Ovum Plus ®

Advanced egg shell strengthening technology

Every egg producer sooner or later may experience a shell quality problem. Thin, weak, rough, and poor textured shells cause a great economic loss. Shell quality problems usually occur as the hen becomes older. It is thought that older hens do not absorb the nutrients needed for shell formation as well as younger hens. Hence, older hens respond to supplemental feeding of nutrients to improve shell quality. OVUM – PLUS can be mixed in the feed to help reduce losses from undergrade and cracks.

WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT ?
The proof of any product is in it’s performance in the field. OVUM – PLUS has proven itself around the world. Producers tell us you can expect better shells, save more “loss eggs”, and reduce mortality up to 4%.

Give OVUM – PLUS a chance to help you with your shell quality problems. You will be glad you did. It is convenient and simple.

DOES IT PAY ?
One ton OF OVUM – PLUS will feed 62,500.00 birds for approximately five months, at 2 lbs. per ton continuously.

If OVUM – PLUS gets an extra egg in 5 months lay, it pays.

OVUM – PLUS can be used on older hens of any species. OVUM – PLUS has been used on broiler breeders, turkey breeders, pheasants, and quail.

WHAT IS OVUM – PLUS ?
OVUM – PLUS is a nutrient supplement for older laying hens. OVUM – PLUS is a unique combination of soluble trace minerals and vitamins. OVUM – PLUS may provide the extra nutrients that older hens need for egg shell formation. OVUM – PLUS’s success story is in that it gets the trace minerals and vitamins to the hen and helps her with shell formation. OVUM – PLUS IS NOT A CALCIUM PRODUCT. NO CHANGES ARE REQUIRED IN FORMULATION, not even calcium. If the hens are consuming between 3.5 and 4.5 grams calcium per day, OVUM – PLUS can be added to the rations without formulation changes. OVUM – PLUS is a non-medicated product.

OVUM – PLUS is a convenience package. It lets you add extra nutrients, without reformulation, to help older hens until shell formation.
