal is described as a supplementary feed for laying hens. Compared with grain feed, it differs in form and in its additional oregano ingredient. The product card names coarsely ground raw materials and mentions that essential oils are included. Chickens, geese and ducks are also listed for this product.
Insect set, 30 kg
According to the product card, the set consists of 25 kg of premium organic poultry feed and 5 kg of dried black soldier fly larvae. The larvae are stated to contain 35 percent protein. Together, the card lists vitamins, minerals and calcium, plus chickens, geese and ducks as the animals to be fed. The set therefore suits keepers looking for base feed and a separate insect component in one combination.
Pack sizes and stock planning
Your choice of weight can begin with your animals' daily consumption and your available storage space. A 20-kg pack is the smallest sack size described here. Two products come in 25 kg, and the insect set has a total weight of 30 kg. For recurring needs, there are also dedicated category pages for 25 kg and 50 kg. This lets you test a smaller quantity or plan a larger supply across fewer units.
Poultry feed 25 kg
This category gathers products in the 25-kg size. It includes both Grain Feed PLUS and Layer Meal PLUS with oregano.
Poultry feed 50 kg
This category is intended for larger supplies. It separates the 50-kg selection from smaller packs and makes planning over longer periods easier.
Feeding and practical use
For Grain Feed PLUS, the product card gives a recommendation from the eighth week of life: after that, feed it at a ratio of 1:2 with premium Layer Meal Plus or laying grain. Layer Meal PLUS is likewise identified as a supplementary feed for laying hens. With the insect set, the base feed and black soldier fly larvae remain separate, so the quantity of the second component can be dosed individually.
Related areas for poultry and birds
Besides poultry feed, related pages can help when several animal species need to be cared for. Geese have their own goose feed category. Duck feed is similarly grouped under duck feed. If you are looking for feed dispensing and outdoor protection, you will find these topics under bird feeders.
Frequently asked questions about poultry feed
How does grain feed differ from layer meal?
Grain feed consists of recognisable grains and is picked up by the birds. Grain Feed PLUS includes wheat, maize, split peas, sunflower seeds, milo and calcium carbonate. Layer meal, by contrast, has a floury texture and is coarsely ground. The described variant contains oregano and is named as a supplementary feed for laying hens.
Which quantity suits small and large groups?
The smallest unit described is 20 kg. Both premium variants are available in 25 kg, while the insect set holds 30 kg in total. For consistently higher demand, there is a dedicated 50-kg category. Base your decision on previous consumption and check the storage space available.
Are these feeds intended only for chickens?
No. Grain Feed PLUS and Layer Meal PLUS name chickens, geese and ducks. The organic insect set also lists these three poultry groups. By contrast, the 20-kg products are described as laying-hen feed and as grain feed for chickens respectively.
What makes the insect set different?
It combines 25 kg of premium organic poultry feed with 5 kg of dried black soldier fly larvae. The product card states 35 percent protein for the larvae and also names vitamins, minerals and calcium. This keeps the insect protein separate from the base feed.
