Natural vitamin D3 metabolite supports bone health of laying hens
Proper skeleton calcium (Ca) stores is key to reduce bone disorders. Early sexual maturation, alongside production of the first egg at a younger age, fast increase to peak production and improved laying persistency, has increased the demand for proper skeletal Ca stores at the start of egg production. Only then can bone and shell quality be maintained throughout life.
