Ive been having some major issues over winter concerning nutritional deficiencies in the feed.
The biggest problem is animals not making senior weight, by alot in some cases.
Wool that doesn't grow, dozens of rabbits digging feed out of the feeders, increased cases of maloclussion, sore hocks on otherwise heavy fur footed animals, lowered immune systems, acting like they are starving even tho they have been eating more, reduced circulation in the ears of my short haired breeds, poor ear carriage on the tips of the ears, never coming into condition and older juniors losing weight for no other obvious reason. I'm not talking about a few rabbits here, Im talking about dozens and dozens.
These are some of what has been happening over the course of the last 6 months. This is an ongoing investigation involving 2 vets, the feed mill, Kent and myself.
I need to know if anyone here who feeds Kent has had ANY problems of any kind between last November and now, regardless of how minor. Anything happening that you may have brushed off as a fluke or isolated incident or probably because of a hard winter or anything that seemed weird, but you chalked it up to crap happens when you have rabbits or beginners unluck.
Thank you.
