optimal shell quality. 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.
