Quality feeds set the foundations for successful game season
The cancellation and suspension of the 2020 shooting season as a result of the pandemic affected the economics of all game rearers. Now the focus has to be on careful preparation for a successful 2021 season according to Myles Jones, Game Feeds Specialist with Harpers Feeds.
Myles says for many businesses the truncated season was the worst possible outcome having incurred the cost and effort of rearing and releasing the birds and then being unable to shoot them.
The short season means that we are now seeing an increased demand for game shooting with many commercial shoots being fully booked already for the coming season. However, it is the game rearers that have come under pressure recently with last minute shortages of gas supply and the increasing costs of rearing equipment and materials, all of which add to the costs of rearing poults.
