Hagen Clay-Cal Calcium Supplement 575gm

Hagen Clay-Cal Calcium Supplement 575gm is a bentonite clay supplement inspired by natural clay licks which offers birds the benefits of their natural geography. It has the capacity to absorb and adsorb toxins in the birds body, while being a rich source of calcium and creating healthy gut flora. Clay-Cals main benefits are:

• Absorbing and adsorbing toxic compounds: Not everything absorbed in your birds diet is good. Bacteria, fungus, tannins and other impurities are found in vegetables, plant, genetically modified and non organic foods or by chewing on wood perches and toys. Clay-Cal goes through their system, picks up these compounds and safely carries it out in the birds waste, helping to deal with the casual exposure to toxic compounds in everyday life. The combination of bentonite clay, calcium and charcoal counters the dietary toxins by binding chemicals and bacteria. 
• Disease resistance and gut flora: Clay-Cal will protect the gastrointestinal tract from irritation and chemicals helping to counteract gastrointestinal disease and improve food intake. Clay-Cal is not a grit but is a healthier alternative to common gravel grit as it will not impact the crop. Montmorillonite clay is a bentonite with superior cation properties which has been included in Clay-Cal as it is an alkalzing agent which creates a higher pH in the digestive system. This helps to resist disease and promote good health and acts as a antacid to protect the gut lining from corrosion.
• Calcium source: Seed diets are low in calcium which is an essential nutrient in a birds diet to ensure devlelopment and maintenance of bones, feathers, nervous system, muscle function, blood clotting and cardiac function. Calcium also helps to reduce feather plucking and egg binding.
• Bandaid for wound healing: Clay-Cal also has another helpful benefit of being a mud poultice for wounds, especially in difficult to bandage areas such as wings and toes. When mixed with water, Clay-Cal forms a mud which can be applied to the skin to form a soothing, healing bandage. When dried, the clay will draw toxins away from the wound and promote faster healing.
