Equimins Egg Shell Improver 1Kg

Equimins Country Living Egg Shell Improver – 1kg
Egg Shell Improver is pure dicalcium phosphate, produced from phosphate rock, with no animal products in it. What makes it useful is not the calcium alone but the ratio: Equimins supply calcium and phosphorus at 1.3:1, which is the proportion a bird can actually put to work laying down shell.
It is a white, tasteless powder that goes straight onto the feed, and a 10ml measure is supplied in the tub. This is the 1kg size, which at half a measure per bird per day is a long run for a small flock.
Performance & Benefits
- Supplies calcium and phosphorus in Equimins' stated optimum ratio of 1.3:1.
- Pure dicalcium phosphate from phosphate rock, with no animal products.
- White and tasteless, so it mixes into feed without birds turning away from it.
- Equimins say it promotes growth in livestock and poultry and helps guard against ailments such as rickets and anaemia.
- 1kg tub with a 10ml measure included — one level measure is 10g.
Suitable For
- Laying hens producing thin or fragile shells.
- Ex-commercial and rescue hens rebuilding condition.
- Other livestock and small animals — Equimins publish rates for dogs and for smaller animals as well as poultry.
- A flock of a few birds, where the 500g tub would be gone in a season.
- Not a substitute for grit. Hens still need insoluble flint grit to grind feed in the gizzard, and free-choice oyster shell alongside a layers ration; this is a measured supplement, not either of those.
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.
- Replace the lid after use and store the tub at 10–20°C.
