Working closely with your nutritionist and feed company to make the right choices ensures each stage of the feed program meets your pheasants&#8217; specific needs while avoiding unnecessary expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By focusing on the optimal nutrient balance, you can reduce waste, prevent over-fortification, and ultimately lower feed costs\u2014saving your farm money and maximizing bird health at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding the Right Nutritionist<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The foundation of any effective feed program is a knowledgeable nutritionist with experience in game birds, as these birds have unique dietary needs compared to other types of fowl. Pheasants, in particular, have distinct digestive systems that require specialized feed formulations. While finding a nutritionist with pheasant-specific expertise is ideal, someone experienced with turkeys\u2014whose digestive systems are more similar to pheasants than other poultry\u2014can also be a strong choice for meeting these specialized needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the Right Feed Company<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selecting the right feed company is crucial for quality feed formulation. When evaluating a feed company, consider the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do they use dried distillers grains? They concentrate myco-toxins and can reduce feed intake, reduce nutrient absorption, and even kill the birds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do they have a pellet mill? Pelleted feed is often preferable, especially for outdoor birds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What kind of quality control do they implement for incoming ingredients, and how frequently are loads tested? Ideally they will test each incoming load and have clear quality assurance policies you can look at.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the plant have the ability to least cost the feed (substitute cheaper ingredients)?\u00a0 The nutritionist should put a fixed formula in place at the plan level.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating the Right Formula<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your nutritionist should work closely with the feed company to create a custom feed program that adjusts nutrient levels for each growth stage. Young pheasants need higher amino acid levels and fortifications, while mature birds require fewer additives. Slightly higher fortification for young chicks ensures strong early development, though the need for high fortification decreases as they mature and spend more time outdoors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Precision in feed formulation is key. Over-fortification leads to nutrient waste and higher feed costs, while under-fortification can result in issues such as feather loss, reduced flight ability, and increased cannibalism. Always err on the side of over-fortification.\u00a0 A good feed program for pheasants will look something like this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>0-3 weeks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 28% protein in a fine crumble for robust early development<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>3-7 weeks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 26% protein in a regular crumble\u00a0 as they grow in the brooder barns<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>7 weeks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 20% protein pelleted feed once they move outside<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>20 weeks and older<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 14% protein pelleted feed for a maintenance diet once mature<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building a Strong Partnership<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open communication between your nutritionist and feed company is essential for effective formulation. It&#8217;s vital that the feed company strictly adheres to the nutritionist\u2019s specifications. Consider these factors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fixed Formula vs. Least-Cost: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request a \u201cfixed formula\u201d approach rather than a \u201cleast-cost\u201d formula, which can allow substitutions that may meet specs but could be less digestible or nutritious. Pheasants are sensitive to dietary changes, and even minor adjustments can affect feed intake and overall health.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quality Control: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality control on incoming ingredients is critical. Ensure the feed plant tests each ingredient for consistency, including mycotoxins. Regular testing helps maintain a uniform diet, essential for pheasant health.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pellet Quality and Durability:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> High-quality pelleted feed is ideal, particularly for outdoor-raised pheasants. Ask for regular pellet durability index (PDI) tests to ensure pellet strength, as weak pellets can create dust that leads to waste and feeding inefficiencies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ongoing Testing and Quality Assurance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent testing of ingredients and finished feed is essential to maintain consistency and quality. Feed companies should test each incoming ingredient and regularly screen for mycotoxins. Retaining samples of each feed batch for at least a month provides a backup in case issues arise, and keeping your own samples adds an extra layer of security. We recommend bi-annual testing for protein levels, salt content, and mycotoxins to ensure each batch meets your specifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By collaborating with a nutritionist who understands pheasant dietary needs and a reliable feed company with strong quality control measures, you can ensure your pheasants receive optimal nutrition at each life stage. This targeted approach leads to healthier, better-performing birds and protects your long-term investment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Formulating quality pheasant
