FEATHER MEAL ANIMAL FEED AND SLOW RELEASING ORGANIC NITROGEN FERTILIZER

1-As a organic nitrogen fertilizer.

 Feather Meal is a source of high slow releasing organic nitrogen fertilizer for your organic garden. It is not water soluble and would not make a good liquid fertilizer.

Work into the soil prior to planting, or broadcast around the plants. For container plants use from 2-6 tablespoons per gallon of soil. For gardens and lawns, use 5-10 lbs per 100 sq ft. 5 lb minimum order.

*Used to increase green leaf growth

*Can be used as a decomposition activator

*Improves structure

*When adding to your garden as a source, always blend it into the soil

Organic garden fertilizers are non-synthetic and non-petroleum chemical based naturally occurring substances used to make soil more fertile. The following organic garden fertilizers are available commercially.

Organic garden fertilizers should only be used to supplement and not as the sole source of your soil fertility program. Its important to supplement with organic fertilizers with and cover crops as your primary source of additional nutrients.

2-As a source of protein for Feedstuff.

2-4 Protein efficiency* of various sources of protein, measured in calves.

Ingredient	Protein efficiency
Blood Meal (BM)	2.92
FM:BM (50:50)	2.62
Feathe Meal (FM)	1.65
Soy Bean Meal	1.21

Protein efficiency measured by using the weight gain of the calves on the urea diet as the base for comparing the weight gains obtained with the other protein treatments. A high protein efficiency indicates that a protein source is being converted more efficiently to Live Weight Gain compared to a protein source that may have a low protein efficiency.
