Calcium is a vital element Liquid Calcium for Poultry.

In Poultry Birds calcium is required for good egg shell, immunity as well as during stress conditions. as poultry birds especially hatching birds or layers where their calcium plays a vital role in the development of egg shells. while in the case of broilers growth rate of broilers depends on calcium composition in the diet.

As we know Calcium For Chicken egg shell is made up of 94% calcium carbonate. But as in today’s diet chicken are not getting enough calcium in the diet. So they need an external source of calcium as a calcium supplement. Otherwise, calcium deficiency symptoms may appear. So to keep your hens healthy and their eggs strong a well-balanced diet is required which also contains calcium supplement sources. A typical egg shell contains around 6 gms. of calcium carbonate and during egg development in shell gland, the calcium is mainly required. However, if calcium is not provided it may lead to shell breakage or thin-shelled eggs.

In the case of layers we have to give 2% calcium for 1st 2 weeks after birth and if they are not gaining weight then feeding should be done 2-3 times a day. But with age and as going towards lying age poultry there is the increased demand of calcium in the feed.

On commercial layer farm within 1st 20 wk of age 5% of hen start laying eggs.

About 10% birds start laying at 21 weeks age and it increases up to 30 weeks age. After reaching maximum no. of eggs they stop laying. As layer start lying at 18-19 weeks age and lay till 72-78 wk of age. In Chicken for absorption of calcium, they require phosphorus and vitamin D3 in the diet in a balanced amount.

In growing birds calcium is required for growth as well as egg laying for growing birds.

For growing birds ca:p as 2:1 is required and ca requirements increases with age.

In Broilers
As Broiler is a bird of about 8 weeks age with average weight 1.5kg to 2 kg with flexible breastbone cartilage, pliable and tender meat.

However, vitamin B12 is a good supportive supplement for all body functions of birds.
