Support healthy digestion and optimal feed utilization with Vermont Poultry Grit Developer / Layer, a premium granite grit specially sized for growing and mature poultry. Made from high-quality Vermont granite, this durable grit helps birds naturally grind feed in their gizzards, improving digestion and allowing for more efficient nutrient absorption. Ideal for backyard flocks, homesteads, and commercial poultry operations, this grit provides essential digestive support as birds transition into larger feeds and grains.
Sourced from the renowned Rock of Ages Quarry in Graniteville, Vermont, this premium poultry grit is produced from recycled granite blocks, creating an environmentally responsible product while maintaining exceptional durability and performance.
Recommended Bird Age & Usage
Vermont Poultry Grit Developer / Layer is best suited for:
- Broilers after 7 weeks of age
- Layer chickens after 6 weeks of age
- Turkeys after 3 weeks of age
The larger particle size is designed to meet the digestive needs of birds consuming larger grains, scratch feeds, forage materials, insects, and other supplemental foods.
Why Poultry Need Grit
Poultry do not have teeth and rely on the muscular gizzard to break down feed. Granite grit remains in the gizzard and acts as a natural grinding aid, helping birds process grains, seeds, forage, and other feed ingredients more efficiently. Proper grit consumption supports healthy digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall flock performance.
Birds with access to pasture, scratch grains, kitchen scraps, insects, or whole grains especially benefit from regular access to appropriately sized grit.
Premium Vermont Granite
Manufactured from high-quality granite sourced from Graniteville, Vermont, this grit is processed and screened to provide a consistent particle size ideal for developing and laying poultry. The granite is exceptionally hard and long-lasting, making it an effective digestive aid that remains functional in the gizzard longer than softer materials.
