Why are proteins essential for chickens during this time?

Protein, as a key macronutrient, is the fundamental building block of life and energy. Our TastyGrub, made from black soldier fly larvae, is rich in protein, nitrogen and essential amino acids, which are crucial for the growth, development and well-being of your poultry.  

Think of protein as the nutritional superhero that will provide your chickens with a strong immune system, shiny feathers, and optimal reproduction. It's like the building blocks of their bodies. It's safe to say that protein is a poultry's best friend!

My chicken is losing feathers. What now?

Chickens start to lose feathers when autumn arrives, when they are stressed, or when they lack protein and other nutrients.  

Feathers are made up of about 90% protein, so the animal constantly invests all the protein it consumes into making feathers. Egg production slows down or even stops, and the hen becomes listless and tired.

When chickens start to lose their feathers, TastyGrub becomes a key tool for their well-being. The production of feathers and eggs requires an intensive intake of protein. Our TastyGrub product is like a vitamin supplement for your animals, helping them maintain energy, vitality and maintain optimal levels of protein and other nutrients in their diet.  

Winter brings its own challenges, but with TastyGrub you can be sure your flock will get the protein they need, even when natural food supplies are limited. Chickens can’t forage in the same way they do at other times of the year, so the usual high-protein bugs, worms and frogs aren’t part of their diet. Chickens need a lot of help during these special times. And that’s where TastyGrub’s high-protein food comes in.
