What to buy at the feed store for gut load

[nightanole]

Im going to be making a feed store run and was wondering if anyone had a shopping list? so far all i can think of is cracked barley and alfalfa cubes. Im almost convinced i should just gut load like you feed a horse. Most horse feed is only 10-12% protein and 6% fat.

horse feed may have excessive fat soluable vitamin amounts.

Alfalfa cubes are a very good item for a dry gutload. I also use some cracked barley (though not too much - you have to compensate for the inverted calcium to phosphorous ratio).
