Manna Pro 16% All Flock Crumbles with Probiotics (8 lb)

Complete Mixed Flock Feed for Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Turkeys, and Gamebirds

Product Description

Manna Pro 16% All Flock Crumbles is a complete, nutritionally balanced poultry feed for mixed flocks of chickens, ducks, geese, mature turkeys, and gamebirds. Formulated with a blend of nine probiotic and enzyme-producing strains to support gut health and nutrient absorption, the crumble form makes it easy for birds of different sizes to eat. Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals.

Benefits

• Nine Probiotic and Enzyme Strains: A robust blend of Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Aspergillus, and Trichoderma strains supports gut microbiome health, digestion, and nutrient absorption across all flock species.
• Crumble Form for Easy Intake: The crumble size sits between mash and pellet, making it accessible for birds of different species and sizes without the waste that finer mashes produce during feeding.
• Essential Amino Acids Included: L-Lysine and DL-Methionine are included to ensure birds receive adequate essential amino acids for feather quality, growth, muscle maintenance, and egg production.
• Fortified with Vitamins and Minerals: A full spectrum of minerals and vitamins supports bone health, immune function, feather development, and overall flock vitality in all listed species throughout each life stage.
• Free Choice or Limit-Fed: Birds can be given free access to consume as much as they want, or the feed can be limit-fed to manage body condition, giving flock managers flexibility based on their specific management goals.

How to Use

Directions for Use        

• Feed free choice or limit-feed: Offer birds free access to consume as much as they want, or limit-feed to manage and maintain desired body condition across the flock throughout each production stage.
• Offer Oyster Shell for laying birds: Laying hens require additional calcium for strong eggshells beyond what this feed provides; offer Oyster Shell free choice in a separate feeder or add to feed as directed.
• Provide fresh water at all times: Fresh, clean water must always be available for every bird in the flock.

Additional Information

Precautions   

• For poultry species only: This feed is formulated for chickens, ducks, geese, mature turkeys, and gamebirds; it is not formulated for other livestock or companion animal species.
• Feed is perishable: Poultry feeds contain live probiotic organisms and fats that can degrade over time; always check the feed before use and discard any that appears moldy, has an unusual odor, or has been exposed to moisture.
• Store away from pests: Keep the bag sealed and stored where rodents and insects cannot access it; contaminated feed must be discarded and not fed to birds under any circumstances.

Storage Instructions   

• Store in a cool location: Keep the bag away from heat, direct sun exposure, and humidity to maintain the viability of the live probiotic organisms and the nutritional quality of the vitamins and minerals.
• Reseal after each use: Close the bag securely after every feeding to keep air and moisture out.
• Keep away from rodents and insects: Store in a rodent-proof container or location; contaminated feed should never be fed to birds, regardless of how recently it was purchased.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What species can this feed be used for?

Ans: Growing, finishing, and mature chickens, ducks, and geese, and mature turkeys and gamebirds. It is not formulated for young turkey poults or other livestock species. For backyard mixed flocks that include ducks alongside chickens, this is one of the more practical all-in-one complete feed options.

Q2: Why does this feed include nine different probiotic and enzyme strains?

Ans: Different microbial strains do different things in the gut. The Bacillus strains help control harmful bacteria and support immune function. The Lactobacillus strains, acidophilus, casei, and plantarum, colonize the gut and support beneficial bacterial populations. The Aspergillus and Trichoderma strains contribute enzyme activity that helps break down feed components for more efficient nutrient absorption.

Q3: Do laying hens need anything else alongside this feed?

Ans: Yes, Oyster Shell. This feed provides calcium at 1.50% to 2.00%, which is sufficient for non-laying birds. Laying hens producing eggs need significantly more calcium for eggshell formation than this feed alone delivers.

Q4: What is the crumble form, and why does it matter for a mixed flock?

Ans: Crumble sits between mash and pellet in particle size. Mash is fine and tends to create more waste as birds sift through it. Pellets are large and can be hard for smaller birds to manage. Crumble works across different bird sizes, small bantam hens, standard chickens, and ducks can all eat crumble without difficulty.

Q5: Can this feed be used for ducks and geese?

Ans: Yes. Ducks and geese are specifically listed alongside chickens as appropriate species. One consideration for ducks is niacin, ducks have higher niacin requirements than chickens, and some poultry feeds do not provide enough for optimal duck health. This feed includes niacin in the ingredient list.

Q6: Should I offer Grit alongside this feed?

Ans: Grit is only needed when feeding scratch grains or other coarse feeds alongside the crumble. Birds that eat only this crumble and have no access to the ground generally do not need supplemental grit. If you are mixing in scratch, whole grains, or other coarse particles as a treat or supplement, offer Manna Pro Grit separately so birds can grind down those larger particles in their gizzard.

Q7: Is this feed suitable for turkeys at all life stages?

Ans: Only for mature turkeys. Young turkey poults have much higher protein requirements than mature birds, typically 28% or more in the first weeks of life, and this 16% feed does not meet those needs.
