Apple cider vinegar has long been touted for its benefits to humans. Despite some misconceptions, incorporating raw apple cider vinegar into your diet has been shown to help in terms of blood sugar control, boosting weight loss and its antimicrobial properties. Some folks mix it with juice, some use it in salad dressing, and some even take shots of it! 

You can find plenty of information on apple cider vinegar  for humans, but can it help your birds too? Many backyard chicken keepers have wondered about the health benefits of apple cider vinegar when raising chickens. Can it really improve chicken health?

You bet it can! Our product, Mother Load, is apple cider vinegar infused with garlic for chickens. We call it “Mother” Load because it contains the mother, or the combination of yeast and gut friendly bacteria, within the vinegar. 
When you add apple cider vinegar, especially with garlic, to your chickens’ water, you can expect several health benefits in your chicken coop. Mother Load keeps the digestive tract healthy, boosts the chicken’s immune system and balances the pH in birds’ guts. 

Mother Load also has insoluble fiber, which is a great tool to keep your chickens healthy. This helps food move through birds’ intestines and cuts through mucus. The insoluble fiber helps scrub bad bacteria out of your chickens’ guts, and less mucus means better nutrient uptake. As we like to say, this gives chickens clean guts and butts! 

Mother Load is unpasteurised apple cider vinegar, which means it has a murky substance, or the “mother” in it. Since the “mother” is a probiotic, it fights harmful bacteria with beneficial bacteria. This helps your birds battle disease. You can expect your birds to have better health overall when you give them Mother Load!

So, why is Mother Load infused with garlic? Chickens love the taste of it, and it has antiviral properties! Chickens can get these benefits even if it’s not fresh garlic- they’ll notice the taste in just a few drops of Mother Load.

Did we mention that Mother Load has no harmful chemicals? The natural acids in this raw apple cider vinegar are plenty to boost the overall health- the only other thing you need is plain water! No nasty toxins necessary for a healthy flock. 

Giving Mother Load to your birds is very simple. You just add it to your chickens’ water! First, shake the bottle well. The milky stuff at the bottom is the “mother,” so you want to get it good and incorporated. Then, apply 1 tablespoon of Mother Load per gallon in the waterers of your chicken coop. 

Apply this once per week to your chickens’ waterer. If you have new chicks, run the vinegar days one and two, and then run it about once per week. Get ready to boost your flock’s immune system! The benefits of apple cider vinegar on chicken health has been made very clear to us from the feedback we get from customers, which is really good news!
