The health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar for chickens is becoming more appreciated especially in commercial chicken operations.
How to rehydrate Dried Mealworms using Apple Cider Vinegar
You can use diluted Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV for rehydrating dried meal worms. And it is very cost effective. Simply take a plastic container, add 2.5ml of ACV and mix with 500ml of fresh water. Now add your mealworms and allow to soak until soft. It is important to ensure you dilute the ACV as it will burn the throat of the chicken if you do not.
It also is acknowledged that ACV can lower the ph in the digestive tract. This lower ph makes it less desirable for intestinal worms and other harmful bacteria. It is suggested it may increase calcium absorption which may increase the strength of eggshells.
Apple Cider Vinegar adds a great range of essential vitamins and minerals to the diet of chickens. It contains potassium, acetic acid as well as malic acid just to name a few.
