Crushed Oyster Shells & Poultry Grit
Crushed Oyster Shells & Poultry Grit
Discover the Perrin Madox range of crushed oyster shells and mineral grit for pigeons, laying hens and other poultry.
These mineral feed supplements provide a natural source of calcium and help support the mechanical grinding of feed in the gizzard, contributing to the nutritional needs of birds.
Crushed Oyster Shells: A Natural Source of Calcium
Naturally rich in calcium carbonate, crushed oyster shells are particularly useful for laying hens and other egg-producing birds.
Calcium plays an essential role in:
-
Eggshell formation and strength.
-
Bone development and maintenance.
-
Maintaining a balanced mineral intake during egg production.
Our crushed oyster shells are available in different packaging formats to suit the needs of poultry keepers, breeders and professional distributors.
Mineral Grit for Pigeons and Poultry
Perrin Madox mineral grit combines several complementary ingredients, including crushed marine shells, quartzite, flint, red mineral stone and charcoal.
The hard, insoluble mineral particles help the gizzard mechanically grind seeds and grains, while the crushed shells provide a source of calcium.
Our aniseed-scented grit is suitable for pigeons, chickens and other poultry.
Mineral Supplements for Different Poultry Needs
Crushed oyster shells and mineral grit serve complementary purposes.
Crushed oyster shells primarily provide calcium, particularly important for laying birds.
Mineral grit combines calcium-rich materials with hard mineral particles that help birds grind their feed.
Both products can be offered as part of a balanced, species-appropriate diet.
