Purastock Pollard 25kg Wheat Pollard Stock Feed for Horses & Livestock

Purastock Pollard 25kg: Wheat Pollard Stock Feed for Horses, Poultry and Livestock

Purastock Pollard is a wheat pollard stock feed, a finely milled blend of bran and wheat middlings left over from flour milling. It's a palatable, energy and protein rich feed that suits most types of livestock, including horses, pigs, poultry, goats, sheep and cattle.

Because it's fine in texture and readily eaten, pollard is often used to add condition and energy to a ration, or mixed through other feeds to lift palatability and encourage steady intake. It's a versatile base that many producers and hobby farmers keep on hand for a mixed shed.

As a natural milling by-product, its exact look and analysis can vary a little from batch to batch with the season and the wheat used. It's best fed as part of a balanced diet matched to the animal you're feeding.

Key Features & Benefits

• Energy and protein rich feed to support condition and growth

• Highly palatable and fine in texture, so most stock take to it readily

• Suits horses, pigs, poultry, goats, sheep and cattle

• A versatile base for mixing through grain rations or mashes

• Natural by-product of the flour milling process

How It's Used

• Horses: often mixed with other feeds to add condition and fibre without excess spark

• Pigs: used as a supplementary energy feed within a balanced ration

• Cattle, sheep and goats: mixed into rations to lift energy and protein

• Poultry: fed as part of a mixed grain mash or ration

Feeding Notes

• Introduce any new feed gradually rather than switching over suddenly

• Because it's bulky and high in fibre, pollard is generally not suited to very young stock

• For horses, bran and pollard are naturally higher in phosphorus, so keep the overall diet balanced with adequate calcium

• Feed as part of a balanced diet suited to the type and age of animal, and provide clean water at all times

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place, off the ground and away from moisture

• Keep the bag sealed or tip into a vermin-proof bin to protect it from pests and damp

• Use within a reasonable time and check for any musty smell or damp before feeding
