Feeding poultry through each production stage
Poultry Starter
Free Range Poultry Starter is designed to encourage early feed intake and healthy growth in young poultry.
The finely processed grain mix makes the feed suitable for young birds and provides balanced energy, protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals during the important early growth period.
It may be used for a range of poultry including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and game birds, with the appropriate feeding period depending on the species and production purpose.
Poultry Grower
Free Range Poultry Grower is designed for growing poultry following the starter stage.
It provides balanced energy, protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to support continued growth and development.
The product can be used for birds being grown for meat as well as selected growing poultry progressing toward breeding or laying programs.
Free Range Poultry Grower is available as either a pellet or grain mix.
Pullet Grower
Free Range Pullet Grower is designed for replacement laying birds during the period between chick starter and the onset of lay.
The aim during the pullet-growing period is to support steady frame and body development while preparing birds for their later laying phase.
Once birds reach the appropriate stage of development, they can transition onto a suitable layer feed.
Layer Feeds
Counterpoint Stockfeeds manufactures several layer feeds to suit different flock types, feeding systems and customer preferences.
Backyard Layer Pellet
Backyard Layer Pellet is a vegetarian pellet designed for domestic laying hens with access to other feed sources.
It provides a practical supplementary feed for backyard hens from the point of lay, supplying energy, protein, amino acids, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and minerals to help support bird health and egg production.
Free Range Layer
Free Range Layer is a nutritionally balanced feed designed to support egg production in free-range laying hens.
Even where hens have access to pasture, insects and other forage, the nutrients available from the range can vary considerably with season, weather and stocking rate. A balanced layer feed helps provide a consistent supply of energy, protein, amino acids, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and trace minerals.
Free Range Layer is available as either a pellet or grain blend.
Free Range Green & Gold Layer Mix
Free Range Green & Gold Layer Mix is a textured grain mix designed to provide balanced nutrition for laying hens while retaining the appearance of a traditional mixed-grain feed.
The formulation includes cereal grains, vegetable protein sources, minerals, vitamins and lucerne as a fibre source.
The textured presentation may suit producers and retailers looking for a visually identifiable grain-based layer feed.
Poultry Breeder Feed
Free Range Poultry Breeder is designed for breeding birds where reproductive performance, bird condition and egg production are important.
Breeder feeds require an appropriate balance of energy, protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals while avoiding excessive body condition.
Vegetarian and antibiotic-free poultry feeds
The Counterpoint Stockfeeds Free Range Poultry range is formulated without animal-derived protein meals or antibiotics.
The feeds use combinations of cereal grains, legumes, vegetable protein meals, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and selected feed technologies to provide balanced nutrition across different poultry production stages.
Selected products also use plant-based and essential-oil-based feed technologies as part of the feeding program.
Customers supplying a specific retail, assurance or production program should confirm the current product specification before ordering.
