Research workers have found
that insoluble grit improved feed
conversion, growth, and egg pro
duction when fed to chickens re

tions as compared to birds re
ceiving calcium grit, and no grit,
says County Extension Agent Don
Coin Walrod. They have fed in-
I soluble grit and calcium grit
compared to no grit in the rations
of chickens and turkeys.
The chief function of the giz
zard is to grind food. Grit aids
'the gizzard in this function by
providing hard surfaces between
which the particles of feed may
be crushed Grit remains in the
gizzard until it has been reduced
to such a size that it no longer
can assist in the grinding process.
Neither calcium grit nor crush
ed oyster shells seem suitable to
the dual purpose of supplying
calcium and hard grit, as evi
denced by their ability to im
prove growth, feed conversion,
or egg production. Chickens may
over-eat calcium grit in an effort
to get enough hard grit in the
gizzard.
Most authorities agree that
when a mash and scratch system
is used there is a definite advan
tage in using insoluble grit. How
ever, when all-mash systems are
used, grit is less important. Many
times the added advantages of
using grit for all mash rations
doesn’t warrant the added ex
pense of the grit. However, says
Walrod. it would seem that in
order to get the best growth, feed
conversion, and egg production,
poultrymtn should supply grit to
their chickens from the time they
are a week old, whether they are
receiving an all-mash diet or a
mash scratch ration.
