Brand: Argo

Full description

Poultry keepers scattering a straight grain rather than a formulated pellet are usually after variety in the diet or a way to stretch a layers ration further, and split maize is one of the oldest ways to do either.

This is split maize on its own — no additional ingredients are listed — sold as a straight feeding stuff suitable for all types of poultry, including chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks.

Single ingredient: split maize
Suitable for chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks
20KG bag
Straight feed, not a formulated complete diet

What the label doesn't say. Argo don't publish a protein, fat or fibre analysis for this product, which is normal for a straight grain rather than a compound feed, but it does mean there's no analytical figure to quote here — treat it as a supplementary feed alongside a proper layers or growers ration, not a replacement for one.

Who it's for: poultry keepers who already feed a complete layers or growers pellet and want a straight grain to scatter as extra variety or to stretch that ration, across chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks.

Argo Split Maize

Why we chose it

It's a single-ingredient straight feed rather than a formulated blend, which is exactly what some keepers are looking for when they already feed a complete pellet and just want a grain to scatter. Twenty kilos is the size that makes sense once you're feeding more than a couple of hens.
