YORK CALCIUM CHIPS improve eggshell quality - fewer cracks -
higher hatchability
YORK CALCIUM CHIPS are an economical source of high-level cal
cium for poultry diets. CHIPS may be used to supplement or replace
a part of the other sources of calcium in the feeding program.
YORK CALCIUM CHIPS should be mixed in the feed along with York
Calcium Flour according to NRC recommendations. (Approximately
1/2 flour and 1/2 chips). For best results contact your Nutritionist.
YORK CALCIUM CHIPS lower feed costs by increasing feed effi
ciency - improved grinding action in the gizzard.
