Epol SureGro Broiler Starter Crumbs are a complete feed designed for smaller commercial or domestic broiler farmers who want to raise chickens economically for live sale. These crumbs are specifically formulated for the critical first stage of a chick's life, providing all the essential nutrients needed for rapid skeletal and organ development. Because young chicks have small beaks, the feed is produced in a "crumb" format to make it easier for them to consume and digest compared to larger pellets.

Key Features and Ingredients
The formulation contains a high-quality blend of grains, grain by-products, plant and animal protein products, and added oils. It is fully fortified with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to ensure chicks get a strong start. To improve feed efficiency and health, it also includes specific enzymes. Note that this feed often contains registered stock remedies (such as coccidiostats) to help protect young chicks against common poultry diseases during their most vulnerable phase.
Feeding Recommendations
SureGro Broiler Starter should be fed to chicks from day-old up to approximately 15 days of age. The target intake is roughly 600g of feed per bird over this period. It is important to ensure that feed and water are available ad libitum (all the time) and are placed at room temperature before the chicks arrive. After day 15, birds should typically be transitioned to the SureGro Broiler Grower Pellets.
