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.
It contains Permethrin which is effective against mites and lice and can be applied to bedding and housing for quick results. This product is not intended for use directly on the animal.
A sanitising powder that can be used in coops and runs. Helps maintain a healthier environment for poultry by absorbing moisture, the odour of faeces and organic matter, reducing the risk they pose to birds.
Silvermoor Alfa-Grit-Blocks are pure dried, high protein alfalfa and insoluble grit briquettes created to improve poultry welfare and digestion efficiency. Alfa-Grit-Blocks have been created to enrich hen’s environment and enhance hen welfare by encouraging natural activity, relieving stress which decreases the risk of injurious pecking. Made up of 70% alfalfa and 30% insoluble grit these ingredients are combined and pressed into shape. The resultant solid briquette retains its bright green colour which entices the birds’ interest and encourages natural foraging behaviour in flocks. Alfa-Grit-Blocks are an ideal enrichment tool providing variety and a destructive form of enrichment to prevent a potential build-up of bacteria.
Oyster shell grit is used to provide poultry with enough calcium to produce strong bones and good egg shells. Modern poultry laying feeds usually contain sufficient calcium but there is no harm in providing some additional calcium in this way, particularly if poultry are being fed on household food or straight cereals.
