[QUOTE="Pennine Ploughing, post: 7954666, member: 999"] Rule of thumb is the lower the fibre and Ash added together below the protein the better it is, if it higher than protein its not good, this is a guide, Look for the top 4 ingredients, as these are the main quantities, after that it's in small volumes and not as important, hi pro soya may be a bit down the list yes, but it's hi pro, so not as much needed, things like Oat bran has next to nothing in it, bit like lettuce, it will fill your belly but you cannot work off it. Things I like to see is Whole wheat, Whole barley, whole maize, distillers if any sort, sugar beet pulp, rape meal. Soya. Less desirable is anything else, how less desirable does not mean its no good, just needs to be further down the list, and they can give a little of what yhe others are lacking. With regards minerals, anything with Safmannan in is generally good feed, as this is a far better mineral and no point putting it in shit3, as it won't make shit3 better, Put it in lay terms, you would not eat a plate of steak on its own, and you need other things to compliment it and balance it up, same for feed. Don't blame to suppliers for bad cake, they have to price accordingly to the market, they all make good and bad, and is priced accordingly, the main problem with getting feed, is some are constantly changing the ingredients to get same specs due to price, so loads vary from week to week even. A constantly same ingredients cake will be better in long run. Feed a better quality cake and less on it if need be, prity much as humans. The stock will tell you best, they don't lie, Over the years in general, them that feed better stuff have better stock, but that may not be down to just the feed [/QUOTE]
