The Breeder Stage

Marsdens breeder diets are formulated to meet the nutrient requirements of the bird (protein, energy, amino acids and minerals) and to support health by including dietary fibre sources to promote intestinal bacterial populations which are beneficial to the bird.

PHEASANT

Breeder Pellets

Highly nutritious feeds containing either fish oil, from Reproflor Plus, or where appropriate, fishmeal, supporting egg numbers, fertility and hatchability.

PARTRIDGE

From early February, the final stage of preparation is underway to transfer the birds to the laying pen.

  • If the hen is too thin, longevity and egg production can be impacted
  • But if the hen is too fat the results can be equally devastating
  • Good health and condition for both the hen and the cock, must be achieved

Nutrition can play an important role in supporting bird health throughout the laying season:

  • Maximising egg production
  • Improving fertility and hatchability
  • Laying the foundations for optimum breeding
