A bumper crop from farmer and TV presenter Adam Henson's Cotswolds farm has been put to good use in his range of poultry feed products.

Adam Henson is delighted with his feed products

In spite of the weather playing havoc with the harvest this year Adam Henson, farmer and popular rural TV presenter, is delighted with his wheat crop – particularly as much of it will be put to good use in his range of poultry feed with leading animal feed manufacturer Dodson & Horrell.

Adam Henson says: “The weather this summer has been freakishly bad causing farmers like me all sorts of trouble with harvesting their crops. I’m a firm believer in using raw materials that are fully traceable and from UK sources, so I was particularly keen to get out there and cut my wheat so that it could be used to make my Layers Pellets and Mixed Poultry Corn.

“As consumers, we are becoming a lot more aware about where our food comes from and tracing it back to where it was grown, and this is an ethos l wanted to replicate with the food we give our animals. l hope the people who feed my poultry products to their chickens take reassurance in this as well.”

As well as containing UK and fully traceable wheat, Adam Henson’s Layers Pellets provide all the nutrients a laying hen needs to produce quality eggs.

They contain a clever blend of cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables and herbs, which give your chickens the equivalent of their five a day – and also provides natural carotenoids and other plant colours to enhance the rich natural yellow of your egg yolks.

A balanced feed not only helps support the egg laying but also enhances the health and nutritional welfare of your hen. The ideal complement to this is Adam Henson’s Mixed Poultry Corn. It perks up your poultry, allowing them to do what they like best – scratch and peck for food. Used together Adam Henson’s Layers Pellets and Mixed Poultry Corn provide an ideal safe and balanced way to support your hen in laying delicious fresh eggs every day.
