Availability, not just supply

Shell quality declines with flock age, and the decline accelerates when calcium availability, not calcium supply, is the limiting factor. Vitamin D3 status governs how efficiently dietary calcium is absorbed and mobilized. A liquid supplement applied through the water reaches every bird in one dosing period and can be timed to the laying cycle rather than built into the feed throughout.

Shell formation happens overnight, when feed intake is low and the bird draws on medullary bone reserves. Vitamin D3 status governs how efficiently dietary calcium is absorbed and mobilized. In older flocks and at peak production, the constraint is frequently absorption and mobilization rather than the amount of calcium in the diet. A fast-acting water application addresses that constraint directly.

How it works

0 Vitamin D3 and calcium absorption.

Vitamin D3 status governs intestinal calcium absorption and the mobilization of medullary bone reserves. Supplementation raises circulating 25-OH-D3 over the following days, supporting calcium availability through subsequent shell formation cycles.

0 Antioxidant support.

Vitamin E and vitamin A support the bird through the metabolic load of sustained high production.

0 Water route.

Liquid application through the drinker reaches every bird quickly and allows the intervention to be timed to flock age and production stage.

0 Skeletal integrity.

Supporting calcium metabolism at peak lay contributes to maintaining bone reserves over the full laying period.

What the field data shows

Field trial, Australia.

In a flock of 22,500 birds, supplementation was associated with improvements in eggshell thickness and strength, with egg weight maintained through weeks 53 to 63.

Where it fits

Stimuvital IP is applied in the second half of the laying cycle, when shell quality typically begins to decline, and around peak production in breeders. The standard protocol is intermittent, three days every two weeks, rather than continuous. It complements rather than replaces the calcium and vitamin D specification of the feed.
