At Gore Family Farms, our mission has always been to provide the healthiest and most natural products for our customers. One of the ways we achieve this is by ensuring that our chickens are fed a diet that aligns with their natural nutritional needs. This is why we choose corn and soy-free, non-GMO chicken feed. Let’s explore the reasons behind this important decision and how it benefits both our chickens and you, our valued customers.
A Natural Diet for Healthier Birds
Chickens, by nature, thrive on a varied diet consisting of seeds, insects, plants, and grains. Unfortunately, conventional chicken feed often relies heavily on corn and soy due to their low cost and high availability. However, these ingredients are not part of a chicken’s natural diet and can lead to health issues over time.
By providing a corn and soy-free diet, we ensure that our chickens receive a more balanced and natural array of nutrients. This approach helps maintain their overall health, promotes better digestion, and enhances their immune systems, resulting in happier, healthier birds.
Low PUFA for Optimal Health
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are an essential component of any diet, but balance is key. Corn and soy are high in PUFAs, which can lead to an imbalance in the diet of chickens. Excessive PUFAs have been linked to inflammation and other health problems in both animals and humans.
Our feed is formulated to be low in PUFAs, supporting the optimal health of our chickens. This balanced diet not only benefits the birds but also means that the chicken products you consume are healthier, with a better fatty acid profile that supports your well-being.
Non-GMO for Purity and Safety
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a contentious topic, and many consumers prefer to avoid them due to potential health and environmental concerns. Corn and soy are two of the most commonly genetically modified crops in the world. These modifications are often made to increase crop yields and resistance to pests, but they also raise concerns about the long-term effects on health and the environment.
At Gore Family Farms, we are committed to transparency and purity in our farming practices. By choosing non-GMO feed, we ensure that our chickens are not exposed to the uncertainties associated with genetically modified ingredients. This decision means our feed avoids the common genetic modifications present in corn and soy, providing a more natural and safe diet for our birds.
This commitment to non-GMO feed means you can trust that our chicken products are free from GMOs, aligning with your preferences for natural and wholesome food choices.
Better for the Environment
Avoiding corn and soy in our chicken feed is also a choice that reflects our commitment to sustainable farming. The production of these crops is often associated with intensive farming practices that can lead to soil depletion, pesticide use, and other environmental issues.
By choosing alternative ingredients for our feed, we reduce our environmental footprint and support more sustainable agricultural practices. This not only benefits our farm but also contributes to a healthier planet for future generations.
Healthier Products for You
The health of our chickens directly impacts the quality of the products we provide to you. When chickens are fed a natural, balanced diet free from corn, soy, and GMOs, they produce meat and eggs that are superior in quality. You’ll notice the difference in the taste, texture, and nutritional value of our products.
Our chickens are leaner and have a more favorable fatty acid composition, which means the meat you consume is healthier and more nutritious. By choosing products from Gore Family Farms, you’re making a choice that supports your health and wellness.
