    Its a good thought, but the thing is the point is to actually ferment the food itself, to break the nutrients down into more usable forms. In Chickens, they showed a marked increase in micro-villi in the gut; the part of the intestines that actually extracts nutrients. Less water is needed to drink, as the food contains water, and the base protein count can go up by 12%. They can use more of the food, so they poop less.

    The FF is more filling and nutrient rich, so less needs to be given at each feeding. I’m more thinking, will it spoil?
