Question: Thinking about how to build muscle on birds, what would happen if you ground up a little High Octane Champion Drive and sprinkled it on the broilers feed beginning a few weeks before show to build muscle? Any detrimental components or medications off limits for broilers? Thinking about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sprinkled on their feed each morning. Let us know what you think.

Answer: Robin,

You raise a great question! I am looking into this option as well. We will test run some birds on the High Octane Champion Show Drive product this fall and winter. I will be sure to comment on our results when we have them. I am thinking that the high fat product is not the one you want to use unless you only sprinkle a very small amount on the feed for the last 2 to 3 weeks.

I am more inclined to use the high protein product to get the muscle.

As mentioned before, I will post our results once we have them.

Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss.

Thanks,
