Mineral supplement for laying hens and breeders
Promotes a correct bone and eggshell formation, reducing the incidence of osteoporosis and bone fracture rate and higher culling of birds.
Calcium metabolism in the hen is extremely intensive during the laying period.
Various factors such as heat, stress, age, confinement, and nutritional management cause its imbalance.
Calcium in different presentation enhance its absorption in the intestine. Calcium Formate, because it is linked to an organic molecule and its reduced molecular weight, significantly improves its absorption in passive transport. The formate ion has a marked bactericidal/bacteriostatic effect on enterobacteria.
To optimize Calcium intake, it is necessary to reduce its elimination through the kidney. Although it is a physiological mechanism, it is advisable to help this reduction by providing sodium bicarbonate.
Its effectiveness is known to reduce renal excretion of Calcium, and return to blood circulation. Calcium absorption from the intestine is directly influenced by vitamin D and its metabolite 25-OH-D3.
Composition
Association of essential minerals for with high bioavailability, indispensable for a proper Calcium metabolism
The mix of different Calcium molecules increase its solubility at different pH , thus improving its absorption. Calcium Formate ; Calcium Lactate ; Calcium Gluconate ; Calcium Citrate; Zinc chelate ; Sodium bicarbonate ; Magnesium Chloride ; Vitamin D3.
Indications
– There is an alteration in the eggshell quality
– An increase of culling due to bone fractures
– During weeks 15-17th, as a supplement at the beginning of laying
To prevent metabolic alterations in hens, maintaining the productive level and their useful life for longer.
