Heygates Number 5 Maintenance Pellets are a later-stage pheasant feed developed to maintain condition and support birds following the main growing programme. Fed from approximately week 13 onwards, this balanced pellet is designed for birds approaching release and those transitioning into a more natural feeding environment. Formulated with a lower protein level and increased fibre content compared with earlier-stage diets, Number 5 Maintenance Pellets help support ongoing condition without promoting excessive growth. This makes them ideal as a maintenance or covert feed for birds that have completed the main rearing phase. Number Five forms the final stage of the Heygates pheasant feeding programme.
