Poultry Feed Specialists
In our industry, the outcome that we are all striving to achieve is the production of good quality livestock, which meets the requirements of our customers.
That’s why, at Crediton Milling, we use the experience of our representatives in rearing commercial pullets, to help our customers obtain the optimum results, using the quality feeds that we supply.
Working together, on this basis, helps to create that all important bond between customers and feed company representatives, enabling both to move forward on a correct cost basis and at the same time to keep margins at a steady level, a must in these times of financial hardship and aggressive competition.
Thinking ahead by producing a well-reared bird to sixteen weeks of age will ensure the birds get the optimum start in life. Our feeds and formulations contain all the correct balanced nutrients to help maximise the potential of your young birds.
Good poultry rearing involves more than just correct feeding, however. Feed specialist Steve Marriott, stresses that ‘husbandry is the key, and if you can understand that all important factor you will find that it goes a long way to getting the correct performance from each new flock of birds’. He continues ‘I have always thought it to be prudent that a customer should look at their birds in rear two weeks before they even arrive on the farm’. It can be beneficial to maintain good communication with the rearer as the birds develop.
The good husbandry continues on by ensuring that the well-reared new deliveries are fed the correct ration, carrying on good management with respect to monitoring the birds, through to ensuring peak production by weighing birds every 10-14 days during that all important final period.
At Crediton Milling our feed specialists are not only available to advise on the correct feed and rations, but are also able to help with health issues during problem periods, and are able to advise when veterinary attention is necessary.
Together, we can help our customers to achieve the best results, using the products that we supply and the knowledge and experience that we have to hand.
