HEYGATES manufacture a full range of feeds for chicks, growing birds, layers and turkeys using traditional raw materials and modern technology to make top quality products.

 

There is a choice of chick and grower rations with or without a coccidiostat.
► Find out more about coccidiosis
Feeds with a coccidiostat should not be fed to laying birds and a non medicated feed should be fed for at least 5 days before slaughter.

Heygates also have a range of feeds available in loose bulk (minimum order 4 tonnes). For more information contact us and one of the Heygates advisers will be pleased to help.

COUNTRY LAYERS PELLETS & MEAL
16% PROTEIN, 5% FIBRE, 0.34% METHIONINE
Country Layers is manufactured from traditional quality ingredients as a 3mm pellet or a coarsely ground meal.  Calcium is added to provide strong shells, together with all the necessary minerals and vitamins for a healthy bird.
To give an attractive yolk colour, pigments extracted from marigold petals are added together with another compound which occurs naturally in the skins of oranges.
Country Layers should be fed ad lib to laying birds.  A typical bird will eat between 130 and 140 grammes per day. 
If mixed corn or wheat is to be fed then it should be in small quantities in the afternoon.  Too much will reduce the bird's appetite for the layers pellets and they may not get enough protein, minerals and vitamins.
A constant supply of fresh water and grit should be provided.
