Ducks and geese in the wild take a great deal of animal protein — molluscs, crustaceans, insects — and a marine-based pellet is an attempt to feed something closer to that than a layers pellet manages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is fed by scattering on water, which is how waterfowl prefer to feed and which keeps the pellet away from vermin. Charnwood Milling produce it at their mill in Suffolk for adult, growing and breeding birds alike, in a 15kg bag.\u003c\/p\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt on fish meal and prawn meal, closer to what waterfowl naturally eat than a cereal-based pellet.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFormulated to cover maintenance, growth and breeding, so one bag serves a mixed collection.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFed on water, which suits waterfowl feeding behaviour and keeps feed off the ground.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePelleted, so there is less waste and less selective feeding than with a mix.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e15kg bag, a workable size for a collection of ornamental or domestic waterfowl.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdult, growing and breeding ducks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOrnamental and domestic waterfowl collections with open water.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKeepers wanting a marine-protein feed rather than a general poultry pellet.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNot a layers ration — birds in lay need additional calcium offered separately, such as Chicken Lickin Oyster Shell Grit.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eScatter the pellets on water and feed as required.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffer additional oyster shell separately during the laying period to cover calcium for shell formation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeed only what birds clear in a session; uneaten pellets foul the water and draw vermin.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKeep clean drinking water available to any birds without constant access to open water.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e15kg bag, pelleted.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCharnwood Milling publish no composition list and no typical analysis for this feed on their own website, so no protein, oil, fibre or ash figure is stated here.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRetail listings describe the pellet as built on wheat, fish meal and prawn meal with soya, minerals and vitamins.
