C. Blaney. Many turkey growers find that poults consume larger amounts of insoluble or non-calcium erit if they do not have calcium sources When given free access to calcium minerals and insoluble grit, they will consume a moderate amount of both Granite is one of the leading sources of insoluble grit. The min. erals in granite ire almost the gizzard of a bird is as an aid in grinding food. Calcium carbon ate is the principal mineral in the soluble grits, tem and assimilited by the body. Common sources are oyster shell, limestone, marble and calcite. Although they are fed chiefly to aid bone development, they may assist the gizzards grinding feeds. After turkeys are eight weeks old, | it is a safe practice to keep both | calcium and insoluble grits before. them, It helps keep grit consump. | tion at a moderate level.
