[QUOTE="Brett Enright, post: 41135, member: 512"] I have 30 Isa Brown Layers from which I sell the eggs to family & public. I also have 5 calves in an area accessible by the chooks. The calves need to eat pellets, but they spill it everywhere & sometimes the chooks consume a little bit if I'm not there soon enough to clean it up. I need to know if these pellets are HARMFUL to EGGS/Illegal to be fed to chooks. I will readily make up a new feeder to accomodate this if needed. The pellets are 'Barastoc Baby Calf Feed' (No urea added). 'For Animal treatment. Medicated Animal Food Stuff'. Analysis: *Min. Total Crude Protein - 21.0% *Min Crude Protein from Natural Sources - 21.0% *Non Protein Nitrogen (or urea) equiv. to Crude Protein - NIL% *Max. Crude Fibre - 12.0% Min. Crude Fat - 3.5% MONENSIN - 50mg/kg VIRGINAMYCIN - 20mg/kg I am worried about the Monensin and Virginamycin (both registered products: Rumensin of Eli Lilly & Company, USA, and Virginamycin of Pfizer Pty Ltd.) It says WARNING: DO NOT FEED TO HORSES, and THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT CONTAIN RESTRICTED ANIMAL MATERIAL. What do people think? Is this the eqivalent of feeding starter mash to laying hens? I want to clear up the problem ASAP. [/QUOTE]
