Equimins Egg Shell Improver – 500g
£5.95
Equimins Country Living Egg Shell Improver – 500g
The 500g tub is the starter size of Equimins' shell supplement — enough for roughly a hundred bird-days at their stated rate of half a 10ml measure each, so a fortnight or so for six hens. It is the size to buy while you find out whether shell quality is the problem you actually have.
The powder itself is pure dicalcium phosphate from phosphate rock, white and tasteless, supplying calcium and phosphorus at 1.3:1. A 10ml measure is packed in the tub, and one level measure holds 10g.
Performance & Benefits
- Calcium and phosphorus at Equimins' stated optimum 1.3:1 ratio.
- Pure dicalcium phosphate, containing no animal products.
- Tasteless and white, so it disappears into the feed without putting birds off.
- 500g tub with a 10ml measure — small enough to try before committing to the 1kg.
- Equimins state it promotes growth in poultry and livestock and helps guard against rickets and anaemia.
Suitable For
- A few hens laying thin or fragile shells.
- Ex-commercial hens on arrival, while their condition is being built back up.
- Keepers who want to test a supplement rather than buy a season's worth.
- Dogs and smaller animals, for which Equimins publish separate rates.
- Not a replacement for grit — insoluble flint grit for grinding, and free-choice oyster shell for shell calcium, are separate things a hen still needs.
Feeding
- Sprinkle a small amount onto the food.
- Poultry: approximately half a 10ml measure per bird per day.
- Average dog: one measure per day. Smaller animals: a quarter to half a measure per day.
- One level 10ml measure weighs 10g, so a 500g tub is about fifty measures.
- Store at 10–20°C and replace the lid after use.
Composition & Analysis
- Composition: pure dicalcium phosphate, produced from phosphate rock. No animal products.

- 500g tub. Barcode 5032509103284.
