Then, in the early ’7o’s, re searchers found that if the fine limestone was supplemented with a larger particle size calcium source, the shell quality of high speed layers could be maintained even better. YORK CALCIUM CHIPS were developed in the late ’7o’s as the dependable and economical source of calcium for the modem layer. Since that time, continual comparisons by univer sities, research centers and egg producers have confirmed the benefits that poultrymen receive when they add YORK CALCIUM CHIPS to their laying rations. For improved shells and lower feed costs, have your feed supplier add "CHIPS” to your formula. YORK AG PRODUCTS, INC. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 13, IMB-Al3 lOWI 33.00-38.00.
