Heygates Pheasant No.3 Grower is a 3mm grower pellet formulated to take pheasants from the mini pellet stage through to release preparation. Designed for birds during an important development phase, this feed contains a slightly more fibrous diet to help gradually acclimatise the digestive system to the type of feed birds will encounter later in life.
Containing Avipro Plus and Avatec (coccidiostat), No.3 Grower supports healthy development, feathering and steady growth while preparing pheasants for the transition from intensive rearing towards more natural feeding conditions.
Developed specifically for modern pheasant rearing programmes, Number Three Grower Pellets provide balanced nutrition during the key weeks leading up to release.
