In this podcast episode, we conclude our discussion with Jeff Mattocks about the feed trial Mandelyn Royal is conducting.  This trial uses a custom, breed-specific feed, designed by Jeff, for Mandelyn’s Breese. We cover the importance of grit, what healthy gizzards should look like, and why corn and soy-free diets are so hard to formulate.  We'll also talk about plants for future studies that Mandelyn would like to do to keep improving her flock.
