Oyster Bird Grit is a soluble grit that is dissolved slowly by a birds digestive juices. The oyster shell releases minerals like calcium as it dissolves. The grit is not only used to grind food, but is an important source of calcium for many bird species such as poultry.
Oyster shell contains high levels of calcium which is important to a laying birds diet to ensure good quality egg shell production and muscle development. Grit also aids in food digestion.
Birds such as Aviary birds and Poultry require grit, which when eaten, is held in the crop, in turn grinding whole grains, seeds or even kitchen scraps etc, making the digestion of their feed easier, therefore better feed conversion to help meet nutritional needs. Along with the slow release of calcium into the birds system.
Oyster Shell Grit is essential for non free ranging chooks that are unable to source their own grit. Also essential for poultry on whole grain diets. Ideal for all Aviary birds and Poultry.
