Weevils On My Broiler Feeds by Keshi5(m): 7:19am On Jan 02, 2023
Please I have a little challenge.
I noticed that the few bags of feeds I stored although haven't expired have weevils in them, I have sun dried the feeds and close to 95% of the weevils have gone off please feeding my birds with such feeds does it have any effects on their growth/development?

Birds eat insects, so the weevil infested feed shouldn't be bad for your birds naa.
Extra protein, if you ask me. cool

Munzy14, right?

Could this be a very good development?

One would assume it is, since birds eat insects.

Oga abeg allow people with real problems to talk first.
Last night, my neighbour Emeka fell 2 stories while trying to jump down from our landlord's bedroom when he came home.

cheesy
Most times it doesn't work that way o.

These insects leave their excrete in the feed, which can be a recipe for disaster for those that are carriers of harmful microorganism.

If the feed is less than 3weeks old from production date, no problems.

But above a month old, should be discarded or fed to much older birds.

You are learning nwaayo nwaayo wink
