Wellness Vitamin and Mineral Supplement for Chickens– UltraCruz^®

This unique poultry supplement contains vitamins A and E, Biotin and Zinc to support healthy skin and feathering, and vitamin D and Silicon to support proper bone formation. Montmorillonite Clay, an organomineral, helps to maintain healthy intestinal microflora. Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and Potassium support proper egg shell formation. Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, has been implicated as a cofactor in glucose production and may help support the immune system. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) functions primarily as an antioxidant.

Flax oil is a natural source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which are crucial for new tissue formation, support digestive efficiency, and provide an excellent caloric addition to regular grain intake. Flax also contains protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Supplementing flax oil to your chickens may help increase the Omega-3 Fatty Acid content of eggs.

Manganese deficiency and Calcium and Phosphorous imbalances can lead to thin-shelled eggs in chickens. Vitamin B12 deficiency can result in reduced feed intake and therefore reduced weight gain. Supplementing your chicken's diet with UltraCruz^® Poultry Wellness Supplement for Chickens helps prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies to support overall bird health.

For additional support to maintain the health of your chickens during times of stress such as antibiotic therapy, we recommend UltraCruz^® Poultry Probiotic Supplement for Chickens.
