Barrier Poultry Calcium & D3 Boost

Barrier Poultry Calcium and D3 Boost is a premier blend calcium and vitamin D3 supplement to maintain the required levels of calcium in laying hens and breeding stock.

A balanced diet with the required vitamin and calcium level is essential for overall health and well-being. Important minerals include calcium, phosphorus and salt in a proper ratio, for the formation and maintenance of the skeletal structures of the body.

The skeleton of a chicken is 99% of the calcium in its entire body and is required in the diet for bone formation in young growing birds, whereas, in mature laying hens, for the formation of egg shells. A chicken's egg shell is 94% calcium carbonate. Older hens use calcium less efficiently and so the requirements rise as she gets older.

Calcium deficiency can rise in warmer weather and symptoms in a laying hen are seen as thin shelled eggs and shell-less eggs. If the calcium requirement is not met to help form the egg shells then the female will 'steal' it from her own bones.

Aids:
+ Bone development
+ Egg Shell formation and quality
+ Blood clotting
+ Heart Function

Directions for Use: Don't offer to birds before first egg; Make fresh solution daily; Add 2.5ml to feed per bird or for quicker boost add 10ml to 1 litre of water.
