“If ever there was a time” Guest blog by Oakwood Game Foods

As we approach the start of another Game rearing Season, the months ahead are full of uncertainty and speculation, with plenty of potential hazards and obstacles.

As we all know 2022, was a very difficult year, the threat of Avian Influence remains in the forefront of most people’s minds. The constant worry on whether there will be enough eggs, chicks and poults to go around this year, is the topic of many conversations. If you are fortunate enough to receive your quoter in full of eggs, chicks, or poults, it is so important to provide them with the very best inputs.

This can only be achieved by good management practises, exceptional biosecurity, clean and dust free bedding, clean bug free water and top-quality nutritional feed!

If ever there was a time, to maximise returns, it is this year!

Cutting corners in any area, simply will not work!

At Oakwood Game Feeds, special attention is always directed towards feed quality and performance, the diets are “built up to a standard not down to a price”!

Oakwood supply the very best nutrition, from feeding the Breeding Hen & Cock Bird through rearing, then on to release.

With over 35 years’ experience our philosophy remains unchanged and is based upon formulating highly palatable nutritional feeds. Special attention is directed towards maintaining excellent gut health.

Oakwood always offers the very best solution to produce economically cost-effective birds. 

This year the cost of proteins has dramatically increased, this is due to many factors, global supply, drought, and poor exchange rates have all contributed to the spike, the cost of Soya is currently at an all-time high.

In summary from a Game Farmers point of view, every bird reared counts! The desire to produce strong and healthy with exceptional skeleton development birds is key to a successful year!

It is so easy to be tempted to save money, but at what cost?
