ShellFoss Improves eggshell stability
4. September 2024
Improving the egg shell stability of older laying hens
Today, it is possible to keep laying hens profitably for longer and longer. However, a limit is reached due to the steadily decreasing eggshell strength. More and more cracked and broken eggs are reducing the number of marketable eggs.
How can this age-related effect be counteracted, and how can shell stability be maintained for longer?
The key is not only calcium supplementation but also the structure of the eggshell itself. As the hens get older, there are deviations in the shell structure. The firmness decreases, leading to decreased firmness. This is where ShellFoss comes in with a unique new concept.
Your goal: Reduction of broken and cracked eggs
One of the key challenges in laying hen husbandry is the high rate of broken eggs, especially in older birds. This can not only lead to economic losses, but also to dissatisfied customers. ShellFoss offers a solution to improve eggshell stability and significantly reduce the number of broken and cracked eggs.
The concept behind ShellFoss?
ShellFoss is offered as a feed supplement for use in feed production, which supports the formation of an optimal egg shell structure over an extended laying period. Its effectiveness is based on a synergistic complex of selected vitamins and organic trace elements with a novel fermented plant extract.

Optimum shell stability: ShellFoss is more than just a feed supplement. It is a targeted solution that has been specially developed to improve shell stability. It provides essential nutrients that older laying hens need to produce robust eggshells.
The result? Healthier animals and tougher eggshells that make your eggs easier to transport and store.
-
Targeted nutrient supply: ShellFoss is specially formulated to enhance eggshell quality and productivity, particularly during the later laying phase. It is specifically fortified with essential nutrients, including a carefully balanced blend of vitamins and organic trace elements, supplemented with a uniquely refined plant extract.
-
Increasing egg production: ShellFoss not only contains essential nutrients, but also a balanced mix of vitamins and organic trace elements. These elements support the general health of your chickens and at the same time promote egg production. Especially during periods of “heat stress,” ShellFoss significantly reduces the proportion of non-marketable eggs.
-
Healthy chickens: ShellFoss goes beyond pure shell stability. Our feed formula promotes the health of your laying hens in a holistic way. The included vitamins and organic trace elements help boost immune function and support the overall well-being of your chickens.
The result is happy and productive animals.
-
Easy to use: The concept behind ShellFoss is designed to make it as straightforward as possible to use. It can be seamlessly integrated into your existing feeding practices. Simply mix ShellFoss with your laying hens' feed and the valuable nutrients will be easily absorbed. This keeps your daily operation running smoothly and efficiently.
ShellFoss is very easy to use. As a supplementary feed,add 2.5 kg per ton to the feed. For quick and intensive support, we recommend temporarily increasing the dosage to 5 kg per ton during the initial period.
ShellFoss is packaged in 25 kg bags and has the product number 68700 / 68701.
ShellFoss is an innovative solution that not only ensures shell stability but also promotes the health and productivity of your laying hens.
