Heygates Oyster Shell 25kg

Brand: Heygates
SKU: 3758
Since poultry have no teeth they have evolved to peck grit which helps to grind their food in the gizzard. Flint grit should always be available (in a separate container to the feed) so the birds can help themselves.

Since poultry have no teeth they have evolved to peck grit which helps to grind their food in the gizzard. Flint grit should always be available (in a separate container to the feed) so the birds can help themselves.
As well as flint grit, oystershell and limestone grit are also commonly fed. These are a source of calcium to provide strong shells. Heygates feeds have sufficient added limestone for birds which are fed ad-lib pellets or meal but it is recommended that flint grit is always available.
 A supply of flint grit is important in helping to prevent Impaction problems (see below).
The easiest way to make sure all the grit requirements are met is to have mixed poultry grit accessible to your birds. This product is a mixture of flint grit, limestone grit and oystershell grit.

Heygates Breeding Sow Nuts 20kg

Heygates breeding sow nuts are a quality ration designed to promote milk production. A maintenance ration for a typical sow is around 2.5kg per day. After farrowing increase the feed gradually over the first 10 days. A good rule of thumb is to feed 2kg plus 0.5kg per piglet. At weaning reduce the feed to maintenance levels unless the sow is very thin. 16% protein and 6% fibre.
