GOOD NEWS
FOR EGG PRODUCERS!
Since 1925 researchers and commercial poultrymen have proven again and again the
economic benefits of feeding pure reef oyster shell. Poultrymen who keep records keep
feeding oyster shell. They know it's a good investment
Here are three things you should know about oyster shell:
(1) It's ideal for mechanical feeders.
Some forms of calcium are very abrasive to equipment. Oyster shell is
not. What's more, some tend to settle out as the ration travels through
feeder lines. But Oyster Shell stays mixed. All birds get the calcium they
need for stronger eggshells
(2) It maintains high blood calcium levels.
Calcium blood levels are important to eggshell formation and healthy
bone development. Tested against another leading source of calcium,
hens receiving oyster shell had 8.9% to 17% higher calcium blood
levels.
(3) It remains in the gizzard longer.
-Oyster shell remains in the gizzard longer than some other forms of
calcium. It "meters" calcium into the bloodstream over a longer period
of time and keeps blood levels high.
There’s a lot more we'd like you to know about the superiority of pure reef oyster shell
over other calcium sources. Call or write and we ll send you additional information.
Meanwhile, don't take chances with your egg check. Ask your feed manufacturer to
include oyster shell m your layer rations. If someone asks you to change, ask to see his
research.
