Spoil Your Hens, Not Their Diet with New Purina® Farm to Flock™ Treats
Arden Hills, Minn. [June 27, 2019] – Do you love rewarding your hens for the farm fresh eggs they lay for your family? Spoil your hens but not their diets with the new Purina® Farm to Flock™ Treats.
Patrick Biggs, Ph.D. and flock nutritionist for Purina Animal Nutrition says finding a nutritionally balanced treat is vital.
“Other treats like scraps, scratch grains and mealworms are like candy for birds,” explains Biggs. “Feeding too many of these treats leaves less room for nutritious complete feed. Purina® Farm to Flock™ Treats include the 38 nutrients your hens need each day and are the perfect complement to their complete chicken feed.”
Purina® Farm to Flock™ Treats stand apart with:
No matter which treat variety you choose, at least 90 percent of your hen’s diet should come from a complete layer feed. Laying hens need 4 grams of calcium each day to produce eggs with strong shells. The right balance of complete feed to treats helps hens lay strong and stay strong.
“The hens in our flock at the Purina farm love these treats as a complement to their Flock Strong® Feeding Program layer feed,” adds Biggs. “We trust yours will, too.”
This first-of-its-kind healthy hen treat is one of the many ways Purina is celebrating 125 years of innovation this year. Join the celebration and treat your hens with wholesome, natural Purina® Farm to Flock™ Treats.
