More in depth information

Chicken feed ingredients may but not exclusively contain such grains as corn, oats, wheat, barley, sorghum, and general milling by-products. Protein concentrates including soybean meal and other oilseed meals like peanut, sesame, safflower, sunflower, cottonseed meal, animal protein sources meat and bone meal, dried whey, fish meal, grain legumes such as dry beans and field peas, and alfalfa. Grains are usually ground to improve digestibility. Soybeans always need to be heated and usually by extruding or roasting-before feeding in order to deactivate a protein inhibitor. Soybeans are most often fed in the form of soybean meal and not in "full-fat" form, because the valuable oil is extracted first. Whole, roasted soybeans are high in fat which provides energy to the birds.

Chickens can also be fed un-extracted (full-fat) soybeans. An advantage of feeding un-extracted soybeans is that they still contain the oil which provides high energy fat to the bird. Un-extracted soybeans still need to be heat-treated or roasted with dry heat and then ground, rolled, or flaked before mixing into any diet. Another method of heat treatment is extruding. Extrusion involves forcing the beans through die holes in an expander-extruder which creates friction which heats the beans sufficiently (sometimes steam is also applied). The result is a powdery material which does not require further grinding.

Available forms found commercially are Chick Starter (High fat) ground small and easily digested. General Feed (Balanced nutrition) Layer feed (Higher protein/calcium) Hen scratch (various assorted grains).

Most products are available in either medicated or non-medicated form as well as pellet or non pellet forms.
