Agrivite Chicken Lickin' Oystershell Grit

Agrivite Chicken Lickin' Oystershell Grit is a high-quality soluble calcium supplement developed to support laying hens throughout the egg production cycle. As hens produce eggs, they require a consistent source of calcium to maintain strong eggshells and healthy bone development. This specially formulated oyster shell grit provides a slow-release source of calcium, helping birds absorb the minerals they need over time.

Unlike insoluble flint grit, oyster shell grit gradually dissolves within the digestive system, supplying calcium that contributes to strong, consistent eggshell quality, healthy skeletal development and overall bird condition. It is particularly beneficial for laying hens, breeding birds and older poultry with increased calcium requirements.

Suitable for backyard poultry keepers, free-range flocks, breeders and smallholders, Chicken Lickin' Oystershell Grit can be fed separately in a dedicated feeder, allowing birds to consume the amount they naturally require. It complements a balanced poultry diet and can be offered all year round.

Whether you're caring for a small backyard flock or a larger poultry enterprise, this essential calcium supplement complements the range of Pet supplies online UK, Horse supplies UK, Horse care products, and Equine supplies UK available from SL Equine & Pets.
