Antibiotic-Free Complete Crumble for Chicks, Ducklings, and Goslings
Product Description
Manna Pro Non-Medicated Chick Starter Grower is a complete crumble feed for chicks, ducklings, and goslings from hatching to 16 weeks, formulated without antibiotics or amprolium. An 18% protein formula built on grain products, processed grain by-products, and plant protein sources supports weight gain and muscle development, fortified with a full vitamin and mineral panel including vitamins A, D3, E, and K. Feed free choice as the sole ration.
Benefits
- No Antibiotics or Amprolium: This feed is completely free from antibiotics and amprolium, making it the appropriate choice for flocks being vaccinated against coccidiosis or raised without medication.
- Suitable for Ducklings and Goslings: Unlike the medicated version, this non-medicated formula is suitable for mixed flocks of chicks, ducklings, and goslings.
- Crumble Form for Small Beaks: The fine crumble texture is sized for small chick and duckling beaks, making it simple to eat and digest from day one while reducing waste compared to pellets.
- Fortified with Vitamins and Minerals: A complete vitamin and mineral panel, including vitamins A, D3, E, and K alongside copper, zinc, manganese, and selenium, supports bone health, immune function, and feather development.

Additional Information
Precautions
- No coccidiosis medication included: This feed does not contain amprolium or any coccidiosis prevention medication; for flocks not being vaccinated, consider the medicated version to help protect against coccidiosis.
- Feed is perishable: Store in a cool area away from insects and rodents; never feed moldy, spoiled, rodent-infested, or abnormal-smelling feed as it can cause illness or death.
- Adult hens need layer feed: Do not continue feeding this starter grower to laying hens.
Storage Information
- Cool and dry location: Store in a cool place away from heat, humidity, and direct sun exposure to maintain the nutritional quality.
- Protect from pests: Store in a rodent-proof and insect-proof container or location; grain-based feeds attract pests, and contaminated feed must never be given to young birds.
- Reseal after each use: Close the bag securely after every feeding to keep air and moisture out and maintain freshness through the end of the bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between this and the medicated version?
Ans: The medicated version contains amprolium to help prevent coccidiosis in chickens that are not being vaccinated. This non-medicated version contains no amprolium or antibiotics, making it the correct choice for flocks being vaccinated against coccidiosis, flocks raised without medication, and mixed flocks that include ducklings and goslings.
Q2: Can this feed be given to ducklings and goslings?
Ans: Yes. This non-medicated formula is specifically listed as suitable for chicks, ducklings, and goslings. The medicated version contains amprolium which waterfowl are more sensitive to and should not be given. For mixed broods that include waterfowl alongside chickens, this non-medicated version is the appropriate feed throughout the starter period.
Q3: Do I need to add anything to this feed for young waterfowl?
Ans: Ducklings and goslings have higher niacin requirements than chickens. Some flock keepers add brewer's yeast to this feed as a supplemental niacin source for waterfowl to prevent leg weakness that can develop from niacin deficiency. Consult your veterinarian for specific guidance on niacin supplementation if you are raising waterfowl on this feed.
Q4: Why would I choose non-medicated over medicated?
Ans: Choose non-medicated if your chicks have been vaccinated against coccidiosis; the amprolium in medicated feed interferes with vaccine immunity development. Choose it for mixed broods that include ducklings or goslings. Also, choose it if you are raising birds for organic certification or simply prefer raising without medication, where the flock management allows.
Q5: Does non-medicated mean there is no disease protection?
Ans: No disease prevention medication is included in this feed. For flocks that are not vaccinated, good biosecurity, clean brooder management, and dry litter conditions are the primary tools for managing the risk of coccidiosis. Many flock keepers successfully raise chicks on non-medicated feed with proper management, but the risk of coccidiosis is higher without either medication or vaccination in place.
Q6: When should I transition chicks off this feed?
Ans: This feed is formulated specifically for chicks from hatch through 16 weeks. Transition gradually over 5 to 7 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new layer or grower feed into the remaining starter grower ration. Switching abruptly can cause digestive upset in young birds, making the transition from crumble to a new feed format or formulation.
Q7: Is this feed safe for chicks that have been vaccinated against coccidiosis?
Ans: Yes. Because this feed has no amprolium, it does not interfere with coccidiosis vaccination. Vaccinated chicks can be fed this non-medicated starter grower throughout the full 16-week period without any conflict between the feed and the vaccine's mechanism for developing immunity. It is specifically the recommended feed type for vaccinated flocks.
