Shell Max Algal Booster - Exceptional layer performance all the way to the end.
Shell Max Algal Booster is a unique vitamin formulation containing additional Padina Pavonica, a marine algae. Layer flocks past 50 weeks on Shell Max Algal Booster will continue to produce high quality eggs with rejects kept down to a minimum. A greater number of useable eggs in the final weeks maximises revenue from the flock before it is cleared.The marine algae contains a rare and primitive aragonite form of long strand calcium, which helps birds retain and transfer to their eggs, the vitamins in Shell Max Algal Booster.
Usage: Administer to a laying flock from 50 weeks to the final week at 1 litre per 5000 litres of drinking water or at any age, should shell quality decline.
Physiological eggshell quality issues are associated with poorer calcium uptake (from the intestines) and mobilisation (from the bones) in older hens. This change can be seen in older hens is thought to be associated with hormonal changes in the bird and parallels can be drawn with menopausal changes in humans. Algal Booster us made from the extract of Padina Pavonica algae which, when consumed, upregulates calcium metabolism in the body allowing better absorbtion, storage and release of calcium. Initial studies have indicated that a week long treatment with Padina Pavonica extract through the water at 50 weeks, BEFORE eggshell quality begins to deterioate, can lead to an increase in egg production and a decrease in seconds. There are several products on the market which make use of Padina Pavonica's unique effects which can be administered either through the water or in the feed.
