Common questions
Buying, storing, and asking about Tucker Milling feed. Always follow the feeding directions on the bag tag.
-
How should I store Tucker Milling feed?
Store feed in clean, dry conditions away from moisture. Keep storage containers clean and dry, and protect the feed from rain, leaks, and damp surfaces.
-
How can I tell when my feed was made?
Freshness should not be a mystery. Tucker Milling prints a readable manufacturing date and time so you can see when your feed was made, down to the minute. There is no Julian date code to decipher.
-
What should I do if a bag is wet, musty, or damaged?
Set the feed aside and do not feed it if you suspect spoilage or contamination. Keep the bag and its manufacturing stamp, take photos, and contact Tucker Milling or the dealer where you bought it so the concern can be investigated. Report a product concern →
-
What information helps the nutritionist answer my question?
Include the animal’s species, age or life stage, approximate weight or body condition, current feed and daily amount, forage or pasture, and your goal. For a flock, include the species and ages sharing the feeder and whether hens are laying. Send your feeding question →
