Ostrea Flint Grit No.1 is a premium, very hard insoluble poultry grit specially graded in a small size suitable for chicks and young birds. Designed to support healthy digestion, this grit performs an essential grinding function in the gizzard, helping birds break down feed effectively.

As poultry do not have teeth, they rely on grit inside the gizzard to crush grains and feed particles. Providing grit is vital for ensuring proper digestion and maximum nutrient absorption.

Key Benefits

Very Hard & Durable – Long-lasting grit designed to withstand gizzard action.
Improves Digestion – Performs a grinding action to break down feed efficiently.
Supports Nutrient Absorption – Helps birds get the most from their diet.
Small Grade Size – Suitable for chicks and small young poultry.
Essential for Grain Feeding – Particularly important when feeding mixed corn or whole grains.

Why Insoluble Grit is Important

Insoluble grit remains in the gizzard where it acts like tiny grinding stones, mechanically breaking down food. This is especially important when birds are fed:

Whole or cut grains
Mixed corn
Seeds and scratch feeds
Foraged materials

Without access to grit, birds may struggle to digest feed efficiently, which can impact growth and overall health.

Suitable For

Chicks
Young growing poultry
Game birds
Bantams and small breeds

Feeding Guide

Offer Ostrea Flint Grit No.1 in a separate container or sprinkle lightly over feed. Birds will consume the amount they need naturally.

Ensure grit is available whenever feeding grains.
Keep dry and replenish as required.
