Product Description

Sea shell powder (often specifically oyster shell or clam shell powder) is a natural, mineral-rich supplement widely used in animal husbandry.1 It is primarily valued as a highly bioavailable source of calcium carbonate (2$CaCO_3$).

Oyster shell is widely considered the gold standard for calcium supplementation in birds and livestock. While it serves the same basic purpose as limestone, its unique structure and biological origin offer several specific advantages.

1. Superior Calcium Availability (The "Slow-Release" Effect)

Unlike limestone, which dissolves quickly in the stomach, oyster shell particles are more porous and take longer to break down.

  • Nighttime Protection: For laying birds, eggshell formation primarily happens at night when they aren't eating. Because oyster shell dissolves slowly, it stays in the digestive system (specifically the gizzard) longer, providing a steady trickle of calcium throughout the night.

  • Reduced Bone Depletion: Because the bird has a constant supply of calcium from the oyster shell, it doesn't have to "steal" as much calcium from its own bones to make eggshells.

2. Impact on Egg Quality

The "Oyster Strong" effect is a well-documented benefit for poultry:

  • Thickness & Strength: It significantly increases eggshell thickness, leading to fewer "leakers" or soft-shelled eggs.

  • Pore Structure: It helps create a more uniform pore structure in the shell, which better protects the egg from bacteria and keeps it fresh longer.
