About this file
This is a specifications document for feed formula ingredients issued by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for the Pheasant Feed 2026 contract opportunity. The document outlines detailed nutritional and ingredient requirements for four distinct feed rations: Starter (crumbles in bulk), Maintenance (3/16-inch pellets), Grower (1/8-inch pellets), and Breeder (3/16-inch pellets). Each ration specifies minimum crude protein levels ranging from 13.00% to 27.00%, calcium ranges, phosphorus content, metabolizable energy targets, and precise amino acid ratios for methionine and methionine plus cystine. The specifications also identify approved feed ingredients including corn, soybean meal, wheat, fish meal, meat and bone meal, limestone, dicalcium phosphate, and various supplements, with specified maximum allowable percentages for certain ingredients to prevent nutritional imbalances. Additives such as monensin for coccidiosis control and dried whey are included in specific rations at defined rates.
The Breeder Feed ration includes minimum requirements for fish meal (1.25%), meat and bone meal (2.50%), and dried whey (1.25%), with sodium specifications for grower and breeder rations. A comprehensive vitamin and trace mineral premix is specified with exact amounts per 10 pounds of premix, including vitamins A, D3, E, B vitamins, and minerals such as manganese, zinc, iron, copper, iodine, cobalt, and selenium. All deliveries must be provided in bulk form, augured directly into the agency's holding area. The document does not specify pricing, quantities required, delivery schedules, or contract term details within the specifications section.
