According to freedomrangerhatchery.com there are may benefits to fermenting chicken feed:Should You Ferment Chicken Feed?Yes, fermenting chicken feed is a great idea to add additional nutrients and reduce the number of grains needed to feed your flock. Our family of hatcheries believes fermented chicken feed is better for your birds. Here are some of the benefits of fermented grains for chickens:Improved Nutrition: Fermenting chicken feed helps improve digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health by adding natural probiotics. The lactic acid produced by the fermentation process blooms many beneficial bacteria for your chickens, promoting good gut health. It also helps form a natural barrier against disease-causing microorganisms, such as e-Coli and salmonella, and adds extra B vitamins, such as folic acid. With this healthy bacteria aiding digestion, fermenting your chicken feed improves the feed consumption to production ratio of your flock.Reduces the Amount of Feed Needed: Dry feed is soaked in water during the fermenting process, naturally expanding as it absorbs the liquid. This process makes the food softer and easier on the stomach, and because it’s grown in size, the birds remain satisfied for longer. In addition, it can also help increase the feed’s protein content, so your chickens can get more beneficial protein without consuming more feed (and saving you money).Better Egg Quality: Chickens who eat fermented feeds will produce heavier eggs and have a thicker shell. Grains, seeds, nuts, and other legumes in the food you feed chickens contain phytic acid, a nutrient blocker. Fermentation causes the grains to sprout and release some of that acid through the soaking process, so chickens can better absorb the nutrition. The better food your birds have, the bigger and better-quality eggs and meat they produce.Cost Savings: Since chickens can absorb fermented chicken feed more easily, they’ll consume less of it than dry feed. With food being a chicken grower’s most expensive input cost, buying less of it results in cost savings for you. In addition, the beneficial bacteria, yeasts, and probiotics help your flock build up a strong immune system, so you’ll spend less money on medical care for sick chickens.
