DURVET 136028 Vitamins & Electrolytes, 8 oz

Most poultry feed has a minimal amount of nutrients added and if you feed in a tractor or on pasture these can be further reduced. Adding Electrolytes and other minerals to the drinking water can improve the growth rate of all livestock. The Freedom Ranger chickens are Meat Birds and can pant like a dog after eating and this is one reason the water supplement is used in the summer heat. I buy the 8-oz packet and mix 1/4 Teaspoon in a 5-qt drinker every time its filled. it may be slightly less than ideal but sufficient to keep these chickens hydrated, healthy and gaining weight along with a quality feed. *Photos indicate the health of these meat chickens.

Better than buying it anywhere else only thing that actually works

We use this vitamin and electrolytes powder in our chickens water during the hot summer months to help keep them hydrated... Just a little goes a long way and definately helps with heat stress...

When I opened the package I noticed these little brown balls like some other customers had commented on. So, I sifted them out. I put them in water just to see what would happen and they dissolved eventually. So, I think they're fine. They were NOT bugs like some people claimed. They were just balls of the electrolytes. I also called the company to double check that they didn't have a bad batch or recall. And they did not.

Great product chickens love it.

I watched a YouTube video that recommended this for newly hatched quail chicks. I had this available and plain water for the chicks. It works as far as I can tell, to keep chicks healthy from a long journey out of the egg. They definitely preferred to drink plain water over the vitamins though.

But this product often!

great
