Description
Heygates Quail Grower Pellets. The Heygates quail feed range is formulated from locally produced cereals and quality protein sources fortified with minerals and vitamins. Each of the feeds is specifically designed to satisfy the nutritional requirements of quail at different stages of maturity.
The grower and breeder rations are manufactured as a palatable 2.2mm mini pellet. A non-medicated mini pellet designed to follow on from Superstarter Crumbs. The protein and energy are balanced to maximise growth and development.
