Vella Meat Bird Starter Crumble 18kg for Broilers, Turkeys & Table Birds

Vella Meat Bird Starter Crumble 18kg: Complete Starter Feed for Broilers and Table Birds

Vella Meat Bird Starter is a complete commercial crumble that provides all the nutritional requirements for young growing meat birds, from day old to around 5 to 6 weeks of age. It suits all table birds, including broilers, turkeys, quail, pheasants, squab and geese, giving them a strong, healthy start in their fastest growth phase.

The crumble format is easy for young birds to pick up and eat, which encourages steady intake right from day one. It's formulated for growth, with the energy, protein and nutrients meat birds need to develop well over their early weeks.

A key point of difference is the coccidiostat: Vella uses Regano, a natural herbal (oregano-based) coccidiostat rather than a chemical one. It helps with the control of coccidiosis and carries no withholding period for meat or eggs, which also makes it safe if ducks or mature poultry share the feed.
