Jones Feed Mills Medicated Chick Starter for Broiler Chicks Canada
Medicated Chick Starter for Broiler Chick Feeding Programs
Jones Feed Mills Medicated Chick Starter is formulated for broiler chickens during the early growth period. It contains 20.7% minimum crude protein and is medicated with 12,500 mg/kg amprolium as an aid in preventing losses caused by coccidiosis in broiler chickens.
This prepared chick starter provides young broilers with a consistent daily ration during their important early-development stage. Its formulated nutritional profile makes feeding more reliable than using scratch grain, general-purpose grain or homemade mixtures that may not meet the requirements of growing chicks.
The label directions displayed on the product page state that this medicated chick feed should be provided as the sole ration. Because it contains medication, it must only be used for the poultry class, purpose and age range authorised on the current package. Never combine it with other medicated products unless the label, veterinarian or qualified poultry professional specifically directs you to do so.
