What are members thoughts on this feed mix, would you say its the right nutrition needed. For the sport of sprinting to middle distance ?

I would absolutely use that. Four sorts of maize totaling 30% of the mix, lots of fats and a 12.5% protein content, pretty near perfect in my opinion.
But crikey, it isn't cheap. GBP 25.00 for 20 kilos! that's nearly Au$50.00!
I bought a bag each of peas, maize, milo and wheat last week, total Au$75.00.
Greetings from the land down under. :D

That is the price for a good quality mix i would say Murray, I do like this mix myself, if i was still in the game.

I am a convert to light feed, plenty of easily digested energy, rather than heavy feeding with peas and beans. I will be trying to create a good race mix with more of a variety if I start again next year. That Beyers Galaxy mix looks good and I do like the Thone' Olympic also from Beyers.
Having said that my birds always look good and do well on my every day mixture. Once again, what you are feeding is less important than what you are feeding it to. :D :lol:

You can get good mixes cheaper than that though Dev, most charge high because they know the suckers will pay it, no offence meant to anyone who does pay top prices

Yes i agree with you Buster, there are some cheaper food mix around. At the end of the day, some people have to work to a budget.

Prefer higher carbs so would add 25 percent maize or high carb grains to it maybe 25 percent dupurative to Wednesday then maize Thursday but also prefer to be in control of fats / energy
I would prefer beyers Gaby say 3 parts then 1part dupurative 1/2 fats with the option to add more

Forgot my pal used that mix you posted Devo he had 4/5 wins with it but is changing next year to have more control on the corn fat/ carb level etc
