Agrivite Chicken Lickin' Flint Poultry Grit
Agrivite Chicken Lickin' Flint Poultry Grit has been specially developed to provide young chicks with the insoluble grit they require to digest feed effectively. As chickens do not have teeth, they rely on grit held within the gizzard to grind food into smaller particles, allowing nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently.
Made from a very fine grade of natural flint, this grit is perfectly sized for chicks and young poultry. It remains in the gizzard rather than dissolving, continuously helping to break down grains, seeds and other feeds. This supports healthy digestion, improves feed utilisation and promotes healthy development during the important early stages of growth.
Suitable for backyard poultry keepers, breeders and smallholders, Chicken Lickin' Flint Poultry Grit is ideal for chicks that have access to treats, forage or whole grains. It can be offered in a separate feeder, allowing birds to consume the amount they naturally require.
Whether you're raising a few backyard hens or managing a larger flock, this essential poultry supplement complements the range of Pet supplies online UK, Horse supplies UK, Horse care products, and Equine supplies UK available from SL Equine & Pets.
