Food supplement
Boost the health and laying of your birds
Even when well fed, poultry sometimes need a nutritional boost. AnimalParadise food supplements provide the calcium, minerals and vitamins that make the difference to eggshell strength and overall vitality. Grit, meanwhile, plays a discreet but essential role in the digestion of hens that have no access to small stones.
Why do my hens lay eggs with fragile shells?
A thin or soft shell often reflects a calcium shortage. Crushed oyster shells, offered freely in a separate container, let the hen draw the calcium she needs as the egg forms. A regular supply makes the shells noticeably more resistant.
What is grit for in poultry?
Hens have no teeth: they swallow small hard particles which, stored in the gizzard, grind their food. Grit replaces the natural stones when the run has none. It eases the digestion of cereals and improves nutrient absorption, especially in enclosed keeping.
Our range of supplements for the backyard
- Oyster shell : a natural calcium source for strong eggshells and quality laying.
- Digestive grit : fine mineral particles that support the grinding of food in the gizzard.
- Vitamins and minerals : targeted intakes to strengthen vitality, plumage and the defences of your birds.
The AnimalParadise expert tip: offer calcium and grit in feeders separate from the main feed, so each bird can help itself freely according to its needs.
