A vitamin D supplement can be used to improve soft eggshells, rickets, and swollen joints. Aqua Dee is suitable for use on chicks as young as one week of age or adult birds. Can be used on broilers, layers, or other types of poultry.
Vitamin D is one of the best vitamins for chickens. If your layer flock has soft, brittle egg shells, adding this supplement to their water source can increase eggshell strength and quality. Adequate levels of calcium and a balanced diet are also recommended to improve eggshell formation.
Whether you are raising birds for meat or eggs, strong bones are important to the overall health of your flock. If your birds are showing signs of lameness, weakness, or bowed legs, Aqua Dee can be used to alleviate these symptoms.
Rickets is commonly observed in young meat birds, so we highly recommend this supplement to encourage proper bone development.
Vitamin D for chickens can also be used as a preventative if mold or fungi is suspected. Poultry have highly sensitive respiratory systems, and even mold that is not visible can negatively impact their health.
For proper dosage and supplementation, follow the manufacturer instructions. For best results, consult with a poultry veterinarian on appropriate usage.
