Game Bird Feed

[mark]

Can you guys supply me with a list of different Game Bird feed manufacturer. I have called the local feed store about Purina Game Bird and it was too high a price for what you get.

Try Blue Seal Feed, the prices are pretty good and they have excellent gamebird feeds.

around my parts, we are at the mercy of whatever the Feed stores carry and they don't carry many.

Last one I was using was called "Ace." The starter is 28% protein. The developer/maintaner is like 24% protein.
Then recently, they started carrying another brand which I forget the name.

  Did they at least kiss you first? 

  I hope you got cab fare home when they finished!

  That is over $1100 per ton.

  I thought I had suggested MFA.  The best bet here (if you feed a lot) is ADM, who recently bought out Tindel.  The last quote I got for 20%, medicated was $384 ($9.60 per bag), but no telling what has happened in two weeks.  They do have floor-stock feeds in stores, but they are not cheaper than MFA.  MFA has a standard non-medicated starter for around $10-$11 per bag.  It is only 27%, but you can mix 1 scoop of soybean meal with 7 scoops 27% starter to up the protein to 30%.  This doesn't work well with medicated feeds, it cuts drug percentages too much.  Even with non-medicated, I would add vitamin/mineral mix to the feed, or water.

  I don't remember exactly where you are, but there are several MFA stores in the Lake Ozark, Truman lake area.  I think the special mix I got from them was milled in Lebanon.

wildergamebirds,

 I currently get my feed from MFA, but the near me does not carry the Purina Brand I called Ricketts Farm Service that does carry it and thats the price they gave. The MFA in Moberly does not have or heard of their branded Flight Conditioner Feed.

Do you have any Midland dealers in your area?

You might be looking at mixing your own or driving  a bit.
