Calcium and phosphorus are essential for the skeletal development of poultry and play a key role in eggshell formation in laying hens.
In intensive poultry farming, birds have very high metabolic activity, which puts particular strain on calcium metabolism. A laying hen incorporates 30–40 times more calcium into eggshells annually than is contained in its entire skeleton. In broilers, the body’s calcium and phosphorus content increases more than 60-fold within just six weeks of rearing.
Beyond bone and eggshell formation, calcium also plays an important role in blood clotting, muscle function, and fat transport into the yolk. Phosphorus is vital for energy transfer (ATP), enzyme production, DNA/RNA structure, acid–base balance, and fat transport.
Deficiency or imbalance in Ca and P can lead to growth disorders, bone malformations, weak eggshells, reduced production, and even cannibalism.
Absorption of Ca and P depends on several factors; even if feed contains them in ideal proportions, they may not always be properly absorbed.
AYUCAL drinking solution is a herbal preparation formulated with scientifically proven plant-based active ingredients that support the absorption and utilization of these two essential minerals in poultry.
INDICATIONS:
- To support growth performance in young flocks.
- To improve Ca and P absorption and utilization in older flocks.
- To aid the reintroduction of molted flocks into production.
- To improve egg production in terms of both quality and quantity.
- To reduce feather pecking caused by Ca and P deficiency.
- For treating feathering and plumage growth disorders.
- To help prevent bone development disorders caused by Ca and P deficiency.
MODE OF ACTION:
- Enhances absorption, bioavailability, and utilization of dietary calcium and phosphorus.
- Improves eggshell quality in layers, particularly during peak production and in the final third of the laying period.
- May improve hatchability of eggs.
- Based on farm results, supports better slaughter weight and breast meat yield.
- Improves feather quality.
- Helps prevent skeletal development disorders.
