Alfa Grit Block

Alfa-Grit-Blocks are pure dried, high protein alfalfa and insoluble grit briquettes created to improve poultry welfare and digestion efficiency. Created to enrich the hen’s environment and enhance hen welfare by encouraging natural activity, relieving stress which decreases the risk of injurious pecking. Made up of 70% alfalfa and 30% insoluble grit these ingredients are combined and pressed into shape.

The resultant solid briquette retains its bright green colour which entices the birds’ interest and encourages natural foraging behaviour in flocks.

Alfalfa is an excellent source of protein, highly digestible fibre and is rich in Provitamin A carotenoids to enhance yoke colour.  The insoluble grit dispersed within the block enables normal development of the gizzard, which is crucial for a healthy digestive system.
