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 ? 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 ? 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 convenience package.
