Masterfeeds 17.% Broiler Grower/Finisher Crumble – 25 kg
17.% Grower/Finisher Crumble for Broiler Chickens
Masterfeeds Heritage 17% AV Broiler Grower/Finisher Crumble is a prepared poultry ration formulated for growing and finishing broiler chickens. It is intended to be fed from the end of the eighth week of age and provides a convenient next step after an appropriate broiler chick starter/grower program.
This non-medicated broiler feed contains a minimum of 17% crude protein and comes in a uniform crumble format. The smaller crumble particles are easy for chickens to consume and help provide a consistent ration without the ingredient separation associated with loosely mixed grain.
According to Masterfeeds, this product is an all-vegetable-protein, plain broiler ration. It should be fed as the sole ration to the approved poultry class. Scratch grain, kitchen scraps and treats should not replace a properly formulated grower/finisher feed.

Feeding and Storage
Feed as the sole ration to broiler chickens from the end of the eighth week. The Masterfeeds guide estimates that one broiler may consume approximately 1.5 kg per week, although intake varies with breed, age, size, temperature and management.
Provide fresh, clean water continuously. If chickens have access to whole grains or coarse litter, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding insoluble grit.
Keep feeders clean and do not allow stale feed to accumulate. Store the bag in a cool, dry and covered location. Never feed mouldy, musty, wet, spoiled or contaminated material.
