When to use Poultry Cell?
Poultry Cell is a wonderful tool to have in your kitchen.
We use it all the time at the Foodbarn. It is made from renewable resources and creates no emissions when used properly. If you want to know more about the best way to use poultry cell, read our article.
How to Store Poultry Cell? When we make Poultry Cell, we take advantage of excess poultry from a local farm. They call it waste, but when I look at it, it's beautiful.
Our chicken comes from a local farm, and if they have not decided to process it and turn it into other products, we can get as many as 7 chickens and one duck from one feedlot. We take these birds, then we process them, and produce a ton of Poultry Cell.
I can't imagine ever throwing anything away when there is an opportunity to reuse it. We process the poultry into whole pieces, which are shredded and ground up. The whole process is done using no oils or solvents, and produces a beautiful, nutrient-rich fertilizer.
How to Make Poultry Cell? We make Poultry Cell from poultry by-products, which we get from local farms. Here's how it works: When the birds are taken from the farm, we collect the poultry bones and any other usable poultry parts. Then we shred them and run the pieces through a blender. We use a blender because it's very easy to control the consistency. Most blenders will chop the particles, but the blender we use here can make sure the particles are broken down into a fine powder. This takes longer than you might think.
Then we add a little bit of water and mix it. It gets very sticky and gluey, but it isn't just a glop of goo. When we use this mixture, we make it into a kind of brick and it becomes very hard. We use this brick to make Poultry Cell.
So, we do that process with poultry bones, poultry feet, feathers, and sometimes poultry head skins. When we're done making Poultry Cell, the product is extremely rich in nutrients and has a wonderful balance of minerals and micronutrients. Poultry Cell can be applied to the garden as a soil amendment.
Are Poultry Cell and nutri drench the same thing?
I am trying to use the poultry cell for my ducks.
I feed them a nutridrink that is a combination of turkey meal, fish meal and some other stuff. They really like this but not all ducks. I have a bunch of ducky ducklings that won't eat this stuff. The ducks seem to be the ones that aren't into it. Any suggestions? They are both good and free.
I have a batch of ducklings in my garage at the moment. I am going to raise them and sell them. The only reason I am buying them is to get as much duck meat as I can before they get too big. I feed them the same stuff that the ducks eat. I have a separate pond for them with lots of vegetation. I will let you know how it goes.
Poultry cell is for growing chicks, not ducks. If you look at the label, it has chicken extract and something else, which is a byproduct of the chicken. I am not sure if it is the same as Nutri-drench but it should not be harmful to the ducks.
I do not know anything about Nutri-drench. But if you feed the same stuff to your ducklings as you do to your chickens, then it will be fine.
I had used Poultry Cell for many years until I learned that a friend had fed it to his laying chickens and their eggs turned out to be soft. The Poultry Cell label clearly states that it is for egg production.
It may be okay for ducks but it could be that the ducklings are being harmed. That is why I suggested you try it yourself first.
Well I did it. I started out with 10 ducklings and now there are 30. I have never had ducklings before. I put them out on the pond with lots of plants and they have been eating for 3 days now. They have been jumping around a lot so I think they like it. They have been eating more and more everyday. Their poop is soft and white. I would say they love it. They are so much happier now. I am going to keep them and see how they do. I am going to keep them on it for a couple weeks and then decide whether or not I want to sell them.
How often do you give Nutri drench?
I read in "What's That Dog Doing?
That's Right! He's Drenching!" that a dose of once a day will do it. My question is, what happens if a dog takes too much Nutri-drench and dies? For example, if your 15 pound pet weighs 300 pounds, would you give 4 teaspoons of the Nutri-drench per week or 2 teaspoons per week, just to be safe? I've been reading about Nutri-drench and how much it should be dosed per day or per week, but I don't want to give it if it could kill the dog. You're not going to cause a lethal overdose by giving annualized dose. Your dog's weight times the volume is simply not enough to deliver an overdose. This is especially true with a product meant for the home as opposed to the vet: The typical doses would be 1/8 to 1/4 tsp and are listed as dosing directions on the box. 4 teaspoons is much more than that. Also keep in mind that if he were to eat some in one sitting, that would double the risk of an overdose.
The only time I really ever see this mentioned is from a vet saying to make sure to not drench the family cat since we can kill them with a couple of teaspoons. In that case, it's usually a combination of a dose in food combined with drenching to assure that you don't over drench the cat, which would put a greater risk of death.
