Because they do not have teeth, chickens need to eat grit. When in the gizzard, the grit acts as the chicken's
teeth, and performs the grinding actions neccesary to make their food digestable. S.P.R. Centre Hen Grit is
a very hard, insoluble grit which offers great benefit to all poultry. Feed 28g (1oz) of grit per bird, per month.

Use Allen & Page Mixed Corn as an additional treat for birds to peck at in the afternoons, rather than in place
of a nutritionally balanced pellet. For optimal egg production and nutrition, no more than 20g per day (an egg
cup full) of Allen & Page Mixed Corn should be fed per laying bird when a nutritionally balanced diet such as
Allen & Page Natural Free Range Layers Pellets/Crumble, or Organic Layers Pellets are being fed ad lib. *All Small Holder Poultry Feeds are Coccidiostat Free.
A special treat for your hens! A complementary feed for all domestic poultry, made from high quality cleaned wheat and cleaned cut maize. Feed mixed corn only as a very special treat for birds to peck at in the afternoon, rather than in place of a nutritionally balanced pellet. For optimum egg production and nutrition, feed no more than 28g (1oz) each, spread over a fresh bit of run, or on the floor in the house during the winter months. Don't blend mixed corn in with the daily feed, or the birds won't lay very well.
SPR Fishmeal is an excellent source of protein and is also rich in essential ammino acids, vitamins and
minerals. It is a natural balanced feed that is high in protein, energy, minerals (calcium and phosphorus), a
natural source of vitamins (including choline, biotin, vitamin B12, A and E) and the micronutrients selenium
and iodine. It has long been recognised that the anti-genicity of fish protein is low, and coupled with the anti-
inflammatory properties of fishmeal, its inclusion in chick diets has been shown to greatly improve disease
resistance in poultry. SPR Fishmeal is produced from sustainable sources and is a renewable feed source;
produced almost exclusively from types of fish for which there is no demand for human food use. Fishmeal
is ideally balanced for poultry and also a concentrated source of energy. Feed as a supplement in addition to
other feeds.

Use SPR Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) for the residual control of red mite and insects. A natural wormer,
SPR Diatom increases digestibility, and the conversion of feed, whilst improving health with a better growth
gain. Diatom Powder can also be used as a follow-up treatment to SPR Poultry Shield in order to mop up any
surviving mite and prevent re-infestation. Diatom Powder is made from layers of microscopic algae laid down
in prehistoric times, it is mined, and then milled to the correct grade. It is non-toxic, non-staining and can safely
be used on all livestock and pets, and also in organic production. Diatom can be applied directly to the skin, as
well as bedding, nest boxes, dust baths and housing. It also has many household and garden uses including
slug control, and the preservation of fruit and grain.

This is the only medically approved poultry wormer available for the small producer with a maximum of 24
birds. Janssen medicated premixture is produced from flubenvet which is effective against gapeworm, large
roundworm, caecal worm, hairworm and gizzard worm in chickens, turkeys, and geese. Activity includes adult
worms, larvae & eggs. To use, mix the required amount of Janssen Flubenvet (see table below) into the daily
feed ration. The medicated feed should then be fed as a “complete ration” and should be fed for 7 consecutive
days. 1 x level scoop (included) of Flubenvet 1% Medicated Premixture produces 6g of wormer. Birds on the
ground with known worm infestations are susceptible to re-infestation. In such cases, re-treatment after three
weeks with a further 7-day course is recommended.
