Duck Feed: Grain Feed or Layer Mash
In this category, two 25 kg supplemental feeds are available. One option is Grain Feed PLUS as a grain mix; the other is Layer Mash PLUS with oregano. Both product details list chickens, geese, and ducks, so the choice mainly depends on the preferred feed form.
Choose duck feed by feed form
This small category offers two 25 kg supplemental feeds. The product details mainly distinguish them by feed form and addition: variant 23290 is a grain mix sold as Grain Feed PLUS, while variant 23497 is Layer Mash PLUS with oregano. Both versions are described as supplemental feed for laying hens; the details mention chickens, geese, and ducks. If you are looking for grain feed, the first variant is the relevant choice. If you are looking for layer mash with oregano, that feature is found in the second.

In the product cards, the two offers are compared by quantity, feed form, stated use, and the features listed for each one. This makes the difference between the grain mix and the layer mash easy to see at a glance.

Which option suits each feeding need?
When the grain form is the priority
Variant 23290 is identified as Grain Feed PLUS and, according to its composition, contains wheat, cracked corn, cracked green peas, sunflower seeds, milo, and calcium carbonate from oyster shells. The product details list it as supplemental feed for laying hens. The feeding recommendation also gives a 1:2 ratio with Layer Mash Plus or Legekorn from 8 weeks of age. These details make the grain mix a clear choice when a grain-based feed is specifically wanted.
When layer mash with oregano is wanted
Variant 23497 already identifies Layer Mash PLUS with Oregano in its name. The product description characterizes the raw materials as gently and coarsely milled. This feed is also identified as supplemental feed for laying hens, and chickens, geese, and ducks are named as poultry species. The clear selection point here is the combination of Layer Mash PLUS and oregano.

Layer Mash PLUS 23497
Oregano is the distinguishing addition. The description mentions gently and coarsely milled raw materials. This makes it possible to distinguish the option from the grain mix by feed form, oregano, and processing.
