 Vitamin D is key to optimising calcium absorption

The rapid growth rate of modern day poultry requires supplementation of essential nutrients for support of growth and health, all the while trying to maximise and attain its full genetic potential.

Calcium and phosphorus are essential nutrients involved in many biological processes. Both of these minerals play roles in the skeleton, metabolic balance, blood clotting, enzyme activation, neuromuscular function, nucleic acids and many more functions and processes of the living system.



The Vitamin D3 is the crucial component for the bone formation or for a good egg quality. The micro element magnesium is essential for the bone- and egg shell matrix. The body needs vitamin D3 to absorb calcium. Without enough vitamin D3, the body can’t form enough of the hormone calcitriol. This in turn leads to unsatisfactory calcium absorption from the feed. In deficiency, the body utilises calcium from its stores in the skeleton, which weakens existing bone and prevents the formation of strong, new bone. Calcium, vitamin D3 and magnesium should be supplemented to bird. It supports bird to keep the calcium balance in an optimum condition. It increases the egg production and improves poor egg shell quality. Improves growth and bone strength, prevent bone disorders. Prevents the decrease of blood Ca and Mg levels. 

BONE HEALTH

One of the most important roles of vitamin D3 is to maintain skeletal calcium balance by promoting calcium absorption in the intestines, promoting bone resorption by increasing osteoclast number, maintaining calcium and phosphate levels for bone formation, and allowing proper functioning of parathyroid hormone to maintain serum calcium levels. Vitamin D3 deficiency can result in lower bone mineral density and an increased risk of bone loss (osteoporosis), Rickets.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Vitamin D3 receptor ligands have been shown to increase the activity of natural killer cells, and enhance the phagocytic activity of macrophages. 

THE EGGSHELL

The eggshell is a highly specialized mineralized structure, which provides protection against physical damage and penetration by micro-organisms. The egg shell consists of the inner and outer shell membranes, the true shell and the cuticle. The crystalline layer of the shell, which is responsible for its mechanical strength, consists of more than 90% calcium in the form of calcium carbonate. Calcium is absorbed from the feed in the intestine. Provided that sufficient calcium (3.8–4.2%) is present in the feed, the process of calcium uptake, deposition and excretion is regulated by vitamin D3 and its metabolites. Intra Calferol takes care for sufficient Calcium to build up this eggshell and sufficient level of vitamin D3 to absorb the calcium.



For strong eggs & bones use CALVITAM EGG

More advantages of using CALVITAM EGG are as follow: 

• Overcomes problems of thin shelled and leathery egg 

• Reduces incidences of uneven and rough eggshell 

• Reduces incidences of shell fracture with hair line cracks

• For bone strengthening

Deworming medicine for cattle

Image
Cattle deworming medicine INTRODUCTION: Worm infestation is one such production disease impacting all farm animals. Internal or external parasites are a major cause of disease and production loss in cattle, frequently causing significant economic loss and impacting on animal welfare. In addition to the impact on animal health and production, control measures are costly and often time-consuming. Internal parasites in cattle are found more in those animals which graze on open land. To earn profit from cattle farming deworm your cattle at regular intervals, don’t wait for worms to completely destroy the health of your cattle. Deworm your cattle as deworming controls internal parasites(worms) such as Roundworms, Lungworms, Intestinal worms, Tapeworms, Liver Flukes. As internal parasites utilize nutrition, so cattle thereby will not get appropriate nutrition & hence there is poor growth & production of cattle. Poor growth & production of cattle adversely affect efficiency of the...

CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASE (CRD) –IN POULTRY

Image
Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD) in poultry causes economical loss to farmer and in sever case it may cause mortality. The main agents involved in the infection are Mycoplasma gallisepticum and E. coli . Stress caused by moving the birds, by debeaking, other operations/handlings or other unfavourable conditions (e.g. cold or bad ventilation), make the birds more susceptible. The main agents involved in the infection are Mycoplasma gallisepticum and E. coli. Mycoplasma gallisepticum + chronic stress factor + secondary coliform organisms cause respiratory disease.  Species susceptible are Chickens , Turkeys etc. Transmission of CRD in Poultry The parent birds infected with Mycoplasma gallisepticum can transmit the organism through the egg to their offspring (vertical transmission). In addition, infection can occur by contact or by airborne dust or droplets (horizontal transmission). Egg transmission:  It is of major importance and the means by which the disease perpetuates ...
