Absolutely ALL about Fermented Feed for chickens, plus extra fascinating facts about fermentation

When I began to investigate fermented feed with chickens, I found out all kinds of fascinating things about fermentation and poultry nutrition. So, does fermenting chicken feed save money? Is it good for your chickens? What are the benefits, and how to do it? This long video evaluates many aspects of fermented feed for chickens, including what kind of container to use (glass, stainless steel or food-grade plastic), how to remove chlorine from water, how to keep the good fermentation bacteria (Lactic Acid Bacteria) growing and avoid the spoilage bacteria (keep the feed below the liquid and the top covered loosely and don't stir). As for benefits and disadvantages - Fermenting feed - helps maintain a healthy microbiome and therefore the chickens' digestive and immune systems - increases some water-soluble vitamins including most of the B vitamins - decreases some essential amino acids including lysine (which is essential for chickens) - helps hens make stronger egg shells (but probably no more eggs) - decreases the amount of chicken poop, but makes it runnier - can be a good way to make use of powder at the bottom of your bag of pellets - chickens might eat about 10% less feed, so saving you a little money - is easy to do but not very precise - you might don't know which bugs will colonise your ferment - is not good for baby chicks (it stunts their growth) - if fed nothing else but fermented feed, chickens might get more aggressive towards their flock mates and might lose feather condition.
