Barrier Poultry Calcium & D3 Boost

Barrier Animal Healthcare

A 100% natural premier blend Calcium and Vitamin D3 supplement to maintain the required levels of calcium in laying hens and breeding stock.

Use: A balanced diet with the required vitamin and calcium level is essential for over-all health and well being. Important minerals include calcium, phosphorus and salt in a proper ratio, for the formation and maintenance of the skeletal structures of the body.

Benefits: The skeleton of a chicken contains about 99% of the calcium in its entire body and is required in the diet for bone formation in young growing birds, whereas, in mature laying hens, for the formation of egg shells. A chicken egg’s shell is 94% calcium carbonate. Older hens use calcium less efficiently and so the requirements rise as she gets older.

Aids: bone development, egg shell formation and quality, blood clotting and heart function.

Calcium Deficiency: Can rise in warmer weather. Calcium deficiency symptoms in a laying hen can be seen as a thin shelled egg and even a shell-less egg. If the calcium requirement is not met to help form the eggshells, the female will steal it from her own bones.

Precautions: For poultry use only. It is terribly important to consult your vet, prior to use.
An excess in vitamins and minerals is not only wasteful, but harmful by locking-up the availability of others and even toxic. A calcium supplement should not be offered before you have seen the first egg.

Contains good levels of calcium, D3 and magnesium for healthy growth, bone development and egg formation. Sexually mature and even healthy egg laying hens and breeding stock may benefit from Poultry Calcium & D3 Boost included in their diet – see ‘Directions for Use.’

Storage: Keep in tightly closed original container, out of reach of children, in a dry, safe, cool place and out of direct heat and freezing temperatures.

Shake Well. Make up fresh solution daily, in accordance with the instructions on the bottle.
