Poultry Feed Supplement

 

The shells we sell are most commonly used in the poultry industry as a food supplement.

 

Shell grit (soluble grit) is digested by the hen and contains calcium, most of which is used to form strong eggshells, as used by Kalbarri Free Range Eggs in Western Australia, and many other customers in the egg industry.

​

The majority of an eggshell is made up of calcium carbonate by providing shell grit as a supplement it ensures the birds have sufficient calcium in their bodies to improve the production of eggs from the birds and aids in their digestion.
