Why do we you need to mineralize your flock?
In the natural world birds get to feed on many different types of food such as grass seeds, grains, insects and worms. Today many of our poultry are cooped up in small pens and consume a restricted diet. They run in the same pen for months and even years with little ability to access natural minerals.
It is difficult to tell if your poultry is consuming enough minerals in their daily diet. Poultry require all minerals and vitamins except vitamin C to maintain good health. However, many of our feeds do not have the required minerals in them to maintain this health.
Even the grain we buy from the produce store may be lacking in minerals because they are harvested from soils that are aged, weathered and in some cases, mistreated. The soils simply lack some of the essential nutrients our birds and animals need.
