Jones 20% Muscovy Duck Starter Feed – Medium Crumble, 25 kg Canada
Give young Muscovy ducks a species-appropriate start with Jones 20% Muscovy Duck Starter, a non-medicated poultry ration produced by Jones Feed Mills. Supplied as a manageable medium crumble in a 25 kg bag, this feed is intended for the important early growth stage of Muscovy ducklings.
Formulated for Young Muscovy Ducks
Ducklings have nutritional requirements that differ from mature ducks and other poultry. A properly formulated starter ration provides protein, energy, vitamins and minerals in proportions designed for early development.
This Jones starter is identified by Ontario feed retailers as a 20% protein, non-medicated Muscovy duck starter. Before publishing a complete nutrient table, confirm the guaranteed analysis printed on the current bag, including crude fat, crude fibre, calcium, phosphorus, sodium and vitamin levels.
Convenient Medium-Crumble Texture
The medium-crumble format offers smaller, relatively uniform particles that young birds can consume more easily than large adult-feed pellets. Crumbled feed can also help reduce ingredient selection compared with loose grain mixtures.
Use suitable duckling feeders and adjust their height as the birds grow. Do not allow old or damp feed to accumulate in the feeder. Ducks should have access to feed according to the directions on the current package and to clean, fresh drinking water at all times.
Non-Medicated Starter Ration
This product is listed as non-medicated, making it a duck-specific alternative to medicated chick starters. Nevertheless, buyers should verify the medication statement on every current bag before feeding because formulations and labels can change.
Do not add medications, vitamins, niacin or other supplements automatically. Unnecessary supplementation may unbalance a complete ration. Ask Jones Feed Mills, a veterinarian or a qualified poultry nutritionist if additional supplementation is being considered.
Feeding and Storage Guidance
Feed from hatch only for the period specified on the current bag. Move ducklings to the appropriate Muscovy duck grower ration at the labelled age or consumption point. Introduce any feed change gradually.
Keep water close enough for ducklings to drink while eating, but manage waterers carefully to reduce wet litter and feed spoilage. Store unused feed in a sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place protected from rodents, insects and moisture. Never feed material that is mouldy, musty, wet or contaminated because ducks can be particularly sensitive to mould toxins.

How much protein does it contain?
Ontario Jones-feed retailers list this as a 20% Muscovy Duck Starter. Confirm the minimum crude-protein percentage on the current bag before publishing the claim permanently.
Is this duck starter medicated?

The finished pellets have been broken into smaller, relatively uniform pieces, creating a texture suitable for young birds that are not ready for larger grower pellets.
Is it suitable for chickens, geese or turkeys?
Do not assume that a Muscovy duck ration meets the requirements of every poultry species. Use it only for the species and life stages listed on the current bag.
How long should ducklings remain on starter feed?
Follow the Jones Feed Mills package directions. General feeding schedules from another brand should not be applied to this product because formulations and recommended transition ages may differ.

Yes. Ducks need continuous access to clean, fresh drinking water. Use an appropriate waterer and manage spills to prevent wet bedding and spoiled feed.
Should I add niacin or nutritional yeast?
Do not supplement a complete duck ration without first checking its label and obtaining qualified advice. Additional nutrients may be unnecessary or create an imbalanced diet.
