20% Chick Starter
20% Protein Chick Starter Meal Designed for Strong Early Growth—Built With Probiotics for an Antibiotic-Free Approach to Coccidiosis Control and Safe for Ducks/Waterfowl Due to No Antibiotics
Nutritional Analysis
Protein: 20% Fat: 5% Fiber: 5.5%
Quality Plus 20% Chick Starter Grower is designed for the stage where birds are developing frame, feathering, and immune resilience—and where consistency matters more than “hot” feeding. Quality Plus positions this as a 20% crude protein meal feed for chicks less than eight weeks of age or through the start of egg laying, making it a clean, easy transition point into developer and layer feeds.
A key differentiator is the built-in probiotic package, which Quality Plus describes as an antibiotic-free method of controlling coccidiosis. That’s especially relevant for customers who want a non-antibiotic feeding approach without sacrificing gut stability in the most sensitive stage of growth.
The manufacturer-posted Guaranteed Analysis supports the product’s starter intent: 20% protein with listed amino acids (lysine 0.9%, methionine 0.4%) and a strong early-growth energy profile (5% fat).
Quality Plus also notes this feed is safe to feed to ducks and other waterfowl due to the absence of antibiotics, which simplifies management for mixed-flock backyards and small farms.
