Ostrich Maintenance Feed (O-040416) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
HAF® Maintenance is a Dual-purpose feed. It is designed for Breeder birds as a replenisher feed during the “off-season” and for adolescent birds (replacement breeders) past 12 months of age and under 24 months of age. Begin feeding BM Maintenance to breeder birds at the end of the egg production season. Feed Free-Choice while at the same time watching the backbone body condition of the breeder hens (ignore the males). Feed the breeders all they will eat until the backbone at the highest point on their back is even with the surrounding muscle tissue. Then, decrease their daily feeding rate to 4.6 pounds (2.1kg) per bird per day. Usually right after the laying season is complete, breeder birds are very eager to eat a good amount of feed everyday for the first 30-45 days of the “off-season”. This is a natural instinct to replenish their body condition after a stressful laying season. During that time period is the opportunity to make body condition changes. Continue to watch the backbone body condition and adjust feeding rate to compensate, BUT do not go below the 4.6 pounds (2.1kg) per bird per day or the body nutrient reserves may be sacrificed. Just make sure to do everything possible to get the backbone even with the surrounding flesh BEFORE the laying season begins as the body condition cannot be adjusted or controlled again until the end of the laying season. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
