Feed costs are one of the highest input costs of any game operation and therefore achieving the very best results from the breeding hen is paramount. 

Quality nutrition plays a major part in achieving top results. 

The better the nutrition, the better the performance and in real terms the cheaper the cost of production. 

The Marsdens Feed philosophy is to manufacture the best diets with the highest quality raw materials to support your game birds all year-round, producing stronger, healthier poults.

All the feeds are highly nutritious; the objective to produce excellent sized poults with many game farmers endorsing this high protein feed strategy.

Following the Starter phase, Marsdens Early Grower is the next diet to be fed. 

Marsdens produce two feeds for growing ducklings which are both formulated with the mallard in mind. 

• The Starter Crumb - 20% protein 
  Comes in a standard sized crumb form. It should be fed for the first 3 weeks. 
• The Duck Grower – 18% protein
  At the beginning of week 4 the ducks can change from Crumb to Duck Grower. The 18% protein diet will produce a strong mallard at 6 weeks, ready for the switch to grain.

The Hold'em is a range of succulent Seed mixtures uniquely designed to mirror the natural habitat of the countryside. Ideal for both game and wild birds.
